Ok. I got this truck a couple months back and when the seller was showing me how it starts, he said it needed glow plugs before winter. When it started before, I always had to crank, stop, turn key off, crank again and it usually started (sometimes took a third attempt). After starting, there was relay clicking sounds (usually three off and on cycles) and the volt meter would move from yellow to green and vice-versa on each click of the relays until it was done and meter was in green. Today I changed the wellman glow plugs that were in it for A.C. Delco 13Gs. Now it takes seven or more crank attempts to start. Oh yeah, last time I started it right before dark, it started at high rpms for a second or two and reaked of unburnt fuel. I only do about three second cranks of the starter. Question is, why on earth would it be worse with brand new glow plugs?
P.S. There was this in the glove box when I got the truck.![20151116_171628.jpg 20151116_171628.jpg](https://www.steelsoldiers.com/data/attachments/406/406092-6f83e8cf4b3ac412e95c5c89f2d3447c.jpg)
