I'll have to try that. I did get a clicking sound from the fuel shutoff solenoid when I jumped it to the battery. Do I need to bleed this thing more maybe? I am going to pull off a couple of lines from the injectors and check for adequate fuel flow when cranking. If this thing got air locked...

Well I checked voltage at the relay and its good. I also checked it at the wires and its good. 12v and when it clicks it goes to 0. But before it clicked the voltage rised slowly from about 12v to 12.75 volts. Is that ok? So assuming the gp's are good, does that mean the problem is my...

Does the engine have to be cranking when I squirt so WD-40 in there? I kinda squirted it in there and then put the air cleaner back on and then got in the truck and cranked it.

I did try WD-40 and a bit of diesel fuel in the intake but nothing at all. I am gettin no smoke and no sputter at all. That is why I am so confused. I cracked the injector lines and all of them got wet when I cranked it and I pulled one of the gp's after I cycled them a few times and it...

How do I check if its leaking air?

Thank you for your reply Smokey. I am getting diesel to the filter. I bled this with the valve on the upper right (sitting in the cab) of the filter. The GP relay is clicking and I did seem to get warm glow plugs - I pulled one out after I cycled them. I am going to check the voltage on the...

It really doesnt appear to be leaking but I am going on two weeks now and still no start. So far I have: Replaced fuel Replaced fuel filter Replaced fuel pump Replaced glow plugs Replaced batts I bled the fuel system at the filter and again at the injectors. I cracked the injectors loose and...

Check the FAQ but some guys have used autozone AC40 for about $6.

I am gonna give it a shot. I have to wait for my new glow plugs to come in anyway. They are the stock-type batteries (6mtl ?) and they were replaced in the truck in 12/07 Andy

I was going by the fact that after a few hours on the charger, the batts could barely turn the engine over. Maybe I wasn't charging them long enough or maybe a fast charge is not the way to go - i'm slow-charging now. Andy

Well I took the batts to Napa and they tested them underload and told me they are both good!:-D They show good voltage but are only producing about 400 CCA each. I am going to leave them on the trickle charger for a while see what happens. The funny thing is they werent taking a charge in the...

Hey guys. I am thinking of getting new batteries for my 08 but want to make sure mine are totally shot before I replace them. Peace of mind, ya know? So they are not strong enough to turn over the engine more than a couple of times and they won't accept much charge at all but when I volt...

Nice Find!

So they are different from civi model batteries?

What is the replacement battery at the local autoparts store? Is there a direct replacement for the stock one? Are they the same as civi models? I want to call around and see if I can find a pair tomorrow. Thanks, Andy

If its below 32 you must keep the pedal to the floor to start.

Dammit. Didn't notice ds damage until I read this! Went out to look and sure enough...fork marks.

Hey guys. I am replacing the fuel pump and had a question. I found a great write up on CK5 about pump replacement but was wondering if I had to touch the pushrod? If I just swap out pumps do I have to remove this and reposition? The TM says not to touch it if just replacing the pump. Anyone...

Correction - I don't need any pics of GPR. Just found the post that stated the wiring arrangement does not matter as long as its big to big and little to little.
