Welcome to the SS forums, yep that is TOO high, it is normal to see 0V on the 14V tap unless it is connected to the 12V connection on the batteries.
Here is the troubleshooting guide.
There are two 12V feeds to the TCM, one is hot all the time and the other is supplied by the relay, and yes that relay has a 24V coil to switch the 12V
Most need ALLOT of help, they are for the most part junk with some potential, expect to spend as much to get one fully operational as the original cost and then feel very lucky if it doesn't.
Most likely ether the glow plugs are bad or the EESS (start box) is bad or both.
After you wait 20 seconds does it start right up with no smoke and run smoothly?
Do you see the volt meter bouncing around during this time but before trying to start?
When it says to disconnect the glow plug controller it is talking about the module (TSU) that is screwed into the water cross over on the front of the engine on the passenger side, has about 6 wires or so, you squeeze the connector to pull it off the TSU
You should always remove this connector...
The TCM is in a protective box on the driver side rear floorboard, there is an unused connector on that box and that is where you put put the jumper in from A to E to get the codes.
This is one electrical job that you do not remove the battery cables first, if you do you erase the stored codes...
Understand the TCM should never try to lock the torque converter in 1st or even 2nd gear IIRC, and of course never in reverse.
The last couple guys that had this issue at a stop had defective TCMs, it is also possible there is a short in the harness so you should follow the harness from the TCM...
The only place I can think of right away is number 16 on the power steering cooler, there are probably others.
The cooler has two of these, they only show one side.
There are some cap screws in the transfer case but they are metric.
Welcome to the SS forums.
It sounds like your torque converter is trying to lock up at inappropriate times.
The first thing you need to do is read the codes using the jumper described in this supplement and the trans light.
The trans light should be coming on when the run switch is turned to run...
If you do not have any 12V devices connected to the batteries then any one of the 4 connections will leave it inert.
If you do then remove the 12V connections while you troubleshoot this problem, you should also unplug the TSU on the passenger side of the water cross over to help keep you from...
