change your fuel filter. Its probably soaked in water.

Have a similar problem. Drove it home from AL in the spring and have been working on it (sort of, been rather busy with honey due things) over the summer and now want to get it on the road. replaced the fuel filter and the pressure switch and still seems not to get fuel. Should I break a line to one of the injectors to see if fuel is reaching there? Also still have an electrical problem will post there.

yes you can crack a line to see if fuel is getting to the injectors, if its not then you need to check the fuel cut-off solenoid in the top of the injector pump.

well boys i did last weekend finding my no start promble it turned out to the glow pug relay it was clicking and every thing light come on and all but no power coming out finlily had time to check thing out by pass relay cycle key two times fired like summer tried it day later samething so put new relay in allswell it happend that it went just after playing with truck so was looking in allthe wrong places so try that with simple test light had power to but none comeing out of relay

Tried to charge up both batteries today. As soon as the glow plugs started to heat up it seemed that the relay became too hot to touch. Is this normal? Kille the batteries at the same time.

NO . Sounds like the resistor on firewall may not be reducing volts from 24 down to 12 & less to the glow plugs. Use volt meter -set it on 200 DC volts and ck when you turn switch on & hear the solonoid click volts should read 24+ for a sec or two then go down to 12v or less. If its not doing this the resistor could be burned out and possibly the solo & GP could be burned out also. Check volts first & reply.

it should not get hot,
I'm betting that the glow plugs in your truck are fried now, also the glow plug relay and the ballast resistor on the firewall.

Trator supply has those huge honkin relays for the firewall but where does one procure a ballast resistors? Saturn?
