Success

Never trust wire colors -- that's my lesson. Someone in the trucks past replaced the black ground lead to the solenoid with a red one. The batteries were being installed with the polarity reversed. When I turned them around things were great. You would think that the negative cable being connected to the chassis would be enough of a clue for me. The starter turned -- next I need to add some fuel.

I had to reinstall the tank -- it was out when I got the truck -- will I have a problem bleeding the system or do I need to?
