GREAT INFO!
i had an appointment with the mech today because i have been having cold starting problems to the point of my batteries going dead trying to start it. went out this morning, left the key on for a minute or two and it then started right up. ???????? how often should glow plugs be changed?

Steve, If you haven't figured it out yet it sounds to me like your glow plug relay not the plugs themselves. Every time you start your truck, worm or cold, the relay engages then disengages, when it disengages the points inside the relay arc across the relay disc and it creates a small burn mark on the disc. After a few thousand starts the disc gets all pitted up which can cause an intermittent connection, so one time you might get a good connection, plugs heat up
and the truck starts, the next time you may not get a connection so the plugs never heat up and your truck won't start.
