I hope everyone finds this post treating them well it's a beautiful day here in Columbus Georgia. I am currently stranded in Walmart parking lot in the truck listed in my signature just had the transmission rebuilt in which I will update my transmission thread later this evening if I can make it home. It's been running fairly well a little hard to start of course I know my glow plug system is not functioning properly but it has been starting a lot better lately since I've cleaned up a lot of connections and splice wires together to eliminate older corroded ones I just turned the truck off to go into Walmart came back out and it simply will not start. I have been out here going on two hours I have a very powerful jump box and it tries to start with or without throttle but it almost seems like it's not getting enough of something I'm trying to be optimistic. I know that this is such a simple fix I just need to get it back to my shop of course without the $150 Towing bill for my tow truck. I am getting fuel to the injectors icracked the ones that I had access to with a pair of channel locks because I don't have my toolbox with me getting plenty of fuel coming out when cracked the glow plug relay is clicking like it normally does I tried ether... just a split second once with no change at all because like I stated it is trying to start about 3 seconds after I turn it over it's just not enough to keep it running. the power plug closest to the radiator on the i_p I'm not sure what it's called when I take that club out by here clicking so thats functioning right the first 1 I don't know what what in the hell that when does but I will get around I'm mentally exhausted at this point because I failed to address this issue 4 months ago when I first got the truck started working on it all by the way I change the mechanical fuel pump out yesterday and noticed a little bit of better acceleration and throttle response since replacing it yesterday
