Well if you got **** batteries that is the most likely place to start.

you need to relax a bit and calm down. if you get this mad at it that only makes the problems worse. trust me i know. i've been fighting stuff with my dads crew cab for the last year and a half. it had been sitting a while and theres been 3 trucks put together of unkown sittings with them all. you just have to relax. if you don't know if you are getting fuel to the injectors but think you are, you need to crack the lines and see.

If you are getting white smoke out of the exhaust, you are most likely getting fuel to the injectors.

I understand your frustration. My truck has been a real PITA to start in the morning since I replaced the fuel filter a few days ago. I don't get why. It always started first crank no matter the temperature. It will start as soon as I hit the key later in the day, even 6 hours of sitting and it will pop right off but over night, no. I don't have any leaks to speak of, so I am stumped.

You'll get it figured out. Maybe it is just a bad case of leak back. Get those batteries nice and charged up and see how she goes.

Charge up those ******** and then see where the fuel stops coming! Start at the schrader valve and move from there! Check the injectors and see if fuel is there. If you start getting it there, bleed them and then fire it up.

How much fuel is in the tank? Shower heads might be busted and you are getting air.

Either way, it sounds like stubborn air intrusion.

yeah, go ahead and trade trucks.... You'll be back here in 4 months with the same problems unless you learn how to fix them.

If you do not have a fuel leak, fix the glow plugs. If you do not have the money to fix the glow plugs, sell the truck and buy a mid 80's F150. Use the extra money to hire someone to keep the truck in service.
Sorry.... diesel truck parts are expensive. The end.
