Just replaced the glow plugs with canadian internet bought delphys, and now the truck wont start when cold.Once it starts (either) and worms up, it will restart run & drive just fine.Pryer to changing the glow plugs truck started ok, but found three gp that where bad and replaced all.Also want to mention wts light seams to go off quicker and then flash a couple times ,batteries are good ,lift pump good,turns over great, just wont fire when cold even when plugged in. Please help advise!

Ok before you use ether again. Read this.

It's there for a reason. Ether on a 6.5 is a bad idea.

If it started before and wont' start now, and the only thing you changed were the GPs, i'd say it's a wiring problem.


when you changed the GPs did you make sure you were getting power to the new ones? Ohm the new GPs out. You should have 0.8-1.0 ohms for a reading.
