Hey there

I have a 96 ford f-250 4x4 auto 7.3 turbo desial the problem I am haveing is the truck ran fine the stater started to mass up and drag down the batt I put a new starter in and hook the batts up to charge but now the truck wont fire off it truns over and over but never starts what can it this be i am thinking glow plugs are not heating up HELP thanks

Not a diesel guy but don't most have a light that say "ready" when glow plugs have heated up? The engine near certainly has to be able to turn at a reasonable RPM via good battery power and starter or I don't think these do well for cold starts,

Hey there the light goes out and the batts and starter are brand new

I know it's been nearly two weeks, but if you are still having starting problems, try cycling the key off when the glow plug light goes off, then turn the key back on, letting the glow plugs try to heat again. The glow plugs can be tested with an ohmmeter. One can short out and 'take out' others.
