When it actually runs I plan on pulling a camper from state to state for contract work each job last about three months and then on to the next state. I'm having trouble getting the truck running never worked on a diesel engine before just gas never had this much trouble getting an engine to run first off put two batteries on it and cranked it over it did turn over but quickly melted the side post on one of the batteries so now it has brand new cables and top post lugs then it would crank over but no start. It was not getting fuel so I changed the lift pump still no fuel so changed the pmd now I have fuel and it won't fire checked glow plugs they look good and get red hot if you put power to them checked for power to the glow plugs they are getting power but don't turn red hot when powered by the truck I'm sure it has compression it's killing the starter and drained the batteries needless to say you don't get a lot of chances for it to start. The new starter and bolts are on the way. It never even acts like it wants to start only thing I noticed was a lot of white smoke coming out of the air inlet that hooks to the turbo seems like it should be going out the tail pipe. Pumped out some fuel it looks like mountain dew poured some in a tin can tried to lite it with a burning piece of paper won't lite then uesd a propane torch and it will burn with the torch gonna drop the tank clean it or replace it hope it's not rusty. Gas can and fresh diesel will be my next try. I know your not supposed to spray it with ether but I got frustrated with it and hit it with the magic spray it still did nothing didn't even fire tried holding a gas soaked rag in front of intake hose and nothing what could be causing the truck not to fire on any thing it's just not making any sense any help would be appreciated and thanks for any and all help
