You should get puffs of white smoke which is the unburnt diesel, that is if you have fuel. If it was ran dry you'll have to bleed the injectors. I would charge up your batteries, and not try to jump start it.

People need to stop bidding on those trucks until they can do...
The descriptions lately have been scheisse.
Was bidding on a tractor on iron planet, and about half way through the auction they updated the tractor from "won't start" to " Runs but trans won't engage". I called the rep and they told me a whole different range of symptoms...
