Starter has been working fine past couple of months, so hoping that It is not it. Ugggg,,, Thank you for the glow plug information. I had not thought about it from that perspective. I will check the glow plugs and see if they are working.

So, if the GP Lelay seems to be getting power, and I have all new glow plugs, and I am hearing the clicking inside the cab, and my batteries are charged, and I have a new starter, Where else should I check?

Yep, I charged the batteries this week and they are fully charged. When I crank it, it is barely turning over, as if the batteries are very low. Describe a scenario for when I would Use the manual push button.

The d1777...is that a bad relay? Should i have chosen the powerstroke relay or another?

So, in theory, How would I utilize that? With the key turned on, I'd be able to push the button and start the truck?

That would explain why the blue wire was hot. Manual starter? I forgot that was added.

I will find the link, but I am 97% sure that it was a thread here on the forum. Seeing your response, I am going to bet that was probably not the correct one. ;(

I think I have ordered too many parts lately.

Ugggg!!! No wonder it's not working!!!! ;) Sorry for the wrong part number. Let's try AC Delco number D1777, instead. :)

TM -20 shows a list of wiring, their colors, and where they go, but I'm not seeing a red listed. I'll look for another TM that may show that. It seems as though the red wire (lead) goes through the firewall into the cab area. I'll bet it goes to the GP card.

small pink wire is getting between 10-10.5v. small red wire beneath the pink is getting 0 when turned on.

the small pink wire is not getting 12v....maybe 2-4v when key is on. I did put a new connection on the pink wire yesterday and maybe it's possible that I did not seat the connector well? (it was raining and cold when I was trying this yesterday.) the GP relay is an AC Delco #43-254.

Turns over extremely slowly. Does not fire. I hear the click inside the cab when I turn the key on and the wait light lights up and turns off, but after almost 20 seconds. The starter was rebuilt a couple of months ago, twice. (Long story, but it had to be done after a "small" fire.)

I am trying to figure out why my truck is not starting and I believe it is an electrical issue. This morning I "finally" learned how to use a voltmeter, thanks to YouTube. :) I tested: a. Batteries - fine b. Alternator - (Only one; Roscommon 12v truck) - seems to be fine c. Firewall bank...

Yep, I learned about heat shrink tubing from an Oklahoman. He actually taught me something. ;)

I'm having to recharge both batteries, as they keep draining. Then I have to check and see if there is air in my fuel line, as I recently replaced my fuel pump, and it's not running. Way too many moving parts. Uggg....

Definitely am going to heat shrink it. I have the shrink "tubes" on it and ready to fire it up, but I'm waiting to get the truck started first and make sure that my splices work before firing up the heat gun (lighter). :)

I keep laughing about this quote. I love it and am going to use it with my kids!! :D
