Ideas?

I can't figure this one out. It doesnt happen all the time just like once or twice a week. If I unplug the batterys it usually fires back up.

When it does turn over, does it usually tick like that?

GP relay?

Not glow plug relay and yes it just started clicking like that. It clicks from up in the dash I could feel the relay or whatever it is clicking.

Well truck is stuck no start now. Tried un hooking batterys nothing just does what the video showed.

Look for loose or chaffed wires for that relay. I would also try replacing it or swapping with another relay to see if its the actually relay that is bad. Do you know what the relay is for?

Have you ever replaced your starter?

Whytry · Sep 6, 2011

Yes I have replaced my starter but all wires are good to it and as for the relay I swapped and it is good I will look tonight to make sure battery terminals are clean and getting a good connection. that is what I am leaning towards now. I have no instrument power at all so I am thinking batterys even though they are clean I am going to clean them and check everything again. Thank you all for your help

I was just going to say that. That really sounded like a low voltage situation.
