    New turn signal issue tonight

    Take your batteries in and have them load tested to make sure you have good batteries. Why do you think you have a draw on your batteries?

    New turn signal issue tonight

    12.3 is still a dead battery. It should be 12.7 and higher. If 12.3 is as high as they charge, then it's time to visit your battery store.

    New turn signal issue tonight

    Resistor fire

    Unless it is really cold there where you are the truck can still start without the aid of your glow plugs. Did you take them out and bench test them? Did you hook everything back up correctly on the new solenoid?

    I never had to deal with living in an area where salt is used, thankfully. Whenever I launched my boat in the saltwater on the west coast I would always rinse the underneath side of the truck with fresh water.

    Hard Start Issue

    Hard Start Issue

    The last three posts offer you some sound advice. Unless the remaing fuel has an abundance of water I think your problem may be caused by other issues.

    Hard Start Issue

    Even with contaminated fuel, you should get some kind of detonation. Is the engine just cranking or are you getting any sound that the fuel is trying to detonate?

    Excellent. Be careful to not over exceed the weight capacity. A few ounces could make a big difference.

    There are three rubber fuel lines attached to the sending unit to the hard fuel lines. Have they been replaced? They Could be loose or cracked.
