[QUOTE="NotMatt, post: 1275223, member: 15947"] First thing to check... are your glow plugs working? The relay is prone to failure. When you start it, does the volt gauge stay way down to the left for a while and then suddenly pop up to "normal" after running for a minute or two, or does it pop up to normal right away? If it pops up to "normal" right off the bat, then your glow plugs aren't working, which will cause it to be hard to start when cold, and when it's really cold it will run like dog poo until things warm up a bit. The glow plug relay is under the top cover, mounted on the passenger side valve cover sort of. Find it, make sure you have constant power to it (it's fed from the starter soilenoid on the inside of the pass. fender), then have a friend turn the key to on, but not start the rig, while you have your hand on the relay. You should feel it click on. If not start there with replacing that. [/QUOTE]
