[DIY] diesel truck starting problem

 

For a 1995 ford power stroke diesel engine (F250).
Starter motor cranks, but doesn't catch.
I'll get a little hint that a cylinder fired now and then,
but does not keep running.
Thick white clouds coming out of exhaust after trying to crank.

Glow plugs and injector wiring into the heads replaced this past
year.
Tried topping off the battery on charger in case batteries are
low.

Next things to try, plugging in the block heater, and perhaps
some ether in the air intake.

Normal air temps are around the 35-40 degrees, cold humid.
(pacific northwest).

It last was running about 2 weeks ago, its sort of the
intermittent use vehicle...

Any other suggestions of things to investigate?

thanks
dave
