What are the reasons why a pickup truck won't start?
1 Answers
Diesel pickup trucks may fail to start due to the following reasons: Reasons for empty fuel tank: Blocked pipelines or fuel transfer pump failure can prevent ignition. Never run the diesel completely dry before refueling, as this causes the engine to operate idle and suck in air, leading to severe engine damage. Reasons for insufficient engine compression: Severe cylinder liner wear or piston ring carbon buildup; insufficient battery charge preventing starter operation; blocked intake or excessive dust/moisture in air filter. Diesel engines are equipped with glow plugs - the indicator light informs users when preheating is in progress. When the engine is cold, turn the ignition key to activate this light. The engine can be started after the light goes off.
