No start.

Ok changed my oil rail plug this afternoon. Top back off with oil from what I lost, went to start my truck and it just cranks. Have a battery charger on it now. Now here is where its weird, when I turn the key it cranks, I can then turn the key off, remove it and it continues cranking.

Then I put the key in turn it to the on position and try to jump start the starter relay on the pass side fender well, same thing. I it will just crank on its own.

Rpms, are rising as it cranks. Had no issues at all yesterday. No smoke comes out the exhaust like it normally would when it stops cranking.

Never mind, starter solenoid was sticking, and I think I had some water in my fuel. Talked with my dad and he was the one that came up with the solenoid. Used marine starter fluid and it fired up.

Man...be careful using starter fluid on the powerstroke motor.

Becareful. Using it on any motor that's not to good at all don't let that become a habit

Only way to start it, turned the key on let it sit for 10 minutes. Glowplugs were no longer on and 1 quick shot while I was cranking.

I know nothing sounds better then the hitch pitch scream of the motor when it's running on starting fluid LOL

There was no high pitched scream, at least on mine there wasn't.
