No start

[diesel_hog]

Truck turned over twice started and just died instantly. Now no turn over at all. -30 Degrees out. Any ideas? started fine the past week in the same temperatures

Wont turn over at all?
Mileage ?
Same batteries as when you bought it?

[jamstoyz]

wow -30 degrees is cold. i would bet your fuel is gelled up and batteries weak. put some antigel in the tank, plug it in, and get new batteries. should be fine. when it ran the first time, was it blowin white smoke bad?

[diesel_hog]

Got er goin thanks. Ya when it started it was just puffin out the black smoke like i've never seen it! Is that normal?

Not normal but not bad, considering the temp. There was just more fuel in the cylinders. Since you probably cranked it and turned the key several times without it starting, it was probably "primed" pretty good.
