Make sure no water in cylinders, pull the glow plugs and turn her over, glow plug relay probably full of water replace it. make sure to change the oil, check to make sure no water contamination in the brake fluid

once you get it all back together,...don't forget to drain the axles....and refill ---- and don't wait to long to do it. The longer it sits the worse the damage!
