Spraying Ether in these motor's is a HUGE NO NO!! That could cause big problems. Somebody who know's more about this should chime in.

Ether in diesel engines = nothing but problems! I hope ya can get your truck working, but NEVER use ether in it again!!

Back in the day, ether was used for cold starting diesel engines in heavy equipment, but modern day engines are not meant to sustain tyhat initial charge that ether produces.
