Well, apparently my truck decided to piss me off last night and felt that I hadn't given it enough attention yet.
When I went out to go to work this morning, the engine would crank, but it wouldn't start. The "wait to start" light was not coming on, which is a sign that there is some kind of malfunction in the glow plug and heating system.
I replaced the cam position sensor (b/c I had one already and they are known as an achilles heel on these trucks, luckily it's cheap and easy), but that didn't fix anything. Then I replaced the glow plug relay, but still no change. It wasn't getting any voltage when I turned the key to 'on', so I guess there something wrong deeper into the system...
So, I had it towed to the Ford dealer in Madison. Anybody that has been to my house can imagine pulling my truck out of my parking lot...
The dealer got it around 3:30 today but they haven't found anything wrong with it yet. I was planning on driving up to Mass. on Monday, but looks like I'm not going to get to do that now...
I guess it's ok to be pissed off at a vehicle occasionally, but what shitty timing :-(.
