Well I took the GST out for a spin today. I ran it into a bush going about 25. I broke the front steering arm off of its little ball so the front tires looked like this. \ ---- /. But it was an easy fix and all I had to do was snap in back into the little ball. But then my engine shut off, I probably overloaded the engine, a bit rich. any how i tried to start it back up but my glow plug wasnt lighting. Either A its dead, or B my starter is dead. But the glow plug looks kinda blackish, but the coil looks good. Im not sure, Im gona charge the starter but I will be ordering a few new things such as glow plugs and Reciever pack and fuel filter.
Darkfire,
With the glow plug out, if you look down into the cylinder, what color is the top of the piston? It should be a whitish to yellowish color, if it's a darker yellow or dark in anyway that's an indication the truck is running too lean, same goes for the plug, it shouldn't be black. Also sometimes glow plugs will be fouled and still light when you put them on your igniter, I'd try a new plug just to be sure.
Yeah one of those damn cement trash cans jumped out in front of my truck at 40mph the other day, scuffed up my front bumper a little..
