Things to check.

Slipper is too lose.
Flywheel nut has come lose.
Way too rich on the HSN.
Rock or something stuck in the drive train.

Check those things and let us know if that dosent fix it.

if all those things check out to be ok then it would have to be your one way bearing inside your transmission its not to hard to replace but you will need a special tool to get the clip off or you can try with a srewdriver or something but chances are you will ruin your clip

well its been a busy month and the truck has sat in the garage untouched....
havent fixed the problem..

so looking at it tonite, everything appears functional.

so my question is, could it be the glow plug is bad?

how do you know a glowplug is bad?
and that shouldnt affect the truck once its started should it?
im not sure but i think glowplugs are only needed to start the engine but thats it

thanks

The glowplug is required to make the engine run.....the igniter is initially used to get the glowplug to 'glow' but once the engine is running the glowplug will glow on it's own and in doing so ignite the fuel so I doubt that the glowplug is at fault.
My thoughts are that if the engine runs and revs but the vehicle doesn't go anywhere that the problem would be clutch is slipping/worn out or you have a diff issue

I'd check teh clutch out and make sure the flywheel nut is tight. If shoes, spring and nut are fine, then check diffs.

If engine is not making any power - runs, but has no real power, poss tuning issue or worn piston/sleeve.

1st spin your slipper gear.. if you can feel the tranny engage.. go to your clutch area... I would look more into the slipper clutch area. check/ tighten the slipper nut...

it also could be the main drive rod in the transmission, but most likely it is just a slipper issue. been through what you are going through quite a few times.
