My 1998 5-speed 12v CTD isn't turning over. I had a problem back in October where the alternator went out and I replaced it, and then a few days later the fuel shutoff solenoid went out. I put in a manual PTO cable in its place. When I replaced the alternator, I had the batteries and starter checked out too. The starter was last replaced in summer 2009, and the batteries shortly before the alternator.
Now when I try to start it, I just get a long crank, but it doesn't turn over. I looked at the battery terminals, and they appear to be okay. I drove the truck home last night, and tonight is the first time since then that I've tried to start it.
