RE: no choke on diesel
diesels have glow plugs, no choke, there are two ways to help in starting your truck, 1 keep it pluged in under 32 deg. and test the glow plugs, if they are bad it will not start, they warm the combustion chamber for easeir starting, if not use a very little starting fluid and it will start, don't use too much or it could run away and blow and or damage bottom end and heads,, hope this helps you out
