Upon hooking up the OBD scanner, I get a C0899 (Device voltage low), a C0561 (ABS disabled, invalid

to low batteries, which I've treated badly this winter - only short trips to the store, etc. Trips
that should have been made walking or riding a motorcycle. So, the charger is on, and we'll see what
happens when the batteries are up to snuff.

"Glow plug" figured prominently in those threads I read about remote
start not working. It might be worth a shot. Does it run a little
rough for a minute on a regular start? I don't know a lot about
diesels but I am guessing if a glow plug was not working, it would
miss a bit until it started "dieseling"
It may just be a loose connection I guess.

The glow plugs will burn out over time. I've had three go bad since I bought the truck. With seven
working, there is no problem starting it, and it runs fine. No roughness at all.

There is a problem with the glow plug controller on at least the 2002-2007.
You would get both missing glow plug ODB codes and also a failure to
communicate with the controller. The solder connections to the plug would
break.

It's reading a problem with plug #3. It's done the same with #1 and #4. All was well once they were
replaced.
