My truck is a 1993 Chevy K2500 with a 6.5L diesel turbo. My problem is after the engine has warmed up and I turn it off it doesn't want to start again. It only does this after sitting for 10- 15 min. when it is cold I turn the key let the glow plugs cycle and it starts right away. After it warms up I turn the key to let the glow plugs cycle and the glow plug light doesn't come on. I have changed the control module twice and the glow plugs at my mechanics request. The truck runs very good once it has started. please help thank you

I have the same issue with a K3500 dually but believe that I have the part coming in to fix the issue. The switch in the thermostat water neck crossover pipe is bad (terminals broken off). Once I change it I will let you know what the results are.
