    batteries discharged very quickly and truck is dead

    Digging up bones here, but that's why so many questions are (not necessarily here...) answered with "run a search!" Well, that's where I started and believe I may have found my issue. mid-20's cold start this morning, glow plugs did their thing and the engine spun OK, *maybe* a bit slow, but...
