hello whats up guys and girls i have a daihatsu rocky 1986 2.8 diesel non turbo, the engine its well taking care of and very clean. i know its an old truck but i just bough a new battery and when i start it up specially in the morning it takes a few attemps to fire on, now my question is: its that because its an old car, do i have to buy new alternator and starter, or its something completly normal. please let me know. thanks
No ... it is charging and turning the engine ..............
Does not need a new starter or alternator.
Possibly needs new glow plugs and diesel pump adjustment.
Change the fuel filter and see if that solves it before changing glow plugs etc
