Daren I have had a 460 Diesel for about 30 years I start it with one 12 volt battery as the tractor vet, Hugh, and others have said hold the glow plugs until you think your thumb is going to break. I don't know about the others ,but mine floods easly so I leave the throdle at low idle, it has always started on 4 cyl. and progressed to all 6. One other thing the starter needs to be in very good condition, and a good battery or batterys. It should turn over like it dosen't have much compression. A starter can start to drag and you don't realize it. Onced in the summer I had been baling round bales with mine and I went to eat it started after 1 hr. with out glow plugs normally about 15 min.
