Greetings,

The Service Throttle light could be from a bad throttle position sending unit on the foot pedal or a bad fuel injection pump and/or pump mount driver. This truck has drive-by-wire throttle with entirely electronic connections from the foot pedal to the fuel injection pump. Check your computer for codes. Setting a code 35 and/or 36 in OBD-I computers or a code 1216 in OBD-II motors will tell you if your going to be spending a lot of money or not for a fuel injection pump. Electronics plays a big part with these motors.

Clicking when you try to start could indicate a weak/bad battery (one or both) or a bad starter and/or starter solenoid. Perhaps even a bad ingnition switch, but less likely so. Check your voltage on both batteries individually and not when linked together. A problem with your glow plug relay could also stem from a battery issue, specifically not having enough juice to run the glow plugs.

Good luck - Jonathan
