ok buddy of mine can't get it started. put the ez start on and the glow plug light doesn't come on. i put a new glow plug in. nothing. won't start. maybe the wire? any suggestions?

Ditch the ignitor and use a real one. That way you can be sure that the plug is getting hot. This is most likely the problem.

Step 1: new glow plug
Step 2: clear the engine of excess fuel
Step 3: check if the fuel line clip is clipped
Step 4: check if the fuel lines are crossed
Step 5: put a new battery in the ez junk controller
Step 6: air drop it from an airplane
Step 7: get a better starting system
Step 8: rejoice because your truck now runs!
Or do as cbonner said and use a separate glow ignitor, and also try returning the engine to breakin settings with the hsn 1/2 a turn leaner.

The most important part is step 6-7, take off the ez-start and air drop into a volcano.
