That symptom is because of huge draw of power by your glow plug system. It
means your alternator is failing. So I'd put in a new regulator on it to see
if you can still keep your alternator. Two screws on back of the
alternator... very easy job.

Alternator must provide at least 13.5V at idle to charge battery...
Otherwise, it will just drain the battery further.

How old is your battery? Maybe you should have the charging system checked
by Autozone... free of charge.

Laughing Thanks my battery is new but i think i have found the problem i think that the glow plug relay was failing some times it never stoped heating the glow plug even though the yellow dash light was out other times it worked properly when it failed it would drain the battery dead i installed a new glow plug relay and i (so far ) can notice a difference THANKS DIESEL

The glow plug system is supposed to keep glowing for 3 minutes after
starting... so check after 3 minutes.

Checked after 3 minutes and original relay was failing some times staying on continuously draining battery, installed new one seems to have solved the problem so far notice now that after 3 minutes when relay shuts off all lights brighten THANKS
