HELP!!!!!
i have a 97 6.5, replaced the starter with a used one, was cranking over but no start, now will not crank over now. I have 2 1000cca batteries in it. turn key wait for glow plugs then it just clicks. connections are good as i am a heavy duty mechanic but i still have not got my head around these 6.5L.

any help will be awsome. would love to have this truck on the road again

Are your batteries up to full charge?
Computer has to see 100 rpm cranking before it will give any fuel.

Howdy
My next suspicion would be the used starter. As stated, it needs to get up to RPM before the computer will start it.
Was the initial problem a broken starter?

Test the batteries as well.If you have a bad battery it will drag your good battery in the gutter,just like an alcoholic.
Then double check your starter as mentioned.
