If it cranks over and wont start when cold it could be bad glow plugs or leaking fuel lines allowing air to enter the fuel system.

Have a strange humming noise that can be heard

Hi:
Often "humming" noises like what you are experiencing are caused by a failing bearing somewhere. Some usual suspects are wheel bearings, alternator bearings, and sometimes even your waterpump, but usually it starts leaking too. To start narrowing down what it is, have someone ride with you to see if the noise is coming from left side or right side, or engine area, then see if it happens when the car is not moving, or just when the drive wheels are pulling the car? This way , hopefully you can pin point the culprit!

No charge?

The batteries on the diesel 'cruisers are strange in that under normal running the two are wired in parallel. When you turn the key to the "start" position, the battery relay wires them in series to provide 24 volts to the starter. Therefore, if either one of the batteries dies, you won't be able to start the truck as both batteries are required in order to provide 24 volts.

The wiring diagrams are available in Toyota publication RM315E. A search of the ih8mud forums should provide you with a download link.
