Try priming the fuel filter (half dollar size cylinder on top of the filter assy) until it's hard. Try again. If it starts, the filter is due for service and/or you have a significant fuel system air leak. It isn't cold enough, almost anywhere, for it to not start w/o glow plugs. If it seems to crank slow, it could be a battery problem. Low voltage will prevent a start, even if the engine cranks almost normal.

I tried to prime and it was firm after a couple of tries. I also replaced fuel filter in the last month Truck is not a daily driver lately. Both batteries are green top Interstate Maybe 10 months I will check but it turns over well.
Thank you

Try leaving the fuel filler cap loose overnight. If it's failed (not venting), the overnight temp change can create enough vacuum in the tank to prevent fuel flow. It isn't that uncommon.

Thank you
I will do that right now and try tomorrow.

A little more info would be nice. Is it cold there?

An aftermarket security system?

In addition, some of these trucks are getting old enough now that a faulty ignition switch could be a possibility - once the other usual suspects have been ruled out.

Thanks for your help Had tow truck pick up my pick up. Mechanic says a short somewhere sending to glow plugs. Fires right up if he clears codes.So now looking for a short somewhere?????????

Mechanic calls yesterday and says its ready come get it. Truck starts fine. He said he got it to start once he cleared the codes. But also said that he did not repair anything N/C So is this Problem Solved???? Sounds like it could happen again. Thank you for the help
