Secondly....if there is higher mileage on this truck...the water pump maybe not up to the task?
As to why it wont start?...how may miles did you put on with the no heat condition? I'm sure that you changed the fuel filter
make sure the fuel pump primes...and there is good fuel pressure...and there is spark. And checked the relay & fuses for ignition and fuel?
under cold run...it may have shifted to fuel and air ratio tables to full fuel and essentially its flooded .... if you feel that spark is good & everything else is in line.
Take the battery cable off for 10-15 min....this should reset everything. then try holding the throttle to the floor while turning it over....so its turn it over and then floor it...continue to turn it over...this should shut off the injectors and it should start. if everything is working correct
