if its smoking white while cranking that at least tells you that your idm is throwing fuel and the injectors are firing. on your next attempt at starting turn the key to on and wait 15 to 20 seconds AFTER the wait to start light goes out before cranking.
also make sure the glow plug relay is clicking when you turn the key on.

If it's that cold, something is a miss with the glow plugs. Smoke means the fuel is there, and since these are compression motors, all they need is heat after that.
Man, a grand? Where the heck did you buy your parts? And what caused you to buy UVC's If you had burnt pins, you may still have a burnt wire a few inches up the harness.

Yeah I ended up taking it to a shop here in Grand Rapids, Diesel Performance, i knew the price was steep for the fix, but I was in a pinch and needed the truck for work. They were fast like 2 hrs for the fix. But the only thing that Im waiting on is a new block heater cord from ford ( backordered for 2 weeks) so I cant plug it in. Im pretty sure they replaced the burnt wires. I just wish this thing would run when its cold.
