When i start truck in morning, it chugs then dies. i give it gas then let up and it dies. then after the third time i let it sit for awhile and it's ok. this has been going on for months. But this morning after the fourth try the truck died and now wont turn over. Help

 

You really should ask this down in our 7.3 section. How many miles on the truck? How does it run once it finally warms up? How old is the engine oil? What kind of oil are you running, and how cold is it outside right now?

 

140k miles. It does have an oil leak. Int the mornings it is 60 degrees at its coldest.

 

Like F350-6 says you really should scroll down the main Forum page to the diesel section and post your problem on the powerstroke page.
However when you say it will now not turn over do you mean that the starter motor will not turn the engine over? If so you may need to charge the battery or check the battery terminals.
The starting problems could be bad glowplugs or bad glowplug relay and possibly a fuel delivery problem (clogged fuel filter or bad lift pump or loose pipe connection). The powerstrokes are electronically controlled so very specialized and so I am just guessing, the guys on the powerstroke page will know a lot more.
Good luck.

 

Oil has to be full in order to run.
