Just Won't Go!
When we had our last cold snap my '05 F350 6.0L wouldn't start. I made sure it was plugged in and the block heater was working, so I left it to warm up for a couple of days. When I went back to start it, it would fire and run for a few seconds then quit. Figured it wasn't quite warm enough, so I popped a magnetic heater on the oil pan. It's turning over very freely now that it's warm inside and out, but it just won't fire up.
Could someone please help me out so I can be driving again in the near future?! Thanx

if its turning over good then it is most likely frozen fuel filters.
You'll have to crawl under truck on drivers side and replace with new fitler & dump in some kind of Fuel treatment.
Hope you get it going.

Did fuel rise slowly in the housing and then bleed off once you shut the key off, or did it rise RAPIDLY and overflow from the housing (like it's supposed to)?

I don't think it's relevant to your issue, since you already mention that fuel "squirts" out from the secondary fuel filter when you cycle the ignition key, which tells me there's no issue with the fuel pump circuit.

Even if the switch doesn't apply, the thread that BPofMD gave you a link to might help.
