Lack of smoke would point toward injectors not firing. If injectors are firing and your cranking on it but won't start, you'll start seeing white smoke out of tailpipe. White smoke is unburnt fuel. If the Glow Plug System isn't working right and injectors are, fuel is being sent into the cylinders but not firing and passing on out the system via white smoke. If the Glow plug system is working but injectors aren't putting out the fuel, hard to get started and lack of white smoke. Still could be a glow plug issue, so until you need to rule that out. But I can fire my truck off with no glow plugs down to near freezing. Let me find you a link to acronyms, so you can better understand what folks are trying to say.

Because the block/fuel/everything is warm enough to handle the overfueling
I got mine fixed it was just the number 8 injector stuck open.
I thought it was GPs but it was just too much fuel in a cold engine.
Before changing anything just get someone with a tool to shut off the individual cylinders when its cold and when it stops smoking thats your bad cylinder.
EDIT: YouTube - White Smoke GP or GPR related
If this is like yours, you have the same problem as me most likely...

Don't get me wrong, it doesn't like it. Anything above about 40* though and it will bark to life no problem.

I got complaints because if someone had their window open "HELLO DIESEL"
hahaI let it do that for 2 weeks every day until it started doing it while i was driving... it wouldnt ever get warm enough to burn the massive amounts of fuel.... 6mpg city because of it....
it would get warm enough on the HWY to burn it i got about 16 then
thats when i came to the conclusion it was overfueling

Clay's got 'em!
Riffraff Diesel: Injectors
You gonna go stock or give it a kick in the pants? Call Clay and he can explain it... might wanna consider some stage-1's. Not a whole lot more power, but definitely a ton better than stock!

Agreed, if I had the money I would have done this, I only replaced the defective one due to lack of funds.
