Won't crank over

I have a 2004 6.0 L that wont crank over soon as it gets below 20F outside. I the summer it fires right up. This has been a issue for 3 winters now. There is no clicking sounds or anything, I have changed batterys, plugged it in ect, lots of power in the cab and lights dont dim during when I attemp to start. Every so often it does crank over and start???

Any ideas?

Welcome to FTE Super2011

A little more information will help, right now it sounds like something in the steering column.

There is a yellow with light blue striped colored wire adjacent to the passenger side battery in the engine compartment, near the vacuum pump that has a "squeeze-and-pull" type connection. Disconnect it, and jump the male end of the connector to the passenger side battery positive terminal. The starter should crank when you do this.
