How long does the WTS light stay on? Any air in the fuel system? Condition of batteries and starter?

How long are you holding the GP button in before you try turning it over - and on the schrader valve is any diesel pumping out while your turning it over? Sounds like its firing just fine but not getting fuel. Id check and make sure that your getting fuel coming from your schrader valve and it should pump out pretty good if its not crack the injectors 1 at time till fuel is coming out of all of them.

Like i said, its probably fuel - I doubt unless its like 0 degrees where your at that the glow plugs are keeping it from going but its possible.
