These days gelling is rare.

First, a few questions ...

1. How cold is it there?
2. Any fuel in the fuel filter canister?
3. Do you still have the WTS (wait to start) light?

A little more info would help. If the truck has been sitting for a while, and has not had fuel added to it since summer or fall, I can see that as a possibility. But, more than likely, it's a blown fuse.

Do you get a wait to start light? If not check fuse 22 in the under hood power distribution box. It powers the fuel heater, and PCM relay. If it is blown, unplug the fuel heater and replace the fuse.

NOOOOOO!!! These engines are nothing like a gasoline engine where that works. If you pour fuel down the intakes, you'll bend a connecting rod.

Things we need to know:

1. Does the tach move when you are cranking the engine?
2. Check fuse #22 in the engine bay. If it's blown, disconnect your fuel heater on the fuel bowl and replace the fuse.
3. Report back with findings.

Ha... nice. You beat me to it by about 30 seconds.
