You may want to re-post in the F series Section under Diesel, but I would recheck the glow plugs. How long does the light stay on before it goes off so you can try to start it. If it's only like 5 to 8 seconds, more than likely in this cold weather, your plugs are weak. I had to turn the key off and back on about 3 times before mine were hot enough to spark the fuel, I changed them the following spring. Also are you sure your injectors are actually opening? Just cause you have fuel at the rail don't mean it's going through the injectors.
