97 7.3 Wait To Start Light
It was upper 20's this morning so I expected it to give me a little trouble starting. At first the wait to start light didn't come on, I gave it about a minute and I started it. Going down the road it was fine at about 1800 rpm. right after that it seemed to almost retard the timing and bog/make deep noises. Thoughts?

First off, Welcome to FTE
Second, tell us a little more about your rig, what year, 250 350, how many miles, where your from, and so on.
Chances are, if it started ok your light may be just burned out. Weird things can happen when it gets cold out. Its been in the single digits here during the day, and below zero at night. So I've been trying to keep it plugged in or running as much as I can. I also think I may be a little paranoid. lol...

Sounds like a loose connection or bad wire then. The WTS light issue and the bog down issue are unrelated in my opinion.
For the bog down issue check to make sure that your exhaust back pressure valve isn't staying closed.
