Mine started at -4 this morning not plugged in after setting all night. I waited about 15 sec after the wait to start went out & she fired up.
I'd suggest checking your GPR, just because it's new doesn't mean it's working. If your glow plugs were working I don't see any reason for it to be giving you problems unless your batteries on on the way out.
