Truck wouldnt start

It got down to -5F last night. I did not plug my truck in as it has been starting up just fine at 0 and just above 0. I went to start it this morning and waited for the glow light to go off, but when I turned the key to start the truck I got nothing. No click, no engine turning over, nadda. We took our other vehicle, came home about 2 hours later and it started right up. The air temp was up to about 10F at that point. Any thoughts?

Sounds like nothing to do with temps, you must have a bad ground strap or connection. What year and did you get the ground strap recall?

My truck is a 2004 (May 2004 build) F250. Never heard anything about any recall from Ford or my dealer.
