Help...Will not start !!!

We have a 2001 F250 7.3 turbo desiel that ran beautiful until this morning. Cranks great but will not fire up. It was running fine when we parked it yesterday. We tried every couple hours but she is "no go". Any comments would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Steve

Any smoke out the tailpipe when cranking?? If "no smoke" - then I'd agree with Magnum on the CPS. Otherwise I'd be thinking to check the Glow Plug relay...

I just had the same problem with my truck. It would crank, and blow lots of white smoke out of the tailpipe. I changed the GPR (glow plug relay), about $20 at NAPA, and it started fine this morning. Where are you located, are the mornings chilly?
Hope this helps
