Let me make sure I have this straight. After all you've desribed, when you try to start, nothing despite having fuel in the filter bowl. Is that correct?
How long have you owned the truck and why do you think the temps have something to do with it? How many miles?
When was the last time you changed the oil and what is the current level on the stick? How are your batteries? One bad one will kill ya.

don't think temp issue.....but was low on fuel and filled up tank w/diesel before problem started....air filter & fuel filter very dirt....checking fuel pump for power next.....because seems like something keeping fuel sending to motor off line....will keep updated.....

Turn the key on and get under the truck right away to hear and feel if the pump is running or trying. If you've done that. You could run a jumper wire to the positive terminal on the pump from the positive terminal on the battery and check for operation. (Hook the batt side first, then the pump). You could also use a battery charger in a similar fashion.
If the pump is dead, it's not a fuse. If it runs, try to start it that way.
If it still won't start, hook up a hose to your drain tube from the filter bowl. Run it into a suitable container and check for suitable flow volume. Shouldn't just trickle along.
Good luck.

When I first bought my truck I was finding out a lot of air can get in.
