Anyone know which fuse controls this? I can run out quick and check it. I had read #30, but not sure. Is there an easy way to check if the fuel bowl heater is working?

Thanks much everyone!

Oil changed recently - Rotella T 10w30. I've had problems with first couple minutes of running with temps as high as 30°F, so I'm doubting the oil viscosity, but it may be a combination of that with my glow plugs. I think I'm fighting multiple problems as the truck never ran yesterday after the early morning problems until I jumped the GPR. But if the glow plugs stay on for a max of a minute, I've got other problems. My wife let the truck warm up for at least 5 minutes yesterday morning before heading out.

So what's the news on this thread? Did you ever get it figured out? Does it still do the same thing if you don't let it warm up? Let us know!

Truck is running great now. Had to replace the starter (again) last night. Glad I bought the lifetime one from O'Reilly's. Looks like they have upgraded the starter - seems like a much better one. Haven't tried starting it and taking off right away in the morning yet - have let the truck warm up at least 10 minutes. Will give it the real test on Monday.

Thanks all for all the help!
