Fuel gelled?
Yesterday I was down in Moab, UT. I filled up at a station that I normally don't like, bad luck a long time ago with their gas. I then drove about 70 miles out in the desert, rode motorbikes with my boys. Loaded up, drove 190 miles home in a snow storm. No problems. Started the truck this morning, no problem. Drove 8 miles to work. Came out tonight and it won't even begin to start. Cranks but never sounds like it is close to starting. Tried to leave glow plugs on for 2 minutes before starting. Tried cycling plugs several times. Nothing. I haven't had issues with starting, even in single digits here. Any ideas? I didn't check the upper fuel filter to see if the fuel is gelled, will do that tomorrow. Thanks for any advise

Well, thanks for all the replies. Anyway, I pulled the top fuel filter off and the fuel looked fine, not gelled. Had it towed to the dealer. Turned out to be a bad FICM. Thought I'd post the resolution in case some one else has a similar issue.

Also - do you have the inductive heat flash?
