NOT WANTING TO START

I hav a 2001 F250 with 75,000 miles on it!! I have never had any problems with it starting till this year and i have already put 2 new batteries in it and it spins GREAT but somtimes thats all it will do when its cold like around 15 or so! So i am thinking its in my glow plugs! It will spin and spin but once it tries it starts right up and don't blow much smoke or anything its like once it starts its like its hot! However once it cranks that morning i have no problems with it the rest of the day! I need some advice! I don't think its the CPS because we had a service truck that would crank but would die every mile or so and thats what was wrong with it! Mine has never died or idled rough or anything once it cranks!!

I would check the glow plug relay first.

If that checks ok then you can check the glow plugs at the valve cover harness.
