hello bought truck last sept.ran great until today sat a week in 20 degree weather started right up idled 15 minutes.drove to work 35 miles 3 am started the truck to warm up for drive home truck was idling so i went back into plant 15 minutes later i go outside and the truck is dead.i went thru the glow plug sequence and cranked over nothing try a few more itmes and no start just crank over.hook up jumper cables to company truck (ford f250) f350 psd cranks much faster but no start.i notice a oil puddle under truck?it is engine oil and diesel,coming from the rear of the intake manifold?put 100,000 btu heater under truck, good heat for one plus hour coming up the underside of engine.so now i point the heater towards the transfer pump from tank along the frame rail.still nothing not even trying to fire.the total amount of oil looks to be 1-2 quarts.pulled the fuel filter cover and refilled with 911 diesel additive still no fire.i read a bunch of posts prior to posting i think i can rule out the cam positioning sensor the truck does show RPMS when cranking.tonite i will bring truck into the power plant to warm up for the 12 hour shift,i will crank with the valve open on the fuel filter to see if its the lift pump.sometime in the cold starts it will really surge up and down the rpms until it warms up maybe 3 to 5 minutes.any ideas will be put to use as best as can.PLEASE HELP.THANKS AGAIN.
