need help

[keith2j]

I have a 02 F550. that won't start. I serviced it yesterday and everything was fine then i came home and forgot to plug it in. i went outside to day and pluged it in and waited about an hour and tried it. it started ran for about 3 or 4 mins then it shut off and now it won't start. it is 10 degrees here right now with the windchill 0. where should i look.

Thanks

had any problems with gelling?

BTW, welcome to the org!

The heater usually takes 3-4 hours to warm up sufficiently. Probably just didn't wait long enough maybe.

just got the truck friday.... my international started right up today but it didn't come in til 4am and was pluged in when it got here. if it is geling what should i do. i pluged it in around 2 or 3 and it still won't start.

It should crank and run without plugging in if the glowplug system is working right and the compression isn't too low.

I just when back out and tried it. it seems like it want to start but won't. i did notice the tach isn't moring at all. could it be a CPS. the truck has 227,725 miles on it..

Dont forget that ford had a recall of some of the CPS'. You can go to the Ford recall and see if it is covered. Might save you some money.
