Using starting fluid can ruin your glowplugs! I know, i have to do it all the time... But anywho, if it didnt run or try to run on starting fluid you are not getting fuel. You might even have to replace your glows if you used a lot of ether. But if your light is coming on and it has started well the past few days cold i would think they are good. CHeck to make sure the lift pump is pumping like before,key on does the pump vibrate? Jump the fuel pump relay with a paperclip and open the water bleeder, does fuel come out? Check your OPS, if there is not enough oil pressure than the lift pump wont pump. Then move to the injection pump, crack and injetor line ath the injector and crank the truck, see if fuel comes out. THat should give you a point to start....
