won't start cause of cold
Okay i went to go out and start my truck this morning to let it warm up before i left for school it started but only ran for about a minute the it shut off...i am pretty sure the fuel line has water that is frozen in it. i have a turbo heater on it right now and i put garbage cans on the side to try to block the heat. then one of my friends told me to check the fuel filter and when i prime it it gets fuel... any suggestions would help thanks

I'm in South Fla and mine is doing the same thing. I bleed it, then prime and i'ts fine for a few days. It's my understanding that there is some type of vacuum leak, either from the bleeder screw, WIF ( water in fuel sensor) or the petcock. Mine will run for a few days after priming, and once primed it starts right up. Symptoms were it would start then shut off after a few seconds and require priming. Seemed more prevalent after it was cold out. Thinking it's a small pinhole in the fule filter up top, or the bleeder oring shrinking when its cold causing the vacuum leak.....

It seems that if it were not a fuel issue,priming would not solve the problem as it does now...
