The control wires are the one I meant. Clarification error on my part.

OK got the New Relays installed and it started great in the shop.

I parked it outside for the night and well see if it starts in the morning. It's supost to get down in the teens tonight so that should be a good test.

Thanks for all the help. I'll let you know how it goes.

I've heard of people doing that too,I can't recall where I read it..but it's a real bad idea with these trucks.
Better to just buy some additive.

It did not start, Its still not fixed.

It was a bout 18degrees out when I tried to start it and it just turned over. It didn't even try to fire.

The Intake heater is working, I checked it and the Intake was warm to the touch.

Double check to make sure the injectors are getting fuel. Could also be the filter bowl is iced up.

I had this problem with my 00 dodge too it turned out to be that I lost the prime to injector 1. 3 and 5 were wet but the truck still wouldnt fire. All I had to do is turn the key and crank for a split second to allow for the 20 second prime I did this about 4 times until I could see that injector 1 had fuel coming out. Tightened injector 1 up and she fired up.
