Do the cleaning process at the top of the 6.0 page. I'll bet it's nice and rusty if it's been sitting for 5 months. If they sit for a week installed on the truck they start rusting up.

It might be worth checking your glow plugs and glow plug relays out.

Try plugging the truck in over night and starting it again in the morning and see if the problem is the same/better/worse.
