Where is the fuel filter heater there is a price under my fuel filter that doesn't quiet look right... It's hard to describe but any one who has looked under the filter with the Noel drained should not exactly what I'm talking about

Did some research on the fuel filter heater and I'm 99% sure going off memory the wire to the element is not there at the time it didn't ring a bell because I didn't know what I was looking at being that I'm new to diesels... So not seeing a wire didn't rung a bell... Oh man I hope that's it
Would that cause my symptoms? From what I gather yes...

Try that on a powerstroke with a functioning glow plug system and see how that works out for you...

If the glow plug relay doesn't fix it then it could be your IDM relay

If your fuel heater is not working, your truck will still run fine. If the fuel heater is shorting it will blow a 30 amp fuse, fuse 20A behind your air filter and your truck will crank strong but not start.

Try it on the 6.9 as well if the glow plugs are working. Stand back and be careful...
