here's a simple way of doing it.
take a screwdriver and cross the relay terminals, the relay is located on the passenger side of the motor on top under the powerstroke cover. if you cross it for about 10 seconds and crank it over and it starts, your relay is bad.
post what you find, ill garuntee its the relay.

I've had the same problem with my 7.3. Changed the GPR and GP's and it still did it. I've been told it's the nature of a 7.3 to not like it in the cold weather. Single digits to 20's for weeks at a time is what I'm dealing with. Since you're in Fla, I'd guess GPR too.
My resolution.... a shot of starting fluid ( always keep a can with you ). Starts every time no matter what the temp. It does need to stay plugged in though when that cold.
