Default 03- F250 7.3 Diesel hard to start on cold weather
Just started happening (as weather got cold), truck is hard to start, even after I wait for the glow plug light to go off. Noticed a nice from under the dash while the glow plug is "heating up" and also noticed a huge white cloud from the exhaust pipe. Once it starts i have no problems or lack of power.Any thoughts?

Sounds like you might have a few glow plugs that are not working and may need to be replaced.
