Without getting into great details , one of the most important things to check is the condition of the oil. The injectors require good oil pressure to fire. You might check the level of the oil in the reservoir at the front of the engine. If it is empty try adding oil to it to fill it then replace the plug.Is it very cold where you have the truck? If so , you should be using 10W30 oil in it.
Also are you sure the glow plugs are getting power to operate? Check if the glow plug relay is working to provide power to the glow plugs when cold and for starting.
