My biggest fear is when I die my wife sells all of my fishing tackle for what she thinks I paid for it!

Starting when its cold and some other minor stuff. I had a ton of work done over the last yr. I plow with it so I want it to be set for the winter. I live in Somerset

I don't anyone there. Sorry

The colder it gets the harder it is to start?
Runs rough when it does start and then runs better as it gets up to temp?

the colder it gets the harder to start yes. when its really cold I have to spray it with starter fluid and even sometimes that doesn't work. Yes. rough when it finally does start. Also when trying to start tons of white smoke.

Yup that's it

Check the glow plug relay first, but that's most likely not the problem.
Seen it many times and it's the injectors.

I would not use starting fluid in that engine, you could blow it up.

What year is the truck?

If you have never done it before, about 8 hour job.
