2001 starting problem

Went to start my 2001 5.9 24v the other day. It was a cold morning and I may have rushed starting it a little. But when I truned it over the truck fired but didnt stay running. After that my truck is now turning over and nothing. Anyone with any ideas on what I should look at. Bumped the started and I hear the pump start, but nothing other then that

probably gelled fuel....did you use some anti-gell additive last time you filled up?

No actually I have owned the truck since new and never had a problem and it has been through much colder weather.

you may have gotten a bad batch of fuel that would be prone to gelling easily..or have frozen water in your fuel lines...I would suggest getting Power Service 911 , change your fuel filter. See if that helps...or get it to a garage where it can all thaw out.

I have never had a problem starting my truck in cold weather, I rarely plug it in and always use anti-gell additive.
