Hi guys. I live around Cleveland , OH and have a 01 Ford f350 7.3 diesel. I use my truck to haul my 30 ft. boat back and forth to Lake Erie from storage and my daughter uses it to tow my 5th wheel camper to dog shows around the great lakes. I've owned the truck for 13 years and have never had a problem until last year. It doesn't have a block heater, but I have been able to start it regularly. Last winter I had trouble starting it so I took it to a local shop, who changed batteries, starter, and alternator. It seemed to be ok, till I tried to start it a month ago, around x-mas. I have changed filters, fluids, regularly, the truck has 102k miles on it. Now I'm having start problems again. I've seen Bill's video's and I'm impressed. Does anyone know of a shop in Ohio? It is cold and here and I don't have a lift available

Does it not start at all or starts when the air temperature is warmer? Does it run good once the engine warms up?

I don't see you mention Glow Plugs (GP) anywhere.

Have you replaced or tested your GPs or GPR (Relay) ?

After all these years and miles your original parts have very likely failed.
