On my 1995 7.3 I know the glow plugs are bad so when it's below 40 degs. I plug it in and it starts with no problem. If I should forget to plug it in and it's say 30 degs. I hit the starter for 2 seconds and if doesn't start, I turn the key off and back on and wait 30 seconds. Then I give it just a little throttle and try again. Doesn't start, so I wait another minute or so, then repeat the same. Sometimes it takes 3 or 4 times of doing this but it finally starts. You will see some smoke from under the hood and exhaust. My mechanic told me NEVER to crank and crank on the starter. If it doesn't start in 2 or 3 seconds of cranking, WAIT. With his advice my starter lasted from 95 to 2012 because I have never cranked it for more than 3 seconds. In the summer it's not a problem, will start right up once the wait light goes out.
