Before you waste any more time get the compressions checked.
Healthy motor should show 350 plus psi.
If it is close to 300 psi or lower, you will need faster engine cranking to get her started in the cold. Most diesels will start if cranking speed is better than 300 rpm as long as the engine is showing over 300 psi compression pressure.
ALL the glows must heat up for a successful cold morning start on any diesel with G/P's.
Alternatively....Living AND working at the top of a hill will help !
