Good batteries are the key. I have 2 1125 CCA tractor batteries in a 813 and with the intake heater working properly, it starts every time. I am looking into a good block heater to ease the process. Any suggestions?

Spartan,
Buy a lottery tcket. When you win you can buy two humvees. . Seriously, a decent humvees it way to expensive, especialy for someone in high school. Buy a house first. But if you really want a MV to wrench on and play with get a truck. M35 or a M923. They can be had for well under...
Steve,
Welcome from the Commonwealth of Kentucky . As soon as you start that truck you're in trouble. It (the addition) won't stop there. Next will be a 105 to tow around ,then a generator, then another truck. You've been warned.
Have fun, lots of good folks full of good info here.

Most likely the low pressure switch. The cold made something contract and break the short. It will most likely come back. Easy to T/shoot, easy to fix.
First pic is the engine data plate, second pic is the data plate that is considered the VIN number. That is the number that will be recognized by your insurance co. and DMV. Oh by the way; FIL?
Cut out the section and splice a new section in with compression fittings, or if access is available cut the line and install a union (bulkhead fitting) w/ compression fittings. Fuel pressure will not be an issue. Quick field repair is hose clamps and rubber hose.
Secure ASAP. I am a true believer of "Murphy's Law" , if you leave the truck you open yourself up to all kinds of "oh Shxt, what happened"?
Congrats on you new truck. -plus you can work on it sooner.

Oh man, winch and a hard top available too. You got yourself a potential project. Get the paperwork straightened out and
you'll have a nice truck to play with. Keep us posted.
