No WTS light
Sat. morn temp low 20's, damp, frost on everything went to start truck (hadn't been started for a couple or three days) turned key on & no WTS. I thought here we go, turned key off & on a couple times still no lite. Could tell GP's lit by batt gauge, so cranked & fired right up. Shut it down & went to start same thing. Cranked up let it run 15-20 mins shut it off & restarted everything worked fine. Drove truck several times over the weekend & everything is fine, WTS lite working as usual. IDK... Was it just a fluke? I didn't touch anything so I'm kind of leery.

Something there makes no sense. If the Glow Plugs are activating (via observation of the battery gauge or by dimmer lights) and the WTS light is not illuminating, I'd almost say there's an issue with the bulb itself. Since the truck itself seems to be functioning properly, I'd not worry too much about it. I would, however, verify the cause of the issue with the WTS light before disregarding it.
How long did it take before the WTS finally did start working? Any idea? Is it repeatable? Let us know so we can try and reach a conclusion. Take care.

That really is an odd situation. The only thing I can think of is that there was a temperature related connection issue between the chip and ECM (which I doubt, because the truck ran fine) or a similar issue with the WTS light. All we can do at this point is see if the situation recurs when it gets cold again and try to determine exactly what's going on.
Keep us posted.

Thanks Bill, I really don't have a clue. The only thing different about Sat morn was the damp & frosty air but I can't see that having that effect, we'll see. Thanks
