HELP!!-My Ford 550 won't start today. Cold weather

Posted by Andrew H. on December 05, 2004 at 14:59:45 from (66.131.246.241):

OK, I have an old Ford 550 TLB Diesel. I started it up last week no problem. At that time the temperature outside was around 25 degrees F. I used it for about 1 hour. It was sitting outside for the past week-average temperature 20 degrees F to 32 degrees F. Today, it was 20 degrees F outside, I go outside, try to crank the motor, and everything is completely dead. I mean, the starter doesn't make a sound. Very strange. I checked my battery with a multimeter- it reads 12.42 volts. I brought the battery inside to give it a trickle charge on my charger, but I can't figure this one out. Would anyone have any ideas?? Help!!!! Thanks.
