What causes a 5.9 liter diesel to turn over multiple times before it cranks when it is cold?

A diesel engine uses the heat of compressing air to ignite the fuel instead of a spark plug like a gas engine. When it is cold it takes a bit to get enough heat to get it to fire. Ford diesels use a glow plug to heat the air when cold starting, but on a Cummins they don't use them. A simple block heater should make it easier to start when it is cold.

How do you prime a 1987 Ford F-250 diesel engine that has run out of diesel It just cranks cranks cranks.....?
I would add fuel to the tank, and then use the fuel pump relay to prime the system. Good luck. add fuel to your fuel filter and put it back on and should start. On older diesel engines dont worry about the fuel pump relay. Add clean fresh fuel to the filter and hold the pedal to the floor while cranking and it should start.(release pedal when it starts)
