Default truck doesnt want to start now

i got a s-maxx last year and replaced the 2.5 with a 3.3 and it's sat for a while, i got to start earlier in the year. i let it run for a while then thinking it was ok i put it back up for about 2 weeks. now when i go to start it, it turns over a few times then it freezes. kinda like what a new one does. i dont think its flooded or anything. ive tried changing glow plugs. its not the starter wand or battery. when i take the glow plug out and turn it over no gas comes out of the cylinder. i think that covers it.

Have you tried heating the motor up with a heat gun? Makes starting a whole lot easier.

You might want to get some after run oil as it sounds like it might have gummed up a little.
also is it getting fuel? the fuel could have evaporated in the fuel line, and clogged it
