Most likely you have a shorted glow plug. First unplug all 8 leads and energize the start cycle which activates the timer box. If you blow a fuse now its the timer box thats shorted.

Then connect 1 or 2 leads at a time until you blow the fuse. You can unplug 1 of the last 2 to isolate the bad glowplug. Using the wire leads will keep you from having to remove every glowplug from the heads.

Check your ground wires to the timer box because the timer only cycles for the initial start. Also as the weather gets colder the timer can work longer but not indefinitely. That can be another reason for the fuse to blow.

2000 f350 diesel has a cold start problem i changed glow plugs did not solve the problem

There should be a delay (hold off) until the glow plugs have done theirwarm up thing. Usually a minute oe so. Don't immediately crank the engine. give it about 30 seconds in the on position before cranking.
The glow plugs are like the coils on an electric stove. The heat up is not instant alrhough a little faster.

2004 diesel hard to start when cold

It sounds more like the glow plugs, the older models had trouble out of the module, but the 6.0 is pretty safe from all those problems. And don't forget to use the correct fuel additive for diesel engines, it helps .
