Truck geling up

With that much treatment in the tank theres no way its gelling How do you know its gelling up? Whats the truck doing? If it is gelling did you change the fuel filter and put additive in the filter housing? The filter itself could be froze up with gunk not allowing enough flow... More info please

BTW, 2 degrees isnt even approaching cold. I run my 12V in -30+ temps for a good part of the winter.

You do have a fuel heater. It's connected to the pre-filter. Do as Doc said but also clean out your prefilter. This will give you a chance to check out your fuel heater and make sure it's plugged in.
Fuel Pre-Filter Cleaning on Ram/Cummins - The connector show in the picture is for our fuel heater. I've heard of several people removing them because they leak instead of replacing them with a new part. Yours may be gone.
I don't remember what the heater is supposed to ohm out at though so I can't tell you how to test it. If the circuit is open then you obviously have a bad one.

Well I pulled the fuel filter off man was it nasty. there was water in it and dirt. withthe 911 and diesel fuel. it cranked up ran good for about a 1 min then died. wouldnt crank back. So I took the bleader screw out and tryed to manual put it. and little air then it quit nothing at all. So I thing the little pump went out. I ordered a new one today. so tomorrow we will see if it was the problem. I have had problems before when it gets around 20. when I go to start it I have to give it alittle fuel. but Iam going to clean the whole system tomorrow. yes I did put a new fuel filter. $30.00 dam dollars for a wix. thats high
