So if I understand correctly the truck is running ok and your concerned about re-jelling on your 3hr drive home?

So I had them change the fuel filters and clean MAP sensor ( cleared the tube ). Truck ran perfect rest of the way home. Never had that problem before. I'm guessing the fuel gelled? Technician said the filters looked ok. The heat would not work when it started this morning. He pulled the fuse and put it back in and the module reset and works fine again. Should I be looking for anything else? I'm back in Ithaca

My truck jelled while running down the road in Pa this weekend,I never heard of that happening but it just goes to show ya -11 is cold and can make weird things happen. The diesel tech at the service station said it has to do with the altitude and the cold.Told me they triple up on anti jell up there

Never had that happen before. Wish I had the right allen wrench to bleed filter if that would have made a difference. I had a folding set but wouldn't work cause drive shaft is too close.

Altitude can effect the boiling point but never have I heard of the freezing point.
I would more inclined to just say it's too damm cold.
I think he just made that up.
Here is why. They are talking about water and liquids
Freezing point depression and boiling point elevation: the effects of solutes and of pressure

Now some indirectly related stuff.

I had driven thru a street that was flooded from a water main break and had a lot of ice accumulated under the truck. I had not noticed this at the time. I always add dieselkleen but had not in a couple tanks. after stalling I dumped double the amount but it wasnt till morning before it would start again. It has been ridiculously cold here in the finger-lakes region of NY for the past 4 weeks now. They showed me the ice at the shop and after changing the fuel filters I went to a car wash and got the rest of the ice off. Just never had this happen before and wondering if there is something I could have done to prevent this or if maybe somthing else is going on. Thanks for all the responses.
