Cold Weather Issues

I have a 2005 F350 that I have had for three years with no problems at all. As soon as it got cold this year, I have had nothing but problems. I replaced the starter last week because of hard starting. I have never used fuel conditioner, but after hard starting issues, I was directed to start using diesel911 in my fuel. Yesterday, with temperatures in the teens, the truck would not start. It had been plugged in all night. I assume I over craned on the starter and not the motor barely turns over, even after having the batteries charged over night. I had the computer scanned and it is throwing the cylinder injector circuit low on all 8 cylinders. I have had no issues with the truck prior to this. Does anyone have any suggestions on where to go from here?

Your FICM is bad.

Make sure your alternator is healthy and batteries load test properly also. Bad batteries and /or bad charging system can and does kill the 6.0L FICM's.

also diesel 911 is just for ungelling a already gelled up system. i do not think that it is for using as a anti gel supplement. white bottle powerservice is the winter supplement for preventing anti-gel.
