Hmmm, Fuel wont gel at that temp. I have an above ground tank and its been in the 30's and it pumps just fine. I would think the diesel should be good into the teens before any kind of gelling. Does it feel like the trans is slipping or is it engine related and not reving up or lugs?

If it only blows on defrost, you have a vacuum leak.
Check under the hood for a loose vacuum line - like to the heater hose valve (small gray tubing).
Also, vacuum solenoid leaking is common on 4x4's.
Other places to check, but start there.
