I recommend running power service diesel supplement. Gray bottled during warmer months and white during freezing months.

Actually had poured power service in on top of full tank of fuel and drove to work. Warmed truck up before I left work and then she laid down on me. It was -11 yesterday. Thanks for the reply

After mine gelled today- I put a 32 oz bottle (911) in the 6.4L, started it up and it ran but with check engine light. put in some fresh fuel and within a mile the engine light turned off an it seems to be running all happy again. Thank 911 and a 32* rise in temps to 22*F.
