6.0 fuel issue
ok, heres my problem , its snowed over night and it was around -9 at 5am. she was pluged in. started fine and let it idle till it was at op. temp. i hit the highway and baout 15 mins ito my trip she started acting very odd. she wouldnt go over 40 mph, started to shack violently and loss rpms. i pulled over and put in in (N) and she would idle but man, it was rough. 5 mins of that she die. was a hard start but start and idle rough. i figured it gelled, i have anit gell in it anyways so i didnt think it was the cause. i had it tested and one injector was miss firing. replaced it, and still continues. i blew out the lines and had recently changed the fuel filters, and after the injector replacement, i replcated them anyways, still same issue. after she starts and gice it throtle shes fine as if nothing hapen. take my foot off the pedal and acts like crap. im lost

Have you checked for DTC's? You can have pending codes without a check engine light. My guess is a dead injector, you would be amazed at how bad it will run with one bad injector

You perfectly describe what happens when fuel gells up and flow gets restricted through the primary filter. Diesel 911 will liquefy the gelled fuel and an anti-gel additive should prevent future gelling.
The diesel fuel we have in NW CT seems to gell easily. Even though fuel sold is supposed to be treated for cold conditions, there is no way to know for sure.
If your truck continues to act like you described, pull the primary (frame mounted) fuel filter and inspect it. If it is full of jelly, you know for sure what the problem is.

After 10-15 minutes of idle combustion gasses will fill the fuel rail and start killing adjacent cylinders. I had one recently on a truck and it ended up being a pintle inside one injector not sealing.
Pull the secondary filter and crank the engine using the starter solenoid wire near the cowl/ fender well on the passenger side. While cranking, watch for bubbles coming up from the bottom of the resevoir.
I hope this is clear.
