Rough idle 6.0ltr

I bought a new 6.0ltr on the 20th of Dec it has worked fine but since it has cooled down to -20c it idles rough and smokes at an idle. Any body else have this problem.

Rough idle 6.0ltr

It is a fairly common problem. Our people are working on it but if you ask me they're barking up the wrong tree. They think there is air trapped in the high pressure oil system and they're trying to get the air out at the prime station at the factory. I don't pretend to know what the problem is but 20 or 30 miles of interstate driving should expel all the air from the system. How many miles has your truck got on it?
