What fuel additive?

I dont know what brand off hand I use, but I went to go and leave work tonight and the truck would not start and I mixed the fuel additive like they said on the bottle. I think it is the fuel for sure, cranks over easy but it just wouldn't fire up.

Sounds like batteries to me, even if it cranks fine the computer may not be seeing enough voltage to fire the injectors, try charging it for awhile and see what happens...

Might be a glow plug problem. Try plugging in the block heater for a couple of hours to see if it starts.
