When you say you let it run for 8 hours, do you mean you let it idle for 8 hours, or that you drove it around for 8 hours??? If its still cold outside, Id say you have a gelled fuel filter. I had that problem a few weeks ago with the no power thing.

Edit: Don't know about the codes. You can look in the tech folder...

the 2263 code probably showed up by killing the battery. the other is a contribution code for injector #3.

Idleing for that length of time is not good. It is an ideal way for carbon to build up in your turbo and make your turbo vanes stick.

i bet your egr valve is scary!! not to mention what your oil looks like. do not let the 6.0 idle for that long, as it destroys your pocket as well as the truck in some form.

Thanks guys for the help it was gelled fuel filters. Power service 911 and finally able to get into a warm garage for a while seemed to have solved the problems took it on a 90 mile workout ran like a champ!!!
