First driveability glitch.....

Slowing from 40mph to 20 for a school zone. Let off pedal, idled down unusually quietly. Upon exiting the zone it had no power, and lots of white from the exhaust. It was VERY cold out, so I'm not positive if it was excessive or not, but seemd like more than normal. Lasted about 30 seconds, then back to normal. I haven't run any DieselKleen this winter yet, could it be gelling?

You're a braver man than me. I'd get some in there, like ASAP, and see if it does it again. I ran equiptment for many years and when something gelled it took several hours to get it running again, in the FREEZING cold! No fun turning wrenches like that.

Your egr valve stuck open momentarily.

Is the truck still under warranty? If so, I would take it to your local dealer and let them have a look.
