Bad morning with 06 PSD

[AWGunS]

Had a little problem this morning with my 06 F250.

Had it plugged in all night (since 6PM Monday). Started fine, heated up quickly, and ran fine. Pulled up to a stop light about a 1.5 miles from my house, and it started running rough. Made my turn, and it got worse. No power, missing badly. I was able to drive about 20-25 MPH max. Came to a small hill, and half way up, it stalled dead. I tried twice to restart it, with no luck. Let it sit for a few minutes, trying to decide what I was going to do, and restarted it. It started, but continued to run terribly. I got another 4 miles up the road, and pulled over to let a truck pass. I sat and let it idle for a couple minutes, took off, and it eventually cleared up and ran fine the rest of the way to work.

It was about 3 degrees this morning. Yesterday it was even colder.

Figuring it was a fuel problem, I called the dealer to get thier opinion. They said since it was under warrany, and had low mileage (1600), bring it in and they would check it out. Mentioned something about reflashing it?

Don't know much about a diesel fuel system, so i am thinking it was a little water/ice in the lines? Or maybe some jelling? I run Diesel Kleen additive. It had about 3/8 tank of fuel.

Any thoughts on what it might have been?

From what they tell me in cold weather the dealer will do the reflashing what it does is when you shut it down it will recycle the injectors.you will here a buzz after shutdown for a few seconds.Hope this helps
