Truck Won't Start!

Keystoneforum...we have a problem. Without chill factor, went down to -5F last night and currently +2F here in the Poconos of PA. Went out to start my Silverado Duramax. It started, ran for about 30 seconds (very roughly), I heard a whine that seemed to be coming from the area of the fuel tank, then the truck shut down. Got a message on the DIC "reduced engine power". Started it up again a few times...same result but shutting down after just a few seconds each time.

It's parked in the driveway, not garaged.

Appears that the fuel has gelled and not flowing throw the system. Not sure that is the case. Going up to just +18F today, +27F tomorrow, and finally getting above freezing on Tuesday getting to 37F. I have never used any anti-gel additive.

Any suggestions to get me through this dilemma?

Thanks,
Mike
