Minnesota sub zero temps, engine wouldn't start after sitting a few hours yesterday.
Truck sat overnight in cold. Pushed it into garage and it thawed for five hours. Now it started without me doing anything to it and has been running for ten minutes.
If this was you, would you be comfortable hauling freight to Georgia as is?

It sounds like ice in the fuel filter, no? Change the filters and drive toward the warm temps. I would not shut the truck off in sub-zero temps.

Any time you gel up put new filters on. They cause a wax build up which isn't gonna go away.
