That hasn't been a problem for awhile. 2% biodiesel fixed that. Any diesel over 2% bio is just icing on the lubricant cake. However, the more biodiesel, the more potential for water to appear. Fortunately, fuel filters can tie up the water just fine.

Being a diesel mechanic I can say this, if you have a diesel and you are in very cold weather you must stay on your toes, you have to religiously monitor your fuel or you will gel it up. And frankly I prefer a gas engine in cold weather, they start easier for one thing and the torque band is better suited for icy roads.
But if I had to haul any real weight the diesel is the only way to go, the Fords are arguably on top of the game with GM behind and stumbling. I love Cummins engines but I totally despise the Dodge frame, electrical and driveline, the Chinese can make better knockoffs.
