loses power on acceleration

We have a 2001 Ford F350 diesel. We are in SD and it has been consistently below zero for the last month. On one particularly cold day, the truck seemed to lose power on acceleration. Thought it gelled - added diesel 911. Changed the fuel filter. It will now start perfect, idles fine, then you try to drive it and it loses power again on acceleration. We have a Pyrometer gauge and it shows very high on acceleration. It is being kept in our garage (un heated, unfortunately) and it is plugged in constantly. It isn't warm necessarily in our garage, but warmer than outside. Any other ideas on what could be wrong? Should we try a space heater to see if it is still partially gelled? Like I said, it starts fine and idles absolutely fine. Driving is the issue..unfortunately, it does us no good just idling. Thanks very much for any assistance!!!!
