The more recent reflashes help out on this problem. Most times in cold weather its the O2 sensors out of span and cause DTC's to be set. Even before I went Blacktec, I never had cold weather idling problems.

I had the PTO high idle system enabled so that when it is very cold mine can be idled up to 2000 rpm and this eliminates a lot of this problem. 1200 is too low in -20 to -45 degree weather to keep the heat in and I have a cat tarp over the entire rad for heat retention.

Run the exhaust brake all the time to help it warm up and keep the turbo from sticking. Its helped with mine...
