I have a 1998 GMC Sierra extended cab 1500. It has a 305 V8. I had just poured in a fuel additive (Sea Foam)and filled up with fuel gas reg. [It has been very cold here ( low teens) for the past week and we have had 15" of snow.] The next day I crank up the truck and drove about 2 miles and the truck goes dead. The engine turns over and wants to crank but doesn't. Could something have frozen in the line or filter? Please help. Thanks, Lee

Check fuel pump pressure and make sure you are getting a good hot blue spark to the engine. To me, it sounds fuel related. The pump may be weak or the fuel filter could be plugged.
