How cold did it get last night ?? Can't see the fuel gelling overnight, even if it was summer diesel.

I doubt it was summer fuel. I have about 4000 litres of summer fuel on hand that I plan on using in my tractors and pick up this winter. Never had an issue as long as I’m running Howes Conditioner

Check the fuel filter.

running the old ford, the only place i have ever had trouble with fuel has been at ufa, they like to make money by selling us water in there diesel. i have only had it happen a handful of times and always on a fill up at colder than -25, poured in lots of conditioner, and after a short rough idle it clears up,
looks like they are back to there old ways early this year!!!

Most stations have switched over to winter fuel a couple weeks ago, normally by the end of October its all winter fuel, sounds more like you got water or crap when you filled up.
I have an 06 duramax and it has never had a drop of fuel through it without fuel conditioner, 100 ml per tank in the summer and about 200 ml per tank in the winter at about 1/2 cent a liter treated its cheep insurance, plus the additives help keep the injectors clean.
Anyway that's my 2 cents worth, just for the record I use kleen-flo

Buddy has an 04 (but the same LLY engine as the 05) and his started like crap below 0 until he got a new glowplug control module.
I had two 06 Duramax trucks, both would start with no issue at -20 if need be, not plugged in. One even had bad injectors and would start fine (albeit it’d run like crap).

Anyway to test the module before I test every plug?

How cold is it up there anyway?
My 2011 Duramax has started at -30 without being plugged in.

Iirc if the module pooched, none will work and it'll be fairly obvious. A good scan tool should tell you which glow plugs are shot if that's the issue.

I have a scan tool but I believe it requires codes to tell me anything, which I do not have.

Sounds like a glow plug module. Mine went out and my Duramax wouldn’t start when it was below zero. I’ve always ran UFA fuel and never had an issue with it
