This is not an SD vs MAF nor an OL vs CL problem.

This is an idle problem. Allen can't tune your idle for cold temps properly -- nothing wrong with his skills, but the SA temps don't go low enough... All you need to do to fix this is scan it as already mentioned.

here it gets low 30's. Last year when i went from Reno over the pass into Tahoe a bit colder

I've driven in snow country and high altitude without issue but I could definitely feel a huge power loss at altitude.

SD for a couple years now. Temps range from 0 to 100. No issues. I agree its not SD it's probably in the Idle airflow tables and being wrong for the lower temps.

Yeah, im not ******* his tuning skills. I had no idea I would ever have this truck in temps like this. What do I need to scan this? I dont have a data logger or scan tool or anything.

Humm.. I've now driven mine in 90+ temps and below zero without the MAF AFR is fine. Your tune must not be setup properly.

have them check your fuel pressure.i seen this symtoms before and was the fuel pump and or the the fuel pump hose sucking air.making it load up at idle and then leaning out at wot.
