Default Chip Problems and Cold Weather

I have been running this chip since September with stock, hi idle, 40HP tow, 60HP tow, 80HP dd, and 100HP performance tunes. I like the shift points and the economy seems good but it definitely docent make as much power as my old DP tuner. When I tow my 5th wheel it seems to be a about 5% to 10% slower on the hills. What makes things worse is now that the weather has gotten cooler if it sits all night and is below 45 degrees my truck romps and shakes and wont hardly start. If I leave the block heater plugged in it starts fine. I'm at a loss and about to pull the chip out so i drive my truck without these issues.

I have been getting some help from Brad the last couple of days, he gave me a few suggestions and I tried a few cold starts with the chip removed and the truck started fine. I re-installed the chip on Friday and tried to start it Saturday morning, it was 30 degrees out and the truck started with no issues, I tried it again today at 35 degrees and it took right off. I have been driving it today and it seems to be running real good. I must of had a poor connection, for now I will keep driving it see how thing go, Thanks Brad for your help.
