dont let big brother catch ya but a little kerosene will keep ur fuel from gellin up. all the fuel companies this far north have a winter blend fuel, but it doesnt hurt to have a little extra protection. plus pluggin your truck in will make the starter's job alot easier. if your gonna start it n let it warm up, use a stick or somethin between the pedal n the seat to bump your idle to about 1200 rpms. me personally, i fold the mirrors in n park the beast in the garage haha.
on a side note im not sure what happened on facebook earlier but my chat just quit workin on me

Other things you can do is switch to a 5W40 or 0W40 synthetic oil. Doing so helps a whole lot.
The best money that you can spend is on an Espar or Webasto hydronic coolant heater. But they are far from cheap.
Also, be sure to regularily empty your water seperator. I had one freeze up when it was minus 30. It was a fun job fixing that.

please, please, please, dont add anything to the fuel except anti gelling fuel additive. if tranny fluid was good for the truck, don't you think that it would be marketed that way? use only approved additives. kerosene isn't a good idea either. it's meant for other things, not fuel. good luck.
