well you got it covered but in your truck i wouldnt worry becuase it is designed for ulsd so if you get below freezing for a long time than a additive would benefit you

I would recommend Power service fuel additive. It contains more ctane than the competitors and provides more lubructation. every tank is a must with this low sulphur fuel. See what most peeps dont realize is that the old fuel contained sulphur for 2 reasons. 1 is for part lubricaiton but 2 the biggest part is for water displacement. the sulphur grabs the fuel and bonds to disperse and burn it without harm. the new fuel dont have as much and that is why peeps in over the road and pass rigs are having injection problems. Power service breaks apart water on a molecular level, making it seem invisible at the injector, and replaces all lost ctane (octane in gas) then boosts it by 6. also takes the gel point down to like -40. I have taken a class on power service and actually am a distributer for it, best part is it is not overly priced like some. in this day and age that is real important. Every tank brother.
