I've had my diesel truck for a while now but never experienced weather like this. Should I plug the truck in during this freezing weather that we are having? Thanks.

To add onto this I was told that all of the newer diesels have heating element in them, the money you pay for the "option" to have a heater is the propretary plug on one end of the cord. You can go down to the dealership and purchase a cord.
Figured this info might help some folks out, not trying to derail your thread.

Not sure if I am doing things right but I moved up north this fall and I drive a ‘14 F-250. I asked this same question to others up here and I got replies all over the spectrum. Some said to plug in below 36 and others said they never plug in, just add anti gel additive.
I work early and have started my truck without issues so far by just adding anti gel when I fill up. It’s been down to 0 a couple nights. Hope this helps.

You'll be fine. I just got back from a month in Wyoming and had a streak of single digit weather up there early on. My 2016 Cummins remote started fine through the window of the nice warm house. I didn't add anything or do anything different. Same last few years, couple weeks at a time in single digits. Yall will be fine for a few days.Last edited by justletmein; 02-12-2021, 02:27 PM.
