Engine Block Heater

You don’t have to but it will start, run and warm up better if you do.

 

Fair point, though I usually run the truck anyway to warm up for the 10 minutes I have to spend shovelling my driveway and clearing snow off the truck

 

Ok so I'm going to be storing my truck for a little bit while I go on vacation. Before I leave I'm changing my oil to 0w30 or 5w30, adding a fuel additive to get rid of water, and putting a trickle charger on my battery so I don't come back to a dead battery

 

Must be nice to go for that long of a vacation .

I am lucky to see a 4 day weekend a few times a year

 

that really sucks I take ten days every three months but then I go a month without pay due to our bi weekly pay

 

Same for me in Montana, I use Mobil 1 0W-30 and fires up even at -20 no problem.
