Just a thought, but maybe another dealer will have a different perspective.

Yes I should have mentioned that the truck is has a soft plug engine heater, to heat the water. a pad heater on the oil pan to heat the Oil and a another pad heater on the transmission to keep it warm as well as a pad heater on the Batt. to keep it warm. I think the most of my heat is comming from being pluged in (smile). This is normal equipment for Fairbanks Alaska. The truck for the most part does not know how cold it is.
