Cold weather and diesel advice
So just picked up a new 2019 3500 SRW diesel on Friday. I grew up around cars, my dad is a GM mechanic, but know nothing about diesels. Does anyone have any advice as far as fuel treatments for sum...

This is most definitely false.
In the upper Midwest US, many fuel stations offer both #1 and #2 diesel in the winter. The #2 is not treated for cold temperatures. Some stations are high class and have blender pumps where you can choose what % of each you want. Most you need to blend your own. If the station only has 1 pump labeled diesel, it is likely winter fuel to some extent.
You don’t have to worry about getting untreated fuel on a day like today. At -35F it simply will not come out of the pump!
