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...

It seems odd that we are getting advice for how to operate diesels in cold weather from people that live in Portland and Arizona.
I used to live in Wyoming. We used diesel No. 1. That is the only fuel available in the No Rockies in winter.
maybe in wyoming, but we head to montana and idaho in the winter and #1 diesel is rarely at the pumps. #2 winter blend, even when we've been in the -30F and no problems. Stations in the farm country co ops often do have #1 pumps year round, but often those pumps are over by the off road diesel only.
And #1 is often either recomended for only adding a small % to #2 or strong wording to avoid using at all. #1 has very poor lubricity
