Something else I like is cold start features. Using EB to help the engine warm up faster, the idle up feature. I ordered the cold weather group- grill cover & block heater. The DEF system is supposed to have electric heat, but it only works off the battery when ign is on. Doesn't help much when the truck is off and sits in 12* or lower for long periods of time where it can freeze. I think that the DEF tank should have a heater like the RVs have that heats the tank on 12VDC or 115VAC-when you plug in you you get block and DEF heat. The RV heaters are thermostatically controlled. I think that would be a good deal for the folks in the cold areas. I have my block heater on a timer 2.5hrs every 12 hours, cycling around my work schedule.
