Truck just sitting?

Our truck is not a daily driver...I ride my bike to work. The truck can sit for weeks at a time all year long.
I have never used any diesel fuel treatment. Fuel at the pump is blended for the proper season already.
Truck starts right up and goes.
No worries...

X2. My truck is for hauling the camper, the occasional home project and foul weather 4x4. Sitting for 4-6 weeks or more is not uncommon though I start to get nervous around 6 weeks and try to take the truck for a drive just to keep parts lubricated, not just engine but drive train. Even so I still usually use a couple tanks/year so the age of the diesel isn't a concern. A battery tender helps. I have a small solar powered one in the window of the garage plugged into the cigarette lighter socket that keeps me topped off. Also, when I do give the truck a lube drive I make it long enough that allows the engine to get up to temperature to get rid of any condensation inside the block. Then it's back into the garage until I need it again.
