How's your truck holding up in this cold?

AM starts are just a little rough, fluids are all <0*F.

One of my TPMS sensors is throwing an error but starts working again after ~30 mins driving.

Leaving a fob in the truck overnight is a mistake. Won't even start holding it against the start button. Have to warm it in your armpit for 5 mins.

Power running boards...forget it.

Other than that doing OK.
 
No issues whatsoever.
It sat Saturday through Wednesday covered in sleet and ice. Started right up and drove to the gym
 
Mine spends it's nights in a heated garage so no issues in morning. Afternoons I have been using remote start through the app and it's always running when I get there. I do think I have another cracked exhaust manifold. But that will wait for warmer weather to diagnose.

Also when it's below 0 outside I get a clunk that sounds like it's coming from the front . Happens when you get on the gas, and let off quickly. I can make it happen at most speeds but the faster I'm driving the less noticeable it is. I've climbed underneath in my garage and could find anything loose on front suspension, drive shafts, or exhaust.
 
No issues. Although we are having record highs, I took it out in the morning when it was still in the 50's.
 
No issues other than the MFT tailgate won’t lower. Barn door opening is fine. Maybe not a cold problem though. Less than 500 miles on the vehicle. Fuses are fine and I can hear an electronic sound when I actuate the release handle but cannot hear anything at the handle itself. Having a tailgate that cannot open without an electric actuator is beyond bonkers to me. But, on a positive note, the truck fires right up in -10F without any problems. No air bag issues to speak of either. Knock on wood
 
When it’s in the teens, I get a pulley whine for about 2-3 secs then gone. And the driver side exhaust manifold has cracked. I’m blaming the damn cold lol.

I feel like I heard a little manifold noise after work, the day it was -10. Haven’t heard it since tho, not sure what it was.
