I'm considering the Ecodiesel for my build. From what I understand modern diesels are not much trouble in extreme cold anymore. I'd make sure to use a cold weather additive in my tank with each fill up and plug in the block heater when things get extreme. The truck would be garaged but it's not uncommon to see -10 to -25ºF temps here overnight in winter.
1. What are the errors in my above thinking?
2. What is the workaround when on the road? It would not be inconceivable that I'd be at a hotel here in the upper midwest and wake up to -25ºF and NEED my truck to run. In that case I'd have no garage and no plug for a block heater. Is that a problem? What does everyone use for a workaround in that kind of situation?
