Ch11, I read your post in the SD forum. from what I understand you'll have to park your truck for a few weeks at a time with out it running? Some things to consider are will it be way cold for weeks at a time? Is there any chance that someone could be trusted to start your truck maaybe every few days for you if cold weather is a real concern? Also those grill fronts aren't a bad option either. But MLB and TT both have great ideas and suggestions. I am impressed with my "Astro Start" remote vehicle starter. There are plenty of makes out there. Mine will start the truck at pre-programmed temps and run for preset times. Living in SouthCentral Alaska we don't see extremely cold temps for that long of a period. Occasionaly a week straight of below 0 degrees, but never for weeks in a row. Day temps run about 20 or so and I run the same weight oil all year, though I am considering synthetic at my next oil change.
