You won't find any sort of heat exchanger on the fuel system of my trucks, and, I deal with some mighty cold temps, if you have good quality fuel and/or good additives, there is no need to heat the fuel.

BTW, thanks for mentioning that, I wasn't aware of any troubles until you said that, then I knew exactly who was in trouble... I happen to be in a position to be able to help out.

I wish I had said something earlier.
She got it going again, but she sure went through the ringer getting it running.
Seems the better half had the keys to almost everything she needed with him, and he was in Nebraska.
He was supposed to be home yesterday I think, and still no word from him.
We were teasing about the fresh dug holes in the yard at her house.

I can still at least read codes to figure out what continues to go on with it. Had I known soon enough, might have been able to save her a tow.. oh well. She lives where I go to class and work, broke down in my territory where I can get the help out. We met up a while back when she first got moved out here, so she knows where to find me... just didn't have contact info to do anything sooner.

Man I wish I had known that earlier, she was still out on the highway when I first saw her 911 help thread.
I did not know you were that close to Cedar Rapids.
Guess this was a duuhh for me.
I have been out plowing to much snow and gotta go out again shortly.
Seems like a nice girl though, even if she did bury Randy out in the yard somewhere for taking all the keys to everything.

Dude, your grammar is worse than mine, and I'm a freakin import! What about DB2s? I have a DB2 (duh), I have no issues running it in the cold, my fuel usually stays comfortably at 20F and below. So come again?

I have the same truck except it is a 1990. I just did a 1500 mile trip though Mexico pulling a 16ft cargo trailer at 7000 lbs. I also had a 11 1/2 foot camper in the bed. The truck did great (except for a fan clutch problem).
The best advice I can give is to have very good trailer brakes.

on the way back i was driving from oklahoma city south to dallas into a 30 to 40 mph head wind, that was every bit as bad as the hills.
I would not even consider taking this rig into a mountainous area.
