Cold Weather Question

[trick1995]

Hello All....Still a newbie here and to the powerstroke world. I have a 2006 6.0, and my question involes cold weather...I live in florida, so cold weather is a little new to me. We are traveling up to Boone, NC in Feb. for a 4 day vacation, and I was wondering if I need to do anything or add anything to the fuel or oil before we go. Any suggestions would be great. Thanks

I don't believe it gets that cold there to worry about. Maybe someone from NC will post more.

Just add power service or something equivalent w an anti gel. Its cold in boone but not as cold as you think. You'll be fine.

As far as oil goes....ive run rotella 15/40 up there several years and had no issues.

If you'll just be in North Carolina, you shouldn't have to do anything.

The lows at night right now are in the upper 30s to low 40s

I guess if you felt compelled, you could add some anti-gel stuff but it's not imperative.

Thank you guys for the replies...Maybe Ill bring some anti gel just in case they get a freak snow storm or something in the mountains

carry a cetain 911 with you, but lows in the 30's try 1-5 as lows then try to start it...

Being a Florida boy, my truck would probably start before I would in that kind of weather
