Prepare your truck for winter with our diesel winterization checklist. This checklist will help you keep your truck at peak performance, even in cold weather.
Diesel vehicles are usually more fuel-efficient than their gasoline counterparts. Diesel trucks provide massive amounts of torque and impressive towing capabilities. But due to the chemical makeup of diesel fuel (it contains paraffin, a natural petroleum-based wax), it can easily gel at temperatures below 32 degrees Fahrenheit.

Be alert. Be aware. Most of all, be prepared.
