IF you run out of Safety Brake you can use methanol SPAREINGLY! A very little bit goes a long way as it will dry out the rubbers and take out the diaphrams, guaranteed.
Use Kleen flo in the fuel according to the manufacturers' instructions.
Read the owners' manual for the truck and engine you are driving. Some say it is O.K. to put on a winter front, others say not to.
Old 318 (8V71) and 671 Detroits at -50F close them right up and pay attention to the water temps. that is the only way to get any heat out of them in the deep cold.
Make sure your shutter stat is working properly IF you have shutters on yer rad. Some of this advice is pretty dated (Old school).
I was stranded once in Kingston, Ontario with a frozen fuel filter in a Mack. It is a good thing she was old. I took the canister type filter apart and threw out the filter. She fired right up once she got fuel and off we went to the steel mill. (I was hauling crushed scrap cars, then.)
