I use Howes in both my S.D. and Peterbilt. Never had a problem with freezing . I use it in the summer too as it helps lubricate the injectors. A 1.5 litre bottle cost me $12 and lasts about 10 fill-ups.If you are not using it right now and want too I suggest putting in about half a bottle in now and then about a cupfull everytime yuo fill up.
