When the truck is so cold that it will barely turn over, you plug it in. 
Picked up my truck from the dealer yesterday from getting the door locks fixed (burned out actuators). Only took 3 hours to get it started, after trying to jump/charge it for 2 hours, then a trip to CostCo to exchange my dead dead dead 4 month old batteries (yes, plural, two 1000CCA batteries) for a set of new ones. Seems one of them had to of been bad. We had two of those super big jump box charger things on the truck set to jump start mode (225 amps each) and it wouldn't even turn over. It barely had enough power to roll my window up as we were pushing it back out of the shop (pushed it in to charge, pushed it out when I went to Costco cause the guys were leaving soon).

I just put two new Optima Red tops in last weekend to the tune of $320.

Man, that sucks. Might want to try cycling the glow plugs a few times, that usually helps mine.

Nice I am trying to figure out which direction I am going to go with my truck as far as appearance mods. The truck already has a chrome brush guard and chrome steps but I am not sure if I want to change them to black yet or not. I have made up my mind that I am going put a leveling kit on this truck I just cant stand the factory rake that this truck has.

From reading back, I deduced a couple of things. One, I'm thankful my ancestors were smart enough to migrate to Texas where the weather is decent, and I am glad i did not buy a diesel! 
Oh, I also deduced that when I got my haircut, had a gotten a pedicure I would have frlt marvelous!
