I've never plugged my 03 Chevy Duramax in. I run 5W40 synthetic oil in it and no additives just blended fuel. Coldest I've started it was -18 so far. I just start it up and if its below 30 I let it idle 2 or 3 minutes then take off. Letting a modern diesel idle cold is very hard on it, low oil flow to the top part of the motor. These newer truck engines are alot differant than the older tractor diesel's, the oiling system is much improved and they have heated fuel filters and the glow plugs cycle automatically until the engine warms up. I guess I would recommend getting your dakota fixxed as sone as possible as a 10 minute drive twice a day in cold weather is much harder an a diesel than a gas.
