Wondering if I should run my truck all night in negative temps or just plug it in and deal with the cold leaks and such? And if I should idle at what rpm is ideal?
Run the truck all night in negative temps or plug it in?

If you keep the engine on, make sure you kick up the idle.

I'd let it run. Kick the idle up.

Depends on how confident you are in your fuel. Plugging the block heater in won’t do much to help if your fuel is bad and your filters plug up.

I’d shut it off, plug it in. Any cold leaks, lets you know if a clamps loose. Shouldn’t get any if you have constant tension type clamps. Unless it’s a brand new Truck. Silicone hoses only. Any other cold leaks are a problem.
