Winter drivetrain preperation DTA360

Im not too familiar with diesel trucks, so if there is any special care needed to be done to them before they sit all winter let me know. We have a DTA 360 with a 5-speed manual spicer transmission.

Check your antifreeze.
If you are not going to run it for the winter that should do it.
Maybe some mouse food here and there.

Top off the fuel to avoid condensation forming in the tank. Keep your batteries charged so they don't get discharged and freeze. I charge mine once a month in the winter.

Do you plan on running in the winter or not?
