Not sure how cold it really gets in ND, but when I lived in AK with regular sub zero temps the main thing was preheaters, on older (7.3) powerstrokes an oil heater in particular, not really a big deal the its just a 110V pad heater you silicon to the sump of the pan, and make sure you have a block heater and that it works, should be a 110V cord tucked away behind the bumper on the right side, and you may want a battery blanket heater or trickle charger though I got away without one. Oh and you'll want to run synthetic lube in the diffs, and probably a 60/40 coolant mixture. I wouldn't worry much about gelling fuel, stations add additives or switch to straight number 1 diesel in the winter.
