I was just wondering if there is any problems with running twins when it gets to -40 or colder outside? Would it be wise to insulate the drain line from the big turbo to the oil pan? Anything else that should be done? Thanks.

That would not be a bad idea, but I am not sure how much of a problem it would really be.

If you are that cold, I am assuming that you are using some sort of synthetic oil, and are NOT letting the truck cold soak, then starting it without being plugged in. I would think a synthetic should drain down pretty quickly.
