Going to Alaska, need cold weather diesel tips please..

Hey all. A good friend of mine is moving to Alaska from New Mexico and he has a 2000 Duramax diesel 4x4. What tips do you cold weather guys have that i can pass on to him. Also any product recommendations would be great. I may be moving there as well and will use these tips for my cummins. thanks guys!

example...synthetics? sometype of fuel warmer? extra heaters?
