As for doors freezing shut, it's usually caused by water freezing the weatherstripping on the door to the truck. Maybe a thin coat of some kind of lubricant that the ice would not stick to as well? I have been meaning to try something for that myself actually.

A fellow in Advanced auto parts heard me talking about this subject. He recommended "Pledge". He said you could try armorall but pledge is cheaper.
On a semi related note, I just got done using a heat gun to defrost my window washers because it seems the fluid that was in there was regular summer time stuff. Yup... I had ti use a heat gun. I started it an let it run for a while but it's so cold out, the engine compartment just wasn't heating up enough. Too bad it's too late for me to ask santa for a car port or something I can enclose!
