None whatsoever. Of course I plug the block heater in the mornings so the engine's somewhat warm then anyway.

I remember back when I first got the truck I hopped in one frigid morning (almost 0 deg F) and just turned the key without waiting for the wait-to-start light to go off. It was only slightly slower to fire than a normal start.

Lots of guys who mod their trucks for racing take them right out (because of the restriction). From what I've heard most people don't have starting issues without them until the temps get down close to zero. Common rail injection helps a lot with diesel cold starts.
