Many things would work better, but difficult to implement in this setup. Easiest would be to keep the block above 50f. Plug in the block heater, but it destroys extension cords unless they are rated for 30amps and plugged into special electrical sockets. Numerous truck fires resulted at the truck end because that plug is only rated for 20 amps and gets hot during use. Best I have come up with is to beat open the frozen door, start it, let it run long enough to come off glowplugs and drive in low low until I get to the main street. Some mornings it gets warm enough to have defrost by then, otherwise I need to drive with a window open. I live in a temperate climate, would hate to live in NODAK.
