I don't plug mine in til it gets down below 15, it'll start on the glowplugs without extra heat in the block. I also usually plug it in 2-3 hours before I'm going to start it, don't usually leave it plugged in all night long like some people do. I also switched to 5/40 Synthetic Rotella this year so it's not so hard to start. Every little bit helps.

My Super Duty was a lot more than that and I use to leave it pluged in until the next time I needed to use the truck. I didn't know how mush power they used until a guy with a Cummins swap Chevy told me. He also told me to change the glow plug relay once a year and I'd never have to plug my truck in again. He was right.
