Robert,

I went through a lot of winters in Maine and Upstate NY with the diesels in my sig. I got by just fine with a lower radiator hose heater in each of them. I had an inside switch for an outdoor receptacle, and even on the coldest nights, I'd turn it on when I first got up, and the engine would fire up smoke free an hour or so later. The heater was sending out warm air before I got to the road. They were about $15, if I remember correctly, not too difficult to install, and seemed to last about three years.
