If home, I'd plug in block heater, if on road, I'd keep the APU running. From what I have heard cold starts don't damage engine as long as you let it idle to warmth. (not operating temp, but warmer then -20) Reeving it could break something.

Looks allot like casket bunting. The guy in the pine box probably won't miss it. Good idea.

-10F is nothing. If it wouldn't have started in -10F it's not worthy a life.
It's when temperatures drop below -30F things start to happen. When you loose up to 80% of the battery capacity you have when it's 50F, oil is like sirup and so on. It's a hell just to get the starter motor to turn . It's then it shows what works and what's just crapMr. Mack Thanks this.
