Hey don't know where you are at. But up here my bet is on a tank heater,inline with the heater hose.
I useually use a 1500W -50 is cold. Both work but the tank heater is my preference. I used to use a lower radior hose heater when I lived in the lower 48 and it worked fine down to 0 if you left it plugged in all night. At -50 I ususlly plug in about 2 hrs. bfore I want to start up and then have to warm up for 10-15 min. before hitting the road,if I can get it to move due to tranny and rear end oils being solid! One of the best things to use is an oilpan heater pad. Just silicone it to the bottom of the oilpan and down to about -20 with 10/30 oil that is all you need.
Want more info. let me know
