Reddit mentions of Kat's 24150 150 Watt 4"x 5" Engine Oil Pan Heater

I used to use a Kat's heater on my Land Rover oil pan, and it worked great on sub zero mornings.

I suggest a block heater like this.

> however it’s not always possible to warm up, especially when it gets to -35 etc. nothing warms up in that.

Hot Pad Heater ($30.44 USD) + Engine Block Heater ($27.95 USD)

A119 is very popular, goodluck with it, v2 is more stable than v1.

Like PatAunces said, you're battery is probably dead. Hopefully it's not dead dead.

If you have accesses to an outlet here are a couple of items that will make future cold starts easier:

Battery Thermal Wrap
Universal Hot Pad Heater

You could also look into picking up a battery charger that supports trickle charges and leave it on your battery over night.

I have an old SUV that sits outside and only gets driven every other month. I disconnect the battery when I park it. If I don't the battery is dead in less than a week.

Well you say you warm the engine up for 10mins, but that's only the engine, your trans will still be 90% cold (all but little bit of conductive heat from the engine). Do you happen to have a garage? You could get a transmission pan heater (might as well get an oil pan heater too) then you can just set one of those wall timer things, just wire them up so the cords are on the driver's side, and hopefully you have an outlet on the driver's side, then you can just plug them in when you get home and unplug them before you leave. I'd set the timer 2 hours before you leave, and then you could start your truck like 5 minutes before you leave (just so the oil has enough time to go through everything, but the block should be warm anyways, just an extra safety measure i guess). I'd highly recommend doing it.

Mechanical Timer

How about one of these on top? I was thinking this might work.

They make magnetic ones you can just stick on your oil pan and plug it in. https://www.amazon.com/Kats-24150-Watt-Universal-Heater/dp/B000I8TQD6/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1549848405&sr=8-2&keywords=magnet+block+heater

You could take a route similar to mine, you can view my trip log here:

Also, for your water tanks I would suggest maybe getting a heating pad or two? They are designed to heat large tanks or in my case, I use it to heat my oil pan.

Hot Pads

If you're riding in cold/chilly weather, consider a heating pad on the case/oil pan like this:

There are multiple sizes available on Amazon, here's one example . Just stick on the oil pan, and maybe one under your battery.

Bring a can of starting fluid. Powerstrokes hate the cold, even with fully functional glowplugs. If(when) you end up using it, remove the air filter cover and only give the engine a little sniff so the glowplugs don't cause a backfire.

Try to park near an outlet and plug in the block heater every night. Consider getting a magnetic pan heater and putting it on the bottom of your fuel tank.
