Block heaters & the best battery you can buy are important.
Don't forget a battery blanket and/or maintenance trickle charger!
bender; Top of the morning to you sir, I hope this finds you and your fine family well.
A good friend who now resides in Whitehorse used to live in Dawson City and did a daily commute up to a mine 90 odd miles north of town. I should mention he's an industrial electrician by trade.
Anyway in his old '90's Cummins he had a battery blanket on each battery, the stock block heater and some sort of oil pan heater hooked up too.
I asked about power consumption on the setup and he replied, "Oh yah Dwayne, the lights of town go dim when I plug her in, but it's the only way she'll start!"
