You can take some of the stress off by using an engine block heater.

An engine block heater plugs directly into your vehicle to keep engine components and fluids warm when it’s not being used.

General Motors is recalling more than 331,000 diesel pickup trucks in the U.S. for a second time because the engine block heater cords can short circuit and cause fires.

GM says in documents posted Thursday by U.S. safety regulators that shorts can develop in the heater cord or terminals that connect the cable to the block heater.

Coolant can leak from the block heater and come in contact with the cable terminals, possibly causing a fire.
