Coolant Heater

So I have an 08 F250 diesel pu, I love it. The damn thing is too long to fit in my HEATED garage, so it lives in the driveway. Living in ND close to the CA boarder, the winters get kinda long and cold. I plug the block heater in, use winter fuel, and fuel additive when the temps start to get to zero and below. But it's still cold when it starts, still takes some time to warm up, even with the winter grill cover.

Anyone have any experience using an add on coolant heater like this unit?

I had a truck years ago that had a 120V coolant heater on it. Not a 12V like the one you posted. It worked very well for heat on those cold mornings.
