I have never had a problem with mine. It doesn't usually get much below freezing here, but if it's going to be in the 30's or less I plug it in every night and it fires right up and runs great the next morning. I didn't always do this, the first year I had it I didn't even know it was there because someone had zip tied the plug so far up behind the headlight. That winter sucked. If I didn't drive it every day it didn't want to start, and when it finally did it ran like crap until it warmed up a bit. If it was much below 40 it didn't want to start, if it was below freezing sometimes it wouldn't start at all. I was running the best diesel additive we know of at the time too. Every since I started plugging it in at night, I have had absolutely zero issues like these, no problems with the heater itself, and haven't run an additive in three years. If I lived down south where there isn't a winter I wouldn't have any use for it, but I really don't see why anyone would remove it and I definitely couldn't live without it unless I found something better to replace it with, but at this point I see no reason to look.
