2006 5.9 Litre
I've heard the New truck's have something from the Factory to speed up warm up time.
Electronic or Mechanical
Is there any aftermarket system available to warm up the motor in -30* C

If its an automatic, the dealer can enable the fast idle option in the ECM and you turn it on/off using the cruise control...
Manual-equipped trucks are a little trickier, and use the PTO circuit to adjust RPM...but it should have an auto-fast idle already enabled? It should go into a fast idle whenever sitting and coolant temps drop.
I am assuming you already have winter fronts, battery blankets, etc?

That would be the exhaust brake. Starting with the 6.7, the VGT turbo incorporates an integrated exhaust brake. Very sweet. I just got a Pacbrake PRXB for my 5.9 '07. I'd recommend a Pacbrake as the best warm-up help for a pre-6.7 truck. Also great for towing. Service brakes have been reported to last 200k miles on exhaust brake-equipped trucks.
