Keeping Diesel Engine Warm
My dodge dually Cummins engine is very hard to start when cold. At home or camping with hookups I can plug in the block heater but what can be done when boondocking.

Something is very wrong. The Cummins will start fine even without grids at temps to -20F.
It may be getting close to needing a high pressure pump and/or injectors or something else. How old are your batteries? If the ECM doesn't see a minimum engine speed during cranking it will not fire the injectors.
Rather than do anything else, I would get it looked at.
