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.

Grid heater failures are extremely rare. You can do a simple resistance measurement across it without removing it to check. Expect a low reading - a bad heater will measure open. Grid heaters DO NOT require cleaning.
Az heat is hard on batts. They may be all that's wrong.
BTW, I would dump the K&N. They are notoriously bad on turbo diesels and may actually be the problem. The oil in them fouls the MAP sensor so I would get some sensor cleaner and spray said sensor down.
