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.

If you look at the first post, this was the question. I have a block heater, but what do others use when boondocking.

You've already answered your own question. Change your dead battery and it'll likely work fine.
Short of that, what suggestions do you want? If you lack electricity to keep plugged in, you are limited in options. Either only park where it is 85 degrees year round, build a fire under your engine to keep it warm, find a way to funnel solar energy (either sunlight for heat or sunlight and converter to plug in) or change your dead battery.
