Been doing it for 3 years with stock remote starter and no problems. Same question asked a few days back. Check this post. http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/showthread.php?t=400696

Absolutely no problem, if you think about it there is no air in the coolant system, so instead of warming coolant that is not moving you are warming coolant that is circulating, not that it is really going to warm coolant that is flowing. I ALWAYS leave the vehicle (truck tractor whatever) plugged in until I am ready to move it. It can only help to warm it up...
