IMHO, if you are talking 1 to 4 seconds more starter time before it fires when plugged in, depending on OAT, then its normal. All of the 6.0s I have started, including my own and a half a dozen work trucks have been the same to some degree.

First off I am not a diesel tech. But I believe the PCM doesn,t know the heaters plugged in until the starter turns over and the sensors detect an unexpected change in oil and coolant temps/pressures. At which the time the PCM has to readjust fuel to lower emissions. In other words its all about the 6.0 emission control calibration in my opinion.
