Plenty of time for the glowplugs to warm up.

if you have an iphone check out the smartstart add on from viper (it works with your alarm, check vipers web site). the app is free and the service is free for the 1st year and 30$ a year after. if your truck is in cell range and you have a cell signal you can not only get alerts but can control all functions of the alarm. go away for a week or two you can still start your truck every day if you want, unlock it to let someone grab something, you name it, its awsome. i was in NY starting up my truck and my neighbor called me and said "hey chris, you know your truck just started by itself" knowing im in NY he didnt know what the hell was going on... LOL!!!
and if you dont have an iphone you may want one after checking this out.
