Question,,
What could a lower watt heater be put on the trans pan? For nights that it is really cold.. ie -25F would it be any help?

You can buy heating pads that are magnetic or glue on. These work quite well from what I understand. Going into my first winter with this truck, I talked to owners in the north, where -40 is common, about adding on a pan heater. Some had them but found they were not necessary. The ones that did use them, used them instead of the block heater. We are talking about the engine oil pan. Nothing to prevent you putting one on the transmission pan, although I don't know of anyone who has.
You need to consider the electrical draw with a bunch of heaters. Most plugins are 15 amp, sometimes 20. Most of the time you will be limited to the block heater and battery blanket anyway.
