Don't overthink it.
Diesel is good to about -40F with anti-gel additives.
As far as priming, they make pass-through electric pumps. I wired one into mine. Push a button under the hood and it primes the lines. Literally takes 10 seconds tops. I also put a one way bleed valve with a shutoff so...
It's a voltage controlled switch.
Once voltage gets above a set point it engages the relay.
It's so the engine starts and charges the primary battery then the relay engages to send juice to the auxiliary/house batteries.
Not to rain on the parade, but a tubular lock is easier to pick than most other locks - other than a Masterlock. Also, if there is easy access to the wires behind it, it's not really doing anything.
That being said, it'll stop 99.9% of the people that are looking for a quick joyride. I think...

IMO you're better off running it from a time delay relay. They're pretty common, and wait a (usually programmable) amount of time before de-energizing after the vehicle is switched off. This will allow some loads to remain on, for short trips away from the truck, like if you're charging a phone...
