block heater plug

As others have said you're not at the mercy of Ford for the cord. I believe in '05 they stopped putting the cord on and made it an "as requested" option. You can get the cord through almost all of your local auto part stores as from what I understand all makes and models use the same. I got mine from O'Reilly and if you need can dig up the part number.

I never seen mine get that high when plugged in. But I also don't plug it in unless under 20*F and then only power it up for 3 hours or so. I think 86 was the highest I've ever seen. It does help the truck start up better but it's no instant heat like my father in laws international DT466's do

A lot of folks plug the extension cord into a timer. Set it for 3 hours before they start up.
Here is something I did a few years ago on the subject.

If you want the exact one installed on the truck, might try your local International/Navistar dealership. As far as I know this is still a good number:
Navistar 1686485C91
The last price I saw was $27, but that was a couple of years ago and that might have been at a discount.
And if your feeling rich....
Ford 5C3Z-6B018-DA
$137 through Ford's online parts catalog
$91 through Tousley (though you still have to pay shipping)
