where is the end of the cord to the block heater on my truck?

You'll find it tie-wrapped up near the passenger's side tow hook up front.

 

Yeh what Daryl said. It took me some time to fugure out where it is. Its tucked in there pretty good.Let us know if you find it. Welcome to the site.

 

All the 03's have them. It is hard to find. As Daryl posted, it is tucked up behind the bumper by the passenger side tow eye. Dig around, it is there.

 

Thanks for this. Just found mine. I bought this truck in the spring and it is going down to the 20s tonight. What is the wattage of the heater?

 

Wow--this is a way old thread and reminds me of some old friends I haven't seen in a LONG LONG TIME.

IIRC the block heater wattage is ~1500.

 

Don't leave it plugged in all night, it's equivalent to running a good sized air conditioner or two desktop computers.

 

Hmm I guess should put it on a timer that turns on about an hour before I need to start it.

 

Here are some hour by hour temp readings.
