Block Heater ?

Sorry if this has been discussed before but I am not having any luck in finding the answer that I am looking for. I am also new so please be gentle.

I have a 2006 F350 SD the 6.0l. I have found the block heater connection that is in the engine. I can't seem to find the correct cord from Napa, Ebay, Amazon that goes to the connection. I did talk to the ford dealer near me and they are out of their mind thinking that I am going to pay $120.00 for a cord. Can anyone please point me in the right direction. The connector looks like it has 2 prongs that come out and a screw on connection. Thanks in advance.

You can go by your local International dealership and ask for this one:

Navistar 1686485C91

HARNESS, ELECTRICAL ENGINE BLOCK HEATER

It's the exact same cord, but less than half the price. I can't tell if that one Ed posted is a China knock off or not. I'm not a fan of China...let alone put their crap on my truck.

Ed's not there anymore. If you want to spend the money with a site sponsor (absolutely nothing wrong with that)...you might be better off with Clay at RiffRaff:

Noticed mine had a nick in it, and wanted to replace it. The International one mentioned above cost me $27 at the parts counter of a truck dealership.
