Engine Block Heater

Hi All, quick question. Just picked up my new truck, 7.3 gas and paid for a engine block heater. Cannot find the plug? Dealer says it is up behind the drivers side fog light and I'm not close enough to drop by? I checked both lights, under the hood, behind the grill. I beginning to think it wasn't installed. Anyone have this option that can confirm where it is!

On my 2019 6.7L the cord is located just above the passenger side factory fog light.

On my 2018, it was tucked up in the passenger side tow hook area

Can you get a block heater with a gas engine ?

Absolutely. I'm pretty sure they're standard equipment in Canada. I haven't owned a Ford without one, including cars. I've also rarely used one.

Mine on my 22 (6.7L) is in the open area behind the front license plate in the top left hand (passenger side) corner. It shouldn't be hard to find. Also, once you do grab it, I would suggest one of these $20
NOCO plugs NOCO plugs
... it's so much easier to use and looks pretty good too!

Yay... I found it... Thanks, I guess a pic IS worth a 1,000 words. Went through the whole winter not finding it, so I bought an oil-pan heater that stuck on there good magnetically and did the job, but, now I feel...

Thanks chadstick. Found it. Not as well hidden as I thought. Actually nicely clipped up. I do like your connector. I will look into getting one. For others looking see attached pic

Do all diesels come with the plug? Mine didn’t, I don’t see it on the window sticker either
