should have a heater on the driver side rear of the block. cord should be tucked up under the bumper somewhere.
when you turn the key to run, if the glow plugs are working, wait till the wait to start light goes out before turning the key to start.

Depending on oil temperature, the glow plugs will stay on up to 120 seconds regardless of what the light on the dash is doing.

The block heater, which in this case warms the coolant at the driver's side rear of the block, will be located on the oil cooler header just above the oil filter. A factory cord will be orange in color as it leaves the heater element and will snake along the top outside edge of the frame toward the front of the vehicle. Where the plug physically is would be up to whomever plugged it in last.
