Look behind the passengers side tow hook/fog light area. It is there.

Its really tucked up there and mine was tied like you thought it would be stolen. It should be in the tow hook opening.Warm your truck up b-4 plugging in (or plug it in and warmit up) it will be warmer in the morning.

If you still can not find it, look on the frame rail behind the passenger side tire. It is hung there at the factory and the dealer is supose to route it up to the bumper during prep. I only know this because this is where I found mine and that was the explaination I rerceived from the dealer

I've had very easy start-ups in the past few mornings (truck outside) with temps between 10-18 degrees F with no plug-in... (not certain if I even have this option, although I should know)!

Block heater is standard equipment I believe; ALL THE WAY INTO THE 50s!!!
Looking at 12 tonight; mines nice and toasty inside the dealers shop.
Its spent over 60 nights at one dealer or another;Do 6.0s hiebernate?
We dont plug in except when it get close to 10; then all the trucks get hooked up.
