block heater?

Hi, We are sitting at work talking about our trucks and the subject of block heater's came up. I have a 05 6.0 and am having the cord installed to the block heater. One ofthe other guys has a 01 7.3 and said if it had one he didn't know where it is. Did the 01 7.3 come with a block heater and if so where is it located. Thanks in advance for your help. Ed

All Powerstrokes from 99-03 come with block heaters as standard equiptment. It is installed through the top of the oil cooler head into a coolant passage. The plug is zip tied up behind the bumper somewhere on the drivers side.

My block heater cord on my '02 SD 7.3 is tucked in by the tow hook on the driver's side.

There is a remote possibility it won't have one. There was a "cold weather delete" option that removed the block heater and the EBPV, but it wasn't very common.
