Unhappy Question... PSD block heater plug location??

I guess I have a Dumb question for you guys, I have a 04 6.0L PSD and cant seem to locate the plug for the block heater. Do all Powerstrokes come with heaters? It's gonna get really cold here tonight and I want to make sure my truck will start in the morning. Any and all help will be greatly appreciated.

If you are facing the front of the truck it's usually located on the right lower corner of the grill, or in the front bumper of the same area.
May look under the hood, right side again, behind the grill. May the dealer, had it tucked there to display on the lot. Look for what looks like an extension cord.

The plug for the diesel is located to the right of the left tow hook behind the bumper. You need someone with small hands to get at it. Once you get your hand on the plug give a firm and steady pull and the plastic restraint will break and the plug will come out from behind the bumper enough to plug it in.

the block heater is in all. The option is the plug. Did you get the option? If not you'll have to get the plug. it attaches to the block just above the starter. It's hard to see but you will find it with a steady eye. I'm sure this is to late for your cold weather but maybe it will help you tonigh.

Here is a pic of where it is attached to the engine block, right rear area above the starter. Plug comes out as mentioned earlier, by the front right tow hook. See gallery for pics of all . . .

The heater itself is factory installed in all 6.0's, it is just the cord that is optional. Go Figure, is that idiotic or what
