Doesn't hurt to ask them and see if they will give it to you, but I wouldn't hold my breath or raise a big stink about it. It didn't come with mine here in IL and we had about two straight weeks below zero every morning this year.

Check your nearest International dealer if there is one nearby, it will be quite a bit cheaper than Ford. I did a search on there site and it came up with 3 dealers not sure how close they are to you.

Clark's Truck Center - Jericho , Vermont
J&B International Trucks, Inc. - Colchester , Vermont
McDermotts, Inc. - Enosburg Falls , Vermont

Robber80 did you buy it new or used? If new, I'd put it back on the dealer.

I just bought my 250 a couple of weeks ago used. I too couldn't find my cord so I wasn't sure that my truck came with the cord or not. A co-worker told me I could call Ford and ask them to send me a "build sheet" for my truck. I called and got the build sheet about 5 days later...and it showed that the truck had the immersion heater installed.

Sure enough, the cord was there but since it had the cap on it like Beerstalker mentioned above I missed it.

Once you locate / install your heater cords you may want to ad the Marinco plug for ease of use. See my gallery for some pics. Pretty easy mod.
