I'm with barnbridge here. If you purchased your truck in Wis. then you should have the cord already installed. (one of the ten states that Ford decided would have the heater/cord standard).
I would check to see if it's not tucked away behind the bumper.

I'm also in the market for a new one, last year my block heater was barely working so i'm hoping its just the cord, i ripped the head off and the wires were very corroded, so chances are thats all she was

Do you guys think it is worth it to buy a factory cord with the split loom and all the little deals to snap it into place? Those are like $75 on ebay, or you can just get a plain old cord for like $30 and zip-tie it...

My truck actually took delivery in Michigan. I am too surprised that it did not come with a cord. It came with the block heater cause I can see it and it has no cord. I was told that Ford installs the block heater in the "Cold States" but the cord is extra. Nice huh!
Also when I get a cord do you guys recommend that I smear a little dielectric grease on it? Thanks

The block heater is installed in all 6.0L engines, the cord was only installed in "cold" states. I don't remember which ones that is, but I know IL wasn't one. I bought the cord at my local international dealer for $40.20 (part number 1686485).
