Engine Block Heater and Cord
Hey Guys,
I have a 2006 F250 6.0 CC. I'm pretty sure that the truck has an engine block heater but I am having my doubts about the cord already being installed. Can someone tell me EXACTLY where to look under the hood to find the heater. From what I have read you can see the prongs come off the block where the cord plugs in under the hood. Ive looked all in the front bumper for a cord and can't find one so I'm assuming it isnt there. I just need someone to give me pretty detailed instructions on where to look for the prongs that the cord plugs into.
Thanks,
Brian

I would like to add that it is above the starter and can be best seen from inside the wheel well..
There is a cutout on the inner fender that you can look through..
I held a camera up to it and snapped a picture..
Here is a picture I took..

me too.
i did not get that option on my truck but would like to install one. does anybody have the part number for the international part? I'd rather not spend 120.00 on a cord if I don't have to.
at what temps do you folks plug in?
