Block Heater

Is a block heater optional equipment on my 2002 PSD? I just moved from South Georgia to West Virginia. The weather's a little colder here and I've never had to even think about plugging up my truck in the winter until now. To be honest, I haven't really searched that hard for my heater cord, but I'm pretty sure it doesn't have one. If it is an add on, has anybody out there added one? Where can I get a kit and how expensive is it? Thanks

Im just throwing this out there from what i have hear but - Everyones truck comes equipped with a block heater, but not all come with the cord to plug it in. Its around $30 from the dealer i think. Im sure someone else can shed some light up this. Or search for old threads,there is a ton of them

Y'all rock! After a brief search, Jed's a millionaire. I found the plug tucked in nice and neat behind the driver's side fog light, just where the factory stuck it. Thanks!
