Block heater location?

Hi
I purchased my 02 F250 from Arizona. I dont think it has a block heater. Where is it located? How big of a job is it to install one if I dont have?

Thanks

the heater is the orange cord just above the oil filter.... the plug is most likely hidding in by the rad behind the bumper on the driver side all tied up..most all the PSD's have them already installed..

If it works you will be able to hear the coolant gurgle as it heats up. Just listen at the driver side wheel well. May take a minute or two.
