block heater

I bought a used 2001 F 350 turbo. I am told for were I live I will need a block heater for the winters here. I have also been told that this truck has one installed from the factory. I have looked all under the truck but can't see were the hook up is. Please help

Welcome to FTE!

Look for a three-prong plug on the end of a cord, tucked away somewhere behind the driver's side tow hook.

If you can't find it that way, look for an orange cord protruding out of the block near the oil filter.
