It should be behind the bumper right by the driver's side tow hook. It might be zip tied back there and can be a pain to get out. It has a cover over the plug
Hope this helps.

It may be behind the driver's side battery. That's where mine was and I had to run it down behind the front bumper. If it's not behind the front bumper, start looking around the battery.

Glad you located yours, I have a 2003 6.0 and the plug is behind the passingers side tow hook hole. The problem is if you have a tow hook in that hole it can make it hard to get at. It is up and to the right of the hole, wire tied to a cross member. When you do cut the wire tie holding the cord it still may be a little short so you may have to reach in and cut the cord off the cross member. This is harder to do and I have not got that far yet.
Just in case you are looking for a 6.0 one.

The block heater plug runs to a heater element in the oil cooler on the drivers side of the engine. It heats the water in the oil cooler. I use mine at about 25F, but some people use it at 50F and some at 0F. No matter how you do it, it won't heat up the cab any faster.
