Real easy install - did it in ~ 15 minutes myself.
Anybody else notice the number of block heater related threads recently? .....and Dodge thought not including a cord was a good idea?

Luckily, my Dodge dealer said it was on backorder so I did some searching here and found the Cummins part#. Less than $15 OTD. Less than 15 minutes installed.

Take your air tube loose at the turbo, it will be easier to see and install the cord, also a good time to take the turbo silencer off since you are there with a screwdriver anyway!!

If I have been reading these posts correctly, all third gen trucks up to and including 2003 had the heater and cord from the factory, correct? Its just the 04's and up that didn't necessarily have the factory cord?

Thanks again.
