My Buddy swears up and down that my truck has a plug for keeping the oil warm and such. I cant seem to find it. can anyone tell me where it is?

Look for a black cap on the side of the block ahead of the turbo. Unscrew the cap and then buy and connect a cord in its place. Do a search here for "block heater."

I know it gets cold down there, my grandparents like south of Tucson, I was really surprised how cool 50 can feel

Weaverwelder, Did you find it?

There is a plastic zip tie like bundler to the right of the passenger side headlight on the frame pillar. Mine was there.
