I've Googled the web and searched this site for suggestions on a block heater and haven't come up with much yet. While I continue to search, does anyone have some advice on a source for one and also maybe some instructions on installation? I've never installed one of these so pardon my ignorance if it's a no-brainer. Thanks.

 

Are you looking for a Block Heater? (standard on all Cummins powered trucks, look for the plug behind the passenger side headlight), or an auxiliary heater (Like the Espar diesel fuel powered heater) www.espar.com

 

I was looking for a block heater. I had no idea that all Cummins powered Dodges came standard with them. I guess I'm still stuck on gassers and getting used to the whole diesel thing. Thanks for the info.

I checked behind the passenger headlight and could find no plug. Does it come from the factory with the plug tucked away somewhere. I'm dressed in work clothes so I can't really crawl under it right now to look any closer.

 

Usually it's tucked in behind the passenger side headlight, close to the radiator support.
Might need a flashlight to see.

 

Did some more searching around and found the block heater. The plug is actually in front of the radiator to the right of the headlight. During my search, found this site explaining the how-to's of replacing the heating element.
