Anyone got pics of 6.0 block heater cord hooked up? It sounds like in 06 they only shipped the cord to "cold weather" states and Maryland wasn't on the list. I've never needed to plug mine in before, but a dead battery in 18 degrees was not fun. Jumping it would have been a lot easier if she was warm.

They are on the passenger side, near the battery and below the coolant tank on a duramax. Not sure on a Ford. But there's this: http://motors.shop.ebay.com/i.html?_...eater&_kw=cord

Found this pic online but haven't looked to hard under the hood to find it.
I was told if it had a cord, the cord would be near the passenger side tow hook and there isn't one there.

Is Diesel Stop the ford equivalent of Diesel Place? If so... they may have a pic. I was able to find a pic of a cord in the factory location on a truck like mine on Diesel Place.

Thanks! I thought the red part of the cord plugged in to the red circle in this pic?
I'm not very handy with tools as you can tell... SOB's should have bumped the price up $100 and had it zip tied like the other ones!

Sure looks like a match with that threaded collar.

I like the sound of that, considering I found out today that the water pump is 400 bucks.
I found a diesel tech kid. Seems ok. Nice shop. Nice personal trucks.Warning: This post may contain language unsuitable for minors or math not suitable for liberal-arts majors.

Ok, i am a ford certified master diesel tech and a boat enthusiest. Every 6.0 is equipped with a block heater but not a cord. you need to just order the cord and follow the picture in the bag to install it. it can be a bear getting it throught the cradle. and i would only reccomend the ford genuine cord. your truck is not equpped with the cold weather package. i doubt you lost a fuse. but if you are going to replace the alternator go to an o'riley they offer a higher amperage alternator for less money.
also, everyone on here feel free to pm me with questions if needed i live and breathe the 7.3, 6.0, 6.4 and the new 6.7 It is all i do each and every day. i would love to review this entire thread and help but you guys seem to all be pointed in the correct direction. the 6.0 can be a great truck and ford is superior in initial quality. you just have to get over the little kinks. also, if you are close to me i can install an egr block off for half the cost of the kit. i have a talented machinist that makes stainless plugs in the many many egr coolers i have under my toolbox. that takes care of many things and brings them back to to not swallowing egr and acting more like a 7.3 I also love the 6.0 so much that i fix them and drive one every day.Last edited by fixxxer22; 02-09-2010 at 08:54 PM.
