Here's the lowdown on block heaters, you can take it to the bank... All Dodge diesels had standard block heaters with cords up through the January of 2004 model trucks. These newer ones are known as the 600's. Dodge still installs the heater in the block, but deletes the cord now. You can buy the cord as an option or buy it over the counter at the dealership. Believe me, the Dodge forum guys exploded when the cord got to be an added cost option. It's chicken poop, frankly. Before the Jan 04's, the cord was standard on every one, and located on the core support by the passenger headlight. Cummins don't have glow plugs, they have intake heaters. They tend to start much easier down colder than glow plug engines do. It has to do with the swept area, being a 6 cylinder, each hole is larger and pulls more volume than an equivalent size V8 would.
