Block Heater
so i'm moving up north.... from Texas to Illinois . My wifes granparents aren't doing to well, so we will be living with them for a little bit to help out. I'm kinda worried bout my truck and the cold starts up there. it's never had to deal with that in texas ... i looked and didn't see a plug for the heater. did they come stock on these trucks, or was it something optional? also, if it doesn't have one, could one be installed and about how hard would the installation be? thanks guys

last yr my truck sat out for 10hrs when it was -40* with a north wind blowing straight into the radiator. cycled the glow plugs twice and she fired right up
