On my truck I believe it was like a $60 dollar option. However if you don't have it, all you should have to do is buy the part, unscrew the frost plug at the bottom of the motor and screw in the heater. After that run your cord through the engine bay and zip tie it to the front near the radiator.

Since 02 all block heaters are optional on the Rams, except Canadian models. It is standard equipment on all Canadian trucks. Even the diesel block heaters are optional in the states. The diesel does have the heater installed, you just have to order the cord from the dealer (about $30 I think). Itplugs in above and a little forward of the oil filter, there is a cap over it. All the Cummins 600's (diesels after '04.5) are rated to start down to -20 below0.
On all gasengines, if there is no plug it doesn't have one. Plug will be tie-strapped on the side of front yoke (right behind l/s or r/s headlight) if it has one. If it doesn't have one and you want it, you can order it. They are not too hard to install, you have to knock out one of the freeze plugs and it screws in place.
