Default Block heater

Can any one tell me how hard or easy it is to install and the item/s needed for the block heater on the 2007 mega cab 6.7 diesel.
thanks

The diesel engine has the block heater located on the right side of the engine below the exhaust manifold next to the oil cooler. The block heater should already be there so all you need is the cord.
56051181aa is the part number for a 2007, but they are on back order right now. You can use one for a 5.9L as it is the same. Part # 5086737AB

If you have a local Cummins dealer around, you can get the same cord as Dodge sells only a bunch cheaper.

What does the dealership want for the cord?
I just paid $31 for mine at Cummins and another $12 for the stupid pin to do the high idle upgrade. I need to start making those things myself.
