Engine block heater

[lone ranger]

Since I don't have an EBH and I don't see in my immediate future to buy one, I decided to insulate my detached garage. Almost done. Here in Chicago the temps in the garage can be mid 30's to low 40's depending on the winter temps outside. I figure that since I insulated the garage the warm up time will be dramatically reduced resulting in quicker optimum operating temperature and better gas mileage. I'll know this winter if it helped.

Hi Lone Ranger FEH's made for shipment to northern states had EBH's as standard equipment. I'm not sure if IL qualifies as a "northern" state in Ford's eyes, but Chicago is not that far from WI

Did you check under the bumper, up behind the front license plate holder?

I checked behind the front plate and their is no plug. I even put my hand behind the bumper, but nothing.
