On the Powerstrokes (7.3 anyway) the intake heater is not used except under certain conditions. I can't remember excactly but is something like idling for over 5 minutes under 32* parking brake set. It rarely happens and the heating coil is a large obstruction in the intake. Most, including myself have removed it and plugged the hole.

There is a plug with a place to hook up boost gauge that is pretty slick.

This is of course totaly seperated from the block heater.
