If you are considering doing a block heater yourself, figure out where that frost plug is first, and how accessible it is.

Mine was really hard to get to, but the same engine in my wife's car is super easy to get at!

The 4.3L engine may be easier in that the engine comes out closer to the side of the truck, but other things may be in the way as well.
