That is the old thermostat heater that Ford is now instructing dealers to REMOVE. Get the block heater instead. https://www.f150forum.com/f2/ford-te...0014-a-243990/

The only issue with the "new" block heater is , according to the Ford instructions, you have to remove the driver side turbo. Not exactly a quick and easy thing to do. I do believe this "new" block heater from Ford will work better though because it is actually in the block. If I would've only waited two months.....
