    They sell them at the dealer. It’s like a heater element on an electric hot water tank. The ones for Trucks are shorter, screws into the oil cooler. Has a weather seal plug. They’re pretty cheap. Probably find one online easily. Easy to install.

    FYI. They don’t need to be plugged in all the time. Save electricity, plug in an hour or two before starting. You can usually gear the water bubbling, boiling
