The 2001 Pontiac Montana block heater cable can be found in the front of the vehicle. You can access the block heater cable through the front grill.
The block heater connection is on the passenger side of the block, just above the freeze plugs, you will need the cable that runs out to the grill/bumper. Every newer diesel has this heater just some were not equipped with the cable, it is an option. Hope this helps. John

as far as i know if you did not have one installed there wont be one, but if there was one the plug is usually placed where you can get at it from the front through the grille so you dont have to open the hood.
yes...available upon request.
That is an engine block heater. It heats the engine coolant.
some did and some did not if it is not behind the bumper on the right front (passanger side) you will have to go to your ford dealer and order the cable. all 6.0L came with the heater in the block but may not have the cord.
Unplug the power cable by pulling it straight out. Drain the coolant. There is a screw in the block heater. Loosen this screw, probably a Phillips. Put a drain pan under the heater and pull the heater out by hand. If the heater is stubborn. grasp it with pliers and pull hard. If there is collant in the block, it will probably shoot out, so wear glasses and watch out for coolant! Clean the hole with a rag or paper. Press the new heater into the hole by hand making sure the rubber gasket is seated. Tighten the screw in the heater and it will suck the heater into place. Plug in the new power chord that comes with the heater. Refill the radiator with coolant. Test the heater by plugging it into 110 ac. Reach behind the power cable and touch the block heater. It might make a humming sound and should be starting to get warm in a minute or so. Now you are ready for -40 degree temperatures. It takes the heater 3 hours to properly heat the engine block on a very cold day. Unplug the power cable by pulling it straight out. Drain the coolant. There is a screw in the block heater.

The port for the block heater is a small hole approx. the size of a quarter located on the windshield side of the motor, closer to the driver side of the car. It is just below the head (top part of motor) in the cylinder block. Make sure the hole is clean of dirt and debris by blowing it out, then simply push the heater element in until it clicks, that's it! ...well then you should plug the cord in... but that's it I swear!
110-block is for data networking cable. The 66-block is for telephone cable.
cable
Look behind the bumper, on the driver's side of center. It will be held up by a cable tie, if it's never been used before.
