Hi all!

I'm new to all this and am looking to install a engine block heater in my Tacoma. It's a 2002 V6 3.4L 5VZ-FE with a Manual Trans. Is there already an existing plug in the engine for a block heater or do i have to drain the anti freeze and what not?

Also, if you know of anywhere that'll give you step by step instructions that would be much appreciated.

Thanks!
