yep heater in the fuel bowl. Its a common problem for it to have a short in it and will blow fuses. The easiest way to fix that problem is to just leave it unplugged.
The fuel bowl heaters will sometimes short out and blow the PCM fuse. If your heater was shorted, and that is why it was unplugged, when you plugged it in it would blow the pcm fuse again and cause the no-start. I dont rememeber the fuse number, but I think its 17 or 20 (I'm really not sure so dont quote me)
:agree: the bowl heater runs on the same fuse as the PCM...if the PCM has no power the truck cant run...we get 30 bellow 0 quite often up here..i have no fuel bowl...my spin on filter sits down on the frame rail and my truck has never gelled...leave it un plugged and forget about it...
