I really like the idea of the "Marinco Mod", but I want a spring loaded cover. Do you guys think this would work?

If I could find just the plug off this one it would be ideal.

You guys know of any others?

 

Dunno brother, but I do know the diesel specific forums talk about this mod at times.

I think that Hubbell one would work just fine, but that one from Geno's is a lot cleaner looking (the plug itself). Have you tried calling Geno's to inquire how the Cummins plug attaches to the bracket? If it can be removed, it would be ideal, as you stated.

 

Looks just like mine but with a spring loaded cover.

 

I'll secound the idea of the Hubbell version looks like it will work just fine. My question/thought on the one from Geno's...what are the odds Cummins & Navistar used the same heater element? If it was me, I'd be interested in seeing the element end of the cord.

 

Check out the ZeroStart (Philips & Temro) catalog. They have a few cord/plug options with spring loaded covers. P & T is Ford's supplier.

You'll have to jump to page 76 to find what we're talking about. And for the record "a few cord/plug options" is an understatement

 

Wow! That is a crazy supplier!

 

Yeah, I emailed Geno's yeterday. We'll see what they say. I'll check out the PT catalog, now that you mention it I remember seeing they had some options. But that was long ago when I was looking for a plug heater for my Mazda.

 

Looks like they have a nice black one similar to hubbell. The other ones they have look great too, but I want a black to blend in more.

 

i found that international dealers carry the "zero-start" line and got this to replace my marinco mod......



got the spring loaded cover and cord from them fro 70 bones....

 

Yeah, that makes me want to paint one of the black ones to mach my bumper. Chrome bumper would be great!

 

I had the Hubbell in bblack plastic for 5 years before I sold my 7.3 no problems, gonna get one for my 6.0

 

Nice, where did you mount it up?
