My block heater plug was relocated by a previous owner to hang over the front driver side leaf spring. I don't like this location because it catches a lot of mud and road debris. I would like to relocate it back to the stock location. Where is it normally located? Pictures would be great.
Stock is where you want it to end up. From the factory is was tie wrapped between the drivers side headlight and drivers side battery. Had a heck of a time even finding it. I just dropped it straight down enough for easy access just behind the front bumper and re-tie wrapped it.
You can see it hanging to the right of the license plate and slightly below the bumper in this photo ...
So it varies? I'll just look for a good spot for it, then. Probably through the grille or somewhere around the bumper. I'll install the plug thing in the bumper when I get time and resources to do it.
I put mine, as shown above, to help keep the plug dry when the truck is sitting and especially when using the block heater when it's raining. But, to each his own ...
Yep, i used the marinco aswell...Except when i did mine...yea i realized that 97 was the first year a block heater was an option.........lol but the bumper plug looks great!
