Regarding the use of the extension cord...
On my '02 F250, the existing block heater lines are not long enough to reach down to the plastic below the bumper. I've seen pics of one guy's installation where he went through the chrome bumper for his installation, but I personally don't like the idea of doing that. In order to get down to the black plastic shourd below the bumper, my existing lines are going to have to be extended, which is what the short extension cord is going to accomplish for me. Additionally, putting the black Marinco adapter in the stock black plastic shroud looks great together... almost like OEM.

Hey guys... a little off topic, but related all the same, and I just wanted to share it with you guys.
One of my co-workers just ot a new Toyota P/U, and was talking about some of the features that came stock in his new ride. The one that really piqued my interest was the 110/115 volt receptacle on his back bumper. What a great idea! if you're off in the woods, out in the field, etc. and need to use an electric power tool, just start up teh truck, plug in the tool, and get to work!
Maybe this isn't so new to some or most of you, but I had never thought of it before, and can see some really good use from that kind of feature. At the same time, though, I honestly don't think I have a real practical use for it right now, but will certainly investigate the installation cost and keep it in mind for the future.

Nice work. Good clean install.
I'm going to do mine this weekend, hopefully along with my bypass oil system, AIH delete, CCV, and 6637 install. Gonna be a busy Friday afternoon and Saturday.
