un identified electrical connector
Hi,
I just recieved my 2007 F-350 FX4 XL Ford.
Im new to Ford trucks. as a matter a fact this is the 1st year that israel's Ford dealer found it worthwhile to import the F350, so i guess there is no expert here.
people are still STARING at the beast...
amongst many questions i have, I found an electric connector (same as US 110VAC) behind my front bumper. covered with a black rubber hat.
any Ideas what this does? what can be connected to it?
thanx

this is the block heater cord. you plug up the cord to a drop cord to keep your engine warm. welcome aboard eysham, congrats on the purchase. there is alot of helpful info here and if it is ever specific just give a shout someone will help you out.

Hey there . . .
Check, heats the engine antifreeze to 55` to keep engine warm for cold weather start ups. Is that something needed where you are?
When needed some folks put them on timers so they only work a few hours before they are up and off to work.

electrical converter
You can easily find a converter that inputs 220VAC into 110-115VAC here in israel.
Every house appliance made in the USA needs one of those here...
The thing is, I don't think that there is much need for the block heater even in the coldest part of north israel.
so, I guess there is no point buying a converter and waiting for the snow...
Tnx anyway,
Eysham
