Could some one tell me where to purchase the cord for the block heater for a 2003 f350. I saw it one time in someones post but can't find it now.

 

Can you just splice a new end on it? Where is it fubared? I like the marinco plug screwed into the valence. I will do it to mine someday.

 

I was at the International store yesterday picking up my bellows kit and saw a branks new block heater cord assembly for a little under $14.

 

I second the marinco plug , if you can salvage your factory cord. I melted mine, I think I plugged it in when the cord end was icy and didn't notice it. I replaced it with the marinco and I am very happy. Use some liquid electric tape and it will seal it from the elements really well. I couldn't figure out how to post with a quote from another thread so I will copy and give credit to the original poster, Pocket.

This is from a earlier post and was submitted by Pocket:

The block heater works perfectly fine on a 15A circuit. That's what I have at my home. And also I have it plugged into a GFCI outlet as well.

Your best bet is the plug at the end of the block heater cord. That is the first to go. Chop it off and get a Marinco outlet from Bass Pro Shops or any other marine or boating store.

Here's the Marinco plug: http://www.basspro.com/webapp/wcs/s...0003000_200-3-4

Nice info! Thanks! I may have to do that to my truck.

 

Thanks guys, I finally found the short in the wire, it was driving me crazy I had the 14.4 ohms on the block heater like they said I should but I was also getting a good 122 volts cming out of the wires. I finally took it off brought in the shop to check it with the OHM meter sure enough one time it would read okay then I moved the wire and no power. Did like you guys said and bought a marineco outlet, what a great idea. Thanks for all the help!

 

A guy at work, who has a cummins, saw the marinco setup on my truck and was really interested in it. I figured someone helped me with the idea, so why not help someone else? I'll continue to pass it on. So many people notice it, at least alot more than I thought would. What a great idea!

 

Which outlet? And the link no worky...any help?
