Need Part # for block heater cord
I have a Cummins dealer in town and I need to replace my block heater cord in my 1999 truck.
If you have the part# please provide it to me.
I tried searching this site but no luck.
thanks for the help.

Got the cord at the local Cummins dealer for $16.
I had one heck of a time removing the old cord. I removed my BHAF and the oil filter to make room. The piece of aluminum ring that holds the cord in place -- supposed to be just hand tightned, would not budge. I had to use a vise grip to loosen it. With the very limited amount of space, it was very hard to use the vise grip. In any event, I got the new one in place. I'll find out tomorrow morning if the block heater works.

Owners manual for my rigs says it's ok and even recommends leaving the heater plugged in during warmup in cold weather.
Good thing too, when it's subzero I use a remote starter and am not about to go outside and unplug it.
Been doing it for fifteen years, if it's going to cause a problem it's taking it's sweet time. Never have replaced the elements or cords.
