Thumbs down Cord for block heater, where can I find one cheap?

I did a search and could not find out where some are getting the cord for the block heater for the 5.9. DC gets $50 or so, Cummins quoted me for the long cord $33 or so. I thought someone said AutoZone or NAPA had them for $15-20 range. If you know for sure please advise where and if you know it the part number to order it. Also price you paid. My 07 did't have the cord installed so being in Michigan guess I better get one prior to winter.

You could try ebay. Also try the big rig shops. It's a universal cord. They should have them.

I didn't know/think about the Kenworth idea, so got mine off ebay for $24.05 delivered to my door.

Don't know if he has any more, but he sells lots of parts, here's the link:

I bought mine from a Cummins shop. Go online and see where the closest store is, or see if you can order one from them. Mine was like $16.

Genos garage was like $20something, bought it when I was ordering some oil and fuel filters...

Could probably get it at a local Cummins cheaper though, but never had the time to drive up there to buy one...

I got bent over a barrel at the DC dealer last winter for 47$ but it was 20 degrees below zero outside.

Mine was like $15 at the local Dodge dealership. They didn't put mine back on the truck when I had it in the shop and lost it, so they had to replace it with a new one.

OK, found on at my local International dealer. They service & sell many differetn types of truck & engines, had it in stock, under $14 with tax and long cord.

I'm happy, now all I have to do is get it installed.

Thanks for all the replies

Plug it in and screw on the connector! Just double check the wire routing going towards the front bumper to make sure it won't rub through on anything. I used wire ties to affix it securely.
