Yay!! i got a block heater cord for X-mass! yay its got the little clips to go in the holes, but, i dont know where it routs through. anybody know where it goes after it leaves the block? like , over this, under that , behind here, and around that?

 

If I remember right, it follows the inside frame rail to the front. the clips on the cord should be just about in position to where they would plug into frame holes.

After that, it is up to you where you bring it out. The stock location is between the grill and bumper, but I never liked it sitting against the paint. I routed mine around the radiator/intercooler and zip tied it to the passenger side tow hook.

 

Thank you Sir, iv found it. I have it laying in the front bumber, just have to reach in and grab it. just hope it dosent fall out of there. i thought about zip tying it to the front tow hook as well.

 

 

There's also a few nice plug adapters that mount in the bumper to allow easier access to the plug.
Geno's has one that bolts right in:

There are a few others as well in chrome and stainless.

Don't forget to add a timer so it will automatically turn on about 2 hours before you head out each morning.

 

another great ideal, i think i may go with something like this. thank you.

 

Hey Timmer.

I put mine in the holes along the frame out to the front and got the bracket from Genos. It is a good setup to use. You can also get a similar bracket and receptacle from any RV parts store, a few dollars less.

I mounted a plug on my rear bumper and ran flexible conduit from the engine to the plug and sealed each end with silicon. I back my truck in, which puts it within 2 feet of the recepticle. It looks nice and you don't have that plug hanging out the front. Just another idea for you.

 

I put mine up by the air box so that it is under the hood and not covered with snow in the winter. Also I will not forget to unplug it before I back out of the garage, that and the cord is dry when I go to plug it in as wet hands, cords and electricity don't work well together

 

not to change the thread but where are you guys buying your cords? I know dodge wants like 30 or something bucks for them. Just wondering thats all.
Thanks

 

Your nearest Cummins dealer should have them for about $12-15.00

 

my uncle is the parts manager at a dodge 'ship here in town, so i get all my mopar parts cheep

 

Yup, get it from the Cummins Dealer. It costs 1/3 as much, and is the SAME plug.

 

cummins dealer $10.92

 

Can any of you guys post any pics of your plug install from Geno's? I would like to see what it looks like over, in, or under the bumper. Thanks.
