Question 1

On a diesel pickup,after having this installed and in the weather for a while, does the protective cover stay in place while driving?Any other issues?

Accepted Answer

I installed on Trailready bumper by drilling thru 1/4” steel on my Dodge. Hooked up dual (2) battery warmers, block heater, engine oil pan and transmission pan warmers and trickle charger. Only mod I did was to add an inline LED indicator (in addition to the LED on the extension power cord) as redundant power connection indicator. VERY expensive to thaw out a diesel truck once frozen to -35 or more. So far flawless performance and impressively cover stays flexible and good seal with temps never getting above -30 F for last 30 days. Cover was noted to be flexible at -45. Connecting and disconnecting several times daily. NO issues, would highly recommend.

Question 2

Can someone list the overall outside diameter of this?  Not the hole diameter for installing but the total diameter of the mounting flange.

Accepted Answer

Everyone says three inches, but the part you need to know is the size hole to cut.  You will need a 2" hole saw to fit this, I mounted it on the drivers side fender, forward to the front wheel well.  You'll also need some stainless steel screws and a normal drill bit to make mounting holes.  (actual diameter of penetrating part is 1.92", so with a little room for proper fitment the 2" hole is perfect.

Question 3

What gauge thickness is the wire?  I will be plugging in the OEM engine block heater, battery blanket warmer, and a CTEK MUS 4.3 Polar charger .

Accepted Answer

It's three wire, 14avga.  You should be fine running two warmers and a trickle charger.  I'm running my block heater, a trickle charger and 600w cab heater...

Question 4

Can this come as a female outlet and if not, does anyone one know where I can find one?
