OK so now the heater element is not giving me a ohm reading so I think its shot. Since I have the extra heater element I need to switch them out. You guys have any idea on how much coolant I am going to loose? and maybe any pointers before I get this under way?

Depends how quick you are with getting the new one in the hole. I don't think will lose more the a few quarts if you are quick enough.

It's available at my local ACE Hardware, but then again my local ACE has a RV and marine department. Look for a 30 amp Marinco AC fitting. They aren't cheap at nearly $75 for one end, and they AREN'T spring loaded, they're twist to lock.

Thanks Yooper! I remembered from installing the coolant filter that you can leave the coolant system alone and it kinda has like a vacuum in the system making the water glug when it comes out. So just like Indiana Jones I switched that plug out in one glug. I probably lost less than 12oz. Of course all 12 landed on me. Thankfully its 41 out today
Now on to the bumper mounted plug that I have been putting off for however many years.

1200 Watts divided by 120volts is 10 amps.
so the 20amp Marinco plug is more than adequate.

True, but the 30 amp Marinco is easier to find. I've seen 30 amp and 50 amp, but I haven't seen a 20 amp in any of the stores I frequent.
You can buy a 20amp plug for the end of the Ext. cord (Cheaper too).. file a grove in that third lug so it will interface with the 30amp Marinco receptical, on the truck.
