Bushpilot,
Forgive my stupid question, but how did you mount the Marinco plug to your truck?

its been a while but i either bend a bit of metal and cut a hole in
it or i bought a mount/bracket for the large trailer plug and used it.

Talking about block heaters. I have a 06 F350. When I plug in the heater it pops the GFI. It's a 20 amp. Any ideas of wear to start troubleshooting? Thanks.

I'd start with the GFI and assume that it may be weak. The block heater is 1100 watts so @ 120 volts you are pulling 9.16 amps. If its not the GFI look into the cord for a short.

mine popped also. tried 3 different cords 3 different nites. just found out this week the cord is shot. $45 for a new one. have not purchased it yet, they wanted $170 to install it......
It is worth the $400 just to see someone get nailed in the head with the plug and cord as they walk behind the Engine as it is being started.Them boogers really EJECT!
um... there are cell phones that take video now...
and this website called Youtube...

yup thats a great timer, rated at 1800w itll handle the load...
if you desire different programing (for the weekends for instance)
you can step up to the digital (7day) unit in my 'block heater'
signature link.
you could even go w/ a REMOTE CONTROL-ABLE set up...
like
the only problem i see w/ a remote-control set up is, unless
you connect some light bulb its difficult to CONFIRM that the block
heater/outlet is actually ON (or off)
