I should also share that i DID NOT cut the PLUG off @ the front of
the truck (figured you never know, might not be able to back the truck
in one day).
I Applied some dielectric grease to the factory plug....plugged in my
cord/extension and taped it up w/ some electrical tape...THEN i ran
the new (HEAVY Gauge) cord to the rear of the truck...where i
mounted & connected the marinco outlet.
this way...if i ever need to get to the factory plug its still there...at the
front of the truck....just cut the weather proofing (aka tape) off it &
pull it apart for use @ the front.
