Anyone elses block heater plug get so hot it starts to melt the plug on the extension cord?? Been plugging mine in for about 45mins each morning for the past week or so since nightly temps have been in the low 50s and high 40s. The plug is always warm when I unplug it but I just noticed that the plug on the extension cord was starting to melt this morning. Here's a pic.
Also I went on a 200mile round trip to the mountains this past week and the morning after the trip I had a no start situation. Jumped the starter solenoid on the fenderwell and was able to start it. Replaced the solenoid, still had the same issue. GPs come on and cycle properly but the start position on the ignition cylinder seems to be dead... I'm NOT tearing apart this steering column to fix it so I'm going to run a momentary switch from the solenoid so I don't have to pop the hood every time I start it.... Unless someone thinks it could be an issue somewhere else.
Hope y'all have a diesel day dudes and ladies!
