It goes from the block drain, to the heater, then to the passenger side heater hose coming from the heater core. So yeah, I have it setup the same way as you, except my T fitting is pointed differently. I had mine mounted towards the front of the truck, so I had to point it forward.

not cool yet? You will love it. I have mine on a timer to come on 3 hours before i leave in the morning. The heater will pull 12.5 amps 1500/120=12.5 amps

well I am using a 240v electric hot water tank timer for mine then have it split into 2 120v rec out by my truck. But you can buy a waterproof 120v timer you plug into a rec them plug your extension cord into the timer. Just get one that will break at least 1500 watt/12.5 amps.
You could use something like this

Ah, I an looking around. I need TWO of them because i will be doing my Wife's car next weekend. I doubt they make one that can hold up for TWO at the same time (Without getting an electrician involved.)
I will probably run mine from the garage plug and my wife's from the outdoor plug.
Now I need to get the extension cords and the timers.

Is the garage plug and outdoor plug on the same circuit?
I think that 15 amp is the highest amp rating plug in timer you can get. But its fine because you wont be able to run both heaters on one 20amp circuit anyway
