I wonder if hers is routed so that it comes out of the hole next to the fog light on her truck! If so then yes it is a small hole to get a hand in or out of. No wise cracks Mayfair.

This might be her answer from genos garage ...
WIGIDIGIT BLOCK HEATER BUMPER PLUG ('03 AND UP TRUCKS)
Item Number : WD-BHP
Unit Price: $34.95
Detailed Description
The block heater provided on the Cummins Turbo Diesel makes for quick warm-ups on cold mornings, and it is almost a necessity in the norther latitudes. But, rooting around behind the bumper in cold, soggy weather just to find and uncover the plug can certainly discourage its use.
Install a WigiDigit Block Heater Bumper Plug on your truck, and you have the heater connection located on a fixed position right up front behind a flip-open, waterproof cover. One hand can snap open the cover then plug in the power cord.
Installation consists of simply wiring in the 15-amp Marinco Connect Charge (TM) inlet plug into the factory block heater cord, and mounting the black, powder-coated bumper plate with one stainless steel bumper bolt

03 and up?! We can rig it! I'll check around and see if any consist for the 01'. Yeah it gets a little chilly when the slush has built up in that area. Frozen wet hands and a pain to plug in- makes bad recipe when I come home and have to fetch dinner after all that work![:@] Yes it does come out of the pain in the butt hole for the the fogs. Good job Mayfair! ya held it back so far! LOL
Drew- great idea- why didn't I thinkl of that! Funny thing is when its icy on the bumper( I have to climb in the truck literally) I go for a ride straight to the gravel. Laugh everytime! Use the tires now! I got smart! Low on oil again though- only 77k miles on her-
Give er' a checkup in tha morning!

Hey Demon, where di d you get the box that your using on your back bumper. That's more in line with what I'd like to have.
I don't need that 150.00 fancy pop out box ( although it IS nice ).

Mayfair,...it's a heavy duty Hubbell electrical box. Go to an electrical supply house. Home Depot type places don't seem to carry anything as heavy. I used a 10 gauge extension cord (16 feet long) with a threaded, waterproof compression fitting into the box. I ran the wire through convoluted tubing (loom?), and then all along the driver's side frame rail next to the brake/fuel lines. I use a triple tap like you saw before topside.
You KNOW you want to do it. Go buy the box. Treat yourself to a Xmas present.....lol.
Peace my friend.
