Compatible Models

We do our best to list all compatible models. Although this may be the part you need, your exact model may not appear below.

Compatible equipment / model
  • 1995-2003 Ford F-250 / F-350 with 7.3L Power Stroke and matching element

  • Selected 1995-2016 Ford diesel applications using cord 3600008; verify connector before ordering

Product Overview

If the block heater itself tests good but the plug is missing, brittle, burned, or corroded, the cord—not the heating element—is the repair. A sound connection lets the heater warm the engine before a cold start instead of leaving the truck tied to a damaged lead.

The cord connects a compatible 120-volt household outlet to the factory-style block-heater element. Route it away from the exhaust, steering, belts, and sharp brackets; a correct connector fit at the element is essential because Ford diesel heater designs can vary by engine and production date.

Compatibility Notice

Northline Parts does its best to list all known compatible models, but the correct part may fit an application not shown.

Model, production date, serial number, connector, dimensions, installed options, and previous repairs can affect fitment. Compare the original component and reference information before purchase.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Will this cord fix a heater that draws no current? A: Only if the cord is the open circuit. A burned-out heater element must be replaced separately.

Q: Can the cord remain plugged in while driving? A: No. Disconnect it from household power and secure the plug before starting or moving the truck.

Q: How do I confirm this is the correct part? A: Compare the heater-element terminal, plug style, cord length, engine, model year, and routing clips with the existing installation.

Q: Is this supplied by the original equipment manufacturer? A: No. This is a new aftermarket item. Brand, model, and part numbers are used only to identify compatible applications.
