Is there a way to get a short extension for my block heater chord so I don't have to open the hood to plug it up? Mine barely reaches to the front of the hood. :( Thanks

Yes, look at a good hardware store ot Home Depot. Make sure it is a heavy duty cord. I have seen them as short as 12 inches. :rolleyes:

You can actually pull it out of the plastic conduit. I routed mine to the passenger side tow hook and zip tied it. Give yourself enough slack to tuck it back behind the hook when not in use

Ditto I did the same thing. I leave mine inside the oblong hole in the front bumper. I snaked it through the front area and tie-wrapped it and wrapped it in black electrical flex coil Works great
