Plugging the Truck in at Night?

[cumminsdieselfreak]

No to your first question, Yes to your second.

My engine block heater and 2 amp Noco trickle charger are plugged into a three-way adapter with a single Noco AC Port (see photos).

The charger is just attached to the top of the fuse box with velcro.

I am plugged into a timer, so the heater and charger come on 4 hours prior to my morning departure.

Does the charger play nicely with your MM3?

I may do this when it gets warmer.

Absolutely no issues at all.

Also no longer seeing the harmless but pesky “Battery Saver Mode” during freezing temperatures.

Do you have the link to where you purchased it?

Bob, I need to work on getting that plug installed. I have an oil pan heater, tranny heater and the block heater running. It is also on a timer that comes on 3 hours prior to starting. If the wife is nice she lets me park in the garage and thaw it out once and awhile. But only if she is nice.

I purchased the GCP1 receptacle and Noco 2 Amp charger and battery harness from Amazon prime.
PS: you didn’t need the battery harness if you opt to remove the leads from the supplied battery clamps.

Three way Power adaptor plugged into engine heater, charger and receptacle.

I used the Geno's plug on mine. it can be put in several different places on the bumper depending on what you want.

I think they have one for basically all gens too.

No problem just do a quick check of your amp draw.

The GCP1 is good for up to 13 amps.

I draw 5 amps with my engine block heater and charger going.

Just wanted to mention that most of the time I remote start my truck with charger and block heater plugged in and energized.

No ill effects to charger, block heater or truck.

Just don’t forget to unplug before you leave.

I am still using the 15 minutes maximum. I don’t know if there’s any way to change it.
