I need to replace the electrical cord on my block heater for a 1983 ford ranger.

The cord is damage at the plug end that plugs in on the engine side, i know i can purchase a hole unit but if possible i rather just replace the cord.

The plug on the cord has a funky end kind shape like a triangle, and the block heater itself looks to have no place to place a wrench to remove, the block heater sits flush with the block except a little piece that sticks out that the electrical cord would plug into.

If anyone would have any suggestions it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Chuck

See if this part number is what you have
E3TZ-6D008

Or this E9TZ-6D008

several pictures on ebay

You might find the cord at a wrecker, usual practice was to attach that cord to the heater and the other end just inside the front grill or similar location so you just needed to plug it in an extension cord, no popping the hood.
And diesel or gas would use the same Ford heater....and cord
