Snowblower Eats Block Heater Extension Cord

[HEMI®Dart]

It didn't happen today, but todays snow reminded me.

Got a snow storm the first year I had the truck, forgot the block heater extension cord was on part of the driveway. Snowblower auger grabbed it and stalled the machine. The shear bolts didn't break.


It was
wrapped up so tight around the auger's and gear case shaft, I ending up taking the whole auger assembly out to unwrap it. I was screamin #ad


So make sure your cord is not anywhere near where the snow blower is going to be. #ad

I had the same problem when I had my 93. Neighbor boy did the neighborly think by snowblowing my drive way for me. Three extension cords later, I gave up on plugging my truck in. Luckily for him, they were on a timer and were off at the time. #ad

Wondered what that orange thing was flopping around in the auger, I got the cord for the Xmas lights last month. That's why they make replacement ends, I wanted a 25 and 75footer anyway. #ad
