I had to replace the plug for the stock block heater. Has anyone else had to replace theirs? Mine had two of the three wires broken off from the plug.

I'd suggest a heavy-duty plug designed for outdoor use from your local big-box home improvement or hardware store. Luckily, it's just a heating element (no circuitry), so it really barely matters if you even get the hot and neutral conductors right.

There have been a couple people this year that had the plug/cord go bad. I spliced in a cord temporary until summer when I will replace the cord with OEM. I bought one from my Jeep dealer for about $20. Cheep enough, just too cold to work out in the garage.
