EastMark Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 (edited) I have an F150 Lariat ordering a F250 Lariat. I swapped my lightweight Boss 7'6" stainless plow with down pressure to my other 150 now will swap to the 250.. Perfect for my Maine 600' gravel driveway. This is how they set my plug when switching from my other truck to this one. Ive always wondered if there is a better / neater way to install the plugs. Id rather they tucked away better for the warmer months if theres a better way. What are you guys doing on your SD trucks ? Pictures ? BTW, Why do we block our license plate anyway? Ha !

George C Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 I run a Fisher XLS on my 2015 GMC 2500HD for plowing. I do what I think everyone does with a DD plow, and that’s to tuck the cables away behind the grille in the summer. I like lots of slack, so hard mounting them anywhere is out of the question.

sd350 Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 Same here I push them back behind the front lic plate holder, I have plenty of room & enough wire to do so, all my trucks have been that way once they got away with them being permanently wire tied to the grill that's going back a few years.

EastMark Posted October 30, 2022 Author Share Posted October 30, 2022 The smaller plug could fit thru the narrow lower but the large one is too big to push back thru on this current F150 grill. Maybe the grill configuration on the 23 SD will allow for it to push thru for summer. Im sure at some point there will be closeup shots of all the different 23 grills out there. It isn’t a huge deal but it could look better. I just know that there is likely folks here that have figured out a better way than I have ! Appreciate the suggestions on what else works for others. Thanks for the input. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. Thats how it was on my last F150. It worked great. When they swapped it over last time they set it up where it wont push thru on this truck.

EastMark Posted October 31, 2022 Author Share Posted October 31, 2022 Ive now seen several pictures of various grilles on 23’s. Looks like there will be a large space maintained behind the front plate as you guys mentioned you put the plow cables. I will be glad to tuck the wires away when not in use again ! Thanks for the input. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George C Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 With winter coming, a reminder guys. Use plenty of dielectric grease on the plugs. Nothing is worse than having a connection issue when plowing in a blizzard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastMark Posted October 31, 2022 Author Share Posted October 31, 2022 Good advice. I use De-ox-it spray to clean inside them and blow them out with air and then the dielectric grease. The deoxidizer spray works ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
