[Donnie Yukonie]

did these trucks have winter packages on them? today as i was looking at the steering box they replaced i noticed a plug shown in the picture ive never noticed on this truck ? the only thing i can think of is a block warmer am i right or way off?

you either had the block heater option or some one put it in.

it looks factory from what i can tell i also looks as if it was never used but was this an option or a mod?

I have one. My cap is still intact though. Not really sure what the point of it is in the states on a gas engine.

They came as an option and are very easy to install if you dont already have it, which you do.
