Like the subject says I have a '95 K2500 that has a cord (like an extension
cord) cable tied up on the passenger side near the engine. I saw it and
thought maybe previous owner was using it to tie something up. I couldn't
tell where the end went though. I found something like a trouble light in
there too (basically just a 12v bulb connected to a cord that you wind up).
So my question is could the "extension cord" looking..male 120V plug be an
option that I am not aware of? Any ideas?

Likely, a heater - could be for oil, or could be it circulates / warms
coolant. This gives you quicker starts in the Northern areas, and
"instant on" heat. It's a male plug, because, if you keep an extension
cord near the parked truck.. the extension would have a female
receptacle for 110v.

In Western NY, some parking meters have pigtails - so you can keep the
car/ truck warm while inside doing business.
