Thanks for the heads up on fuse. I also changed my plugs today. What a hassle, if I still have it the next 70,000 miles I'm paying to have it done. Book calls for 2.90 hours but sometimes they break a few plugs depending on what year you have. Both my "power port" and cig lighter work. Maybe I lucked out on mine. I changed the rear end grease and it was almost new but still put in new. Still over $100.00 bill doing it myself. Royal purple 75w-140 is 20.00 a quart! Clue to the newer diff oil was newer gasket stuff and a brand new shiny axle tube. And noticed the rubber bushing for the sway bar was not put back on after axle tube replacement. And something I have been putting off is a coolant change and I understand that is real important for the triton type design engines. That will be next.
You said
I will be looking to buy a cigarette lighter dummy plug to protect the socket.
I have found a new use for mine. I saw a cheap (under $10.00) a gadget that plugs into lighter socket and gives a reading if alternator is charging and condition of chassis battery, just little LED lights and sticks out about 2 inches but what a perfect knob to hang the litter bag on.

Thanks again
