That is the inter vehicle cable used between the tractors and semi trailers. Should sell no problem if you can't use it.

Neil,
First time I tried to plug a trailer plug into my Deuce it wouldn't go. Turned out the female end on the Deuce was turned 90 deg. off from the locator slot in the housing. Had to take it apart and line it up properly then it went in just as it is supposed to. Might check that out if you already haven't.

Hey BC ,, I have not tried that yet. I will try both cables that way. I`d like to get to the bottom of this. How have you been?

Is it catching on something, or is the steel to big or too small ?
Could you take a pic of the connector from the front with a tape measure over it ?
Are you sure the connector on your truck is not messed up ?

Well Neil, I'm out of ideas. But I've been well. How is your heater install coming along? All done?

I assure you it will fit. I assure you it's a tractor trailer cable. Spray it down with silicone or WD, that may help. Some are just a bear to get in.

Sorry to disagree with you on this one Kenny,that's not a intervehicular cable for a tractor,they have male(pins exposed) ends on both ends.I just happen to have one here for the 10 tons,will post pics tomorrow evening.

Perhaps there are more than one design Brandon. That one looks exactly like the 2 I had on my 275. Both ends look the same the neds on this cable. Neil, have an NSN on that cable? Maybe I can find the NSN.

Seems a little short for the tractor-semitrailer cable, mine is about 10 ft long...
The "hot" contacts in any assembly should be female, so this cable should have one male and one female connector.
The NSN for mine is 2590-00-815-5925 (took a while to dig up).
