If no one else has mentioned it--that screw in looking thing is a slave cable port. 24 volts--so you can start your truck with someone else's or vice versa with the aid of a salve cable. older deuces have two prong plugs while new ones use a single prong plug.
I like the video! How about a walk around video or pics of your rig? It looks like a really nice driver. Did not seem too noisy and steers nice and straight.
