• Tool used to Remove the Rivets that Hold the Taillight Assembly on a 2002 Dodge Grand Caravan
• That handy-dandy tool you see in the videos is a trim panel tool. We have # PT73HJ as an option that you could use. I advise against using vice grips as it will tear up the pins. You could use a smaller claw hammer if available. A very small pry bar (crow bar) could work as well. I suppose you could wedge two spoons under it and pry it out that way. Depending on how tight they are you might bend the spoons. If you had a very flat wrench it might work the same as the trim panel tool.

• What Is the Warranty of the etrailer 3,200-Watt Portable RV Inverter Generator
• The 3,200-Watt Portable RV Inverter Generator part # 333-0003 comes with a two year warranty. That said, we have had extremely positive reviews from these generators so it is unlikely you would ever need to use the warranty. We also have tons of replacement parts if anything were to happen outside of the warranty period as well. In regards to repairs, the amount of time to complete this would largely vary based on the issue. The headquarters for Firman (manufacturer) is located in AZ so...

• Can Dual Hitch Receiver Carry Bike Rack and Cargo Carrier and Bike Rack at Same TIme
• Unfortunately, you wouldn't be able to use a dual hitch adapter like # D-192 for that, as having one accessory installed would prevent you from installing one in the other receiver. They just wouldn't fit. We do have the perfect solution for you though. I'd go with the Hollywood Racks # HR1450Z-85 SportRider SE which can carry two bikes weighing up to 50 lbs each and up to 100 lbs of cargo. If that option doesn't offer enough cargo capacity, I'd typically recommend installing a front...

• Weight Distribution System For Trailer Being Towed By Two Different Vehicles
• Weight distribution is recommended when your fully-loaded ready-to-tow trailer weighs more than half of your towing vehicle weight. Another reason is when the tail lights are pointed upward or the rear end of the towing vehicle is sagging. One method for determining the tongue weight is to use a scale like part # 5780. This is the Sherline tongue weight scale and it has a 2,000-lb capacity. As you add weight to your trailer like a generator or potable water, it will depend where the...

• Federal Requirement for Trailer Lighting and Best Options for Adding Lights to a Utility Trailer
• There are minimum lighting requirements for trailers that vary based on trailer size and weight, but to our knowledge there are no maximum limits for trailer lights, provided that all the mandatory lighting is installed. We've recapped the federal requirements in the linked article which will give you specifics. I am sure there is a law enforcement officer out there somewhere that might pull over a motorist for having what he/she considers "excessive" trailer lighting, lighting that is...

• Do Drum Brake Assemblies Have Emergency Brakes?
• For an emergency brake system, we recommend a break away kit like the Pro Series # 50-85-315, because trailers aren't designed exactly like passenger vehicles that come equipped with an extra parking brake. This breakaway kit has a battery attached and will send a power signal to your brakes to engage when the unit senses the pull cord has been removed. I have linked a helpful picture of what the inside of the pull pin unit looks like for you to better understand how it functions. The...

• Is B&W BWGNRK1394 Permanently Attached to Truck Bed of 1996 Dodge Ram
• If you compare the provided side by side photo of the B&W # BWGNRK1394 Turnover Ball gooseneck hitch, which is a fit for the 1996 Dodge Ram to the photo you kindly provided, I'd call that a match. The square ball, the positioning of the safety chain loops and even the finger hook bar in the recess of the gooseneck ball all match. The round housing surrounding the ball isn't attached to the bed, but the safety chain loops are bolted to the hitch center assembly with the bed sandwiched in...

• Which Wire Is For The Reverse Lights On 2001 Dodge Grand Caravan
• The wiring colors on vehicles can vary from different vehicle years, makes and models. To determine which wire is the reverse light wire on your 2001 Dodge Grand Caravan you will need to use a circuit tester, part # PTW2993 to determine the wire function. You will need someone to assist you in this process. Have someone turn the key of your 2001 Dodge Grand Caravan to the on position so that there is power to the vehicle, the engine does not need to be running. Then, have them engage...

• Can the Pop and Lock Powered Tail Gate Lock be Opened if it Fails in the Locked Position
• Presumably if you have a bed cover of some kind, even if it locks, you would be able to open it because it has its own separate keys. Then you would get into the bed and have to remove the access panel on the tail gate to disengage the lock. If for whatever reason you could not get into the truck bed my contact at Pop and Lock said there are 2 possible options. First, if it is a mechanical issue and not an electrical one, a locksmith may be able to jimmy the latches on the sides of the...

• How To Determine Which Pin Box I Have and What Replacements Are Available
• I spoke with my contact at Trailair and from your serial number we were able to determine that your trailer came with a 1621 HD pin box which is a long pin box style. I was unable to obtain the exact part number for your Trailair pin box but from the picture that you provided, it looks as though someone may have replaced the original long style pin box with a medium style. In order to determine this you will just need to take a quick measurement from the back row of bolts to the center...

• Can Tee Fitting Be Used For Single Inflation Point on Firestone Ride Rite Air Helper Springs
• You can absolutely do that, it's very common. You'll need the # F3025-1 tee fitting which would allow you to add/remove air using a single Schrader valve, instead of two. The only instance where I'd recommend against doing this is if you were planning on carrying loads that aren't centered on the truck bed, where it'd be advantageous to have the ability to adjust the pressure in each bag independently. Otherwise, what you're proposing to do will work just fine for you.

• Will Using Roadmaster Fuse Bypass Shut Off Clock and Cause Radio Presets to Be Lost
• It very well might. Different circuits are affected in different vehicles. The reason you pull the fuse or bypass it is to prevent the vehicle battery from being discharged while its being flat towed. Try pulling the involved fuse first for a few seconds, and then replacing it. If you lose the clock and radio presets, you know that using the fuse bypass will cause the same thing.

• Trailer Hitch, Wiring and Towing Capacity of 2005 Dodge Ram 1500
• I took a look at the owner's manual for a 2005 Dodge Ram 1500, and it stated that with at least a Class III hitch such as the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # 13333 the truck was capable of towing up to 5,000 lbs. I have added a link to a video install of this hitch on a Ram for you to check out. Additionally, if your '05 Ram 1500 does not have a factory connector to power your trailer's lights you can add one with the Tail Light Converter Hardwire Kit w/ 4-Pole Connector # 119178KIT.

• Will Boat Cover Prevent Mildew On Interior Of Boat In Storage
• The Classic Accessories DryGuard Waterproof Boat Cover, part # CA20083, is designed to keep the interior of your boat dry and clean. The PVC-free fabric resists mildew, and is resistant to UV rays. This cover has two rear-air vents that have built-in stiffeners and allows moisture on the interior to escape. Although there is no guarantee to eliminate mildew completely, the vents will help reduce the chance for condensation build-up and mildew. I would recommend removing the cover occasionally...

• How Much Does Hitch Extender Reduce Tongue Weight Capacity
• The answer is actually pretty simple, because using any type of hitch adapter, including a hitch extender, reduces the capacity of your trailer hitch by 50 percent, and that includes both the towing capacity and the tongue weight capacity. I am not certain what the tongue weight capacity of the hitch on your 2006 Dodge Ram 2500 is, but using the Curt Hitch Extender for 2" Trailer Hitches - 14" Long # C45795 or the Curt Hitch Extender for 2" Receivers -18" Long # C45796 will reduce that...

• Visibility of LED on Curt Echo Wireless Trailer Brake Controller
• The LED's on your Curt Echo Wireless Trailer Brake Controller # C51180 illuminate in blue to indicate device not connected, green when it is connected, yellow when calibrating, and red to indicate a fault. Being able to see the LED lights are not that important unless you are troubleshooting an issue or to see status during pairing. Once you are connected/paired to your smart phone the same information that the the indicator lights provide is also, and more easily, viewed from connected...
