This has dimensions to fit your frame. I've attached a diagram to assist. You may be interested in # C22277 when not in use.

• Trailer Hitch for 2009 Sterling Bullet Heavy Duty Truck
• I have a solution for you, however there are not any bolt-on style trailer hitches made specifically for your 2009 Sterling Bullet C and C 5500. Instead, you could use a trailer hitch like the Curt Class V Universal Weld-on Receiver Hitch and Brakcets # 15901. This hitch features a 3 inch drop, is adjustable up to 44 inches wide, and has a 2 inch square hitch receiver. Weld-on brackets for the hitch can slide from 18 inches to nearly 44 inches. The hitch has a gross tow weight of 12,000...

• Electric Brakes Lock Up Everytime I Touch the Brakes
• I recommend starting with the 7-Way connector at the rear of your tow vehicle. Check for any corrosion or debris build-up inside the connector that might be causing a short and clean as needed. If the connector looks fine, use a multimeter like # PT89ZR to test for voltage at the brake circuit on the connector when you have the brakes applied using a low setting. With this setting, you should see a number well under 12 volts, as 12 volts is the maximum output of a brake controller. If...

• Solution for Needing Replacement Key for FIC Key 309
• The FIC you have on your RV door key means that it's a Fastec brand key which is different from what the Global Link key part # 295-000035 is designed to fit. There's a chance the key would work but it's harder to say. Best option we can provide is a new locking latch kit with the part # 295-000019 which gives you an all new setup with a matching key that if ever lost we could provide replacements for as well.

• Brake Controller Recommendation for 2008 Sterling Bullet (Dodge Ram) Truck
• With the # 3020-P, wiring harness, any of the Tekonsha brake controllers will plug right into the factory harness. The Tekonsha # 39523 PowerTrac brake controller would work for you, but I'd urge you to go with a proportional controller like the Tekonsha Primus, part # TK90160. A proportional controller will sense how quickly the tow vehicle is slowing, and will send the appropriate amount of power to the trailer brakes so the trailer and tow vehicle stop at the same rate for safer, more...
