  • Rear SumoSprings for 2020 Fleetwood Bounder on Ford F-53 Chassis
  • For the rear axle on your motorhome's Ford F-53 chassis the correct SumoSprings Helper Spring kit is the part # SSR-180-54-1. I verified this with SuperSprings. These durable high-density urethane springs will provide up to 5,600 pounds of load-leveling support and will absolutely improve your ride by reducing sway and creating a more level setup. I have attached a sample installation video below that you can also check out. The SumoSprings Rebel Custom Helper Springs # SSR-101-47-2...

  • What Is the Weight Capacity of the Buyers Products Fabricators Hitch Plate
  • The Buyers Products Fabricators Hitch Plates like part # 3371809042 are not given a weight capacity by the manufacturer. This is because the weight capacity will largely be dependent on how securely it is mounted. The highest rated pintle hook we offer for this is the Buyers Pintle Hook with Mounting Kit part # 33710042 which is rated for up to 40,000 lbs so the above plate will handle this so long as it is attached correctly.

  • Is there a Reese Super Titan Trailer Hitch that Bolts On for a 2004 Ford F-750 Funmover RV
  • There is a bolt on version of the Draw Tite Super Titan trailer hitches. It is # 38208. Since the Super Titan hitches are not designed for specific vehicles, you will want to look at the instructions and compare them to your vehicle frame to determine if it will fit. It may require additional customization by a professional hitch installer.

  • Brake Controller Solution for 2021 Ford F-750
  • To install a brake controller on your 2017 Ford F750 you will need to hardwire it as there are no factory plugs under the dash. There will be some wires located under your dash that are located on the driver side. You will simply need to use a Circuit Tester # PTW2993 to test them although sometimes manufacturers will label the wiring. I recommend installing the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 # 90195 as it is very easy to install and features a user-friendly LCD screen that doesn't use codes like...

  • Can Tekonsha Prodigy P2 Install on Truck with Air Brakes
  • Electric brake controllers can install on trucks with air brakes without issue since they use the brake light circuit for activation and then this controller then uses an inertia sensor to sense how hard you apply the brakes and then apply a relative amount on the trailer brakes. If you were seeing the brakes lock up when the pedal was touched that would indicate that you probably had the brake light circuit ran straight to the output circuit of the brake controller wiring which would...

  • How Much Drop Does the Buyers Products 2 inch Pintle Hook Mount Provide?
  • Since the Buyers Products 2" Pintle Hook Mount - 6 Position - 12-1/4" Shank item # 337PM812 is just a mounting plate with no specific attachment installed it doesn't have a listed rise or drop. Considering the 12-1/4 inch tall mounting surface has vertical hole spacing of 1-3/4" and the 2 inch shank, I estimate you could see somewhere between 8-10 inches of drop. I recommend the Curt Pintle Hook - Bolt On - 10,000 lbs item # C48205.

  • Where Is the Brake Controller Port On An Entegra Coach Vision Motorhome
  • The Entegra Coach Vision is built on a Ford F-53 Chassis which means there should be a pre-wired brake controller port under the dash. The exact location of this port can vary but most likely it will be on the left side of the steering column support which you can see shown in the attached photo. If you don't already have a brake controller in mind, the Tuson DirecLink Base Model Trailer Brake Controller part # 335DL-100 gets my approval as it is one of the most advanced controllers on...

That will be the circuit to use for the red wire. I also attached a link to a page on...

  • It sounds like you're looking for air bag suspension for your 2005 Ford F-650. While we don't carry traditional air bag suspension for this, we do carry a variety of jounce-style suspension for it. These have the benefit of not needing constant maintenance and also working progressively with the amount of weight in your bed, making the ride more comfortable when unloaded. For your rear axle, I recommend the Timbren Enhancement System, part # TBDR750. These will reduce your truck's sag...

  • Building a Complete Trailer Axle with Wheels that Have a 5 on 5 Bolt Pattern
  • We have what you need here! To start with your axle, we have two choices depending on the length of axle you need.

  • Can Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Brake Controller be Installed on 2019 Ford F-750 Super Duty
  • You should be able to install the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 # 90195 on your 2019 Ford F-750 Super Duty by splicing into existing wires under your driver-side dash, but you'll need to use a circuit tester like part # PTW2979 to do so as I haven't been able to find a wiring diagram to show what wires are for what function. Below is a list of the wiring connections that need to be made with the pigtail that comes with the P3: Black - 12V Power Blue - Brake Controller Pin on 7-Way White - Ground Red...

  • Malfunctioning AC Unit On A 2003 E450 Bus V10 After Removing A Wheelchair Lift
  • If you removed a wheelchair lift and then your Atwood Air Command Rooftop RV Air Conditioner w/ Heat Pump - 15,000 Btu - Ducted - White Item # AT15028-22 stopped working I'd say it was either wired into the lift somehow or the wire running from it was somehow damaged during removal of the lift wiring. I would start by tracing the wiring from the unit to and looking for and bends, damage, or lose connections. You can also rerun the wiring from the unit to a dedicated 20amp circuit using...

  • Timbren Helper Spring Fit for 2007 Ford F-650
  • The Timbren # TBDR750 measures about 9-1/2 inches in height, from the bottom of the spring to the top of the mounting bracket, so that's not going to work for you. I spoke to my Timbren representative, and was told that given the 6 inches of clearance you have between the axle tube and the underside of the frame member, you'd want to use part # TFR650LP. The # TFR650LP sits right about 5-1/2 inches tall which will leave a 1/2 inch gap, which according to Timbren is acceptable, as they'll...

  • Easy to Install Brake Controller Recommendation for 2009 Ford F-750
  • I have a really easy to use Curt brake controller solution for your 2009 Ford F-750 but we don't have any plug and play solutions like you are wanting. Instead though we have the Curt Echo Mobile part # C51180 which basically just plugs into an active 7-way and once synced to a smart phone is ready to tow. It's also a proportional brake controller which means it senses how hard you are applying the vehicle brakes and applies a proportional amount of braking pressure.

  • Can New Holes Be Drilled for Ram Gooseneck Coupler Inner Tube
  • Thanks or reaching out, Paul! If you want the handle for the Ram Gooseneck Coupler w/ Load Bearing Pin # GCSQ-25008 to be forward-facing then you'll want to weld it on in that orientation. If you were to drill a whole new set of holes in the inner tube that would make the inner tube weaker and we'll want to avoid that.

  • Troubleshooting P2 Wiring on 2006 Ford F-650 with Air Brakes and Commercial 7-Pin Trailer Connector
  • If you have the 7-pin heavy duty connector, you need to make sure the brake controller is on the center pin and not the 5 o'clock position like the 7-way RV standard. The 7-pin and the 7-blade have different locations for functions, that your adapter takes into account. You will want to add the P2 # 90885 output to the correct location. I've attached a photo to assist.
