• Remove Jounce Bumpers to Install Air Helper Springs on 2014 Dodge Grand Caravan
• The yellow rubber inside the coil spring on your 2014 Dodge Grand Caravan is a jounce bumper. The jounce bumper is removed to install both the Air Lift # AL60814 and the Firestone # F4169 air helper springs. To remove the jounce bumper, you will pull the bumper out at an angle. You can remove the jounce bumper before or after you drill the grommet for your air line. I have attached the installation video of Air Lift Vehicle Suspension # AL60814 on a 2010 Grand Caravan for you.

• Adding Brake Controller to 2017 Dodge Grand Caravan w/Factory 7-Way but no 12 Volt or Brake Circuits
• The wires may already be in the factory connector and harness. They would not be loose like those in # ETBC7. If they are not in the factory wiring harness and connector already then It is possible that where the factory 7-Way plugs into another harness further forward on the 2017 Dodge Grand Caravan that there are additional wires that do not carry on all the way back to the connector. If so, you could test those wires with a circuit tester such as # PTW2993 to see if either of them...

• Options to Vent a Storage Compartment on an RV
• I actually like your first idea better because we have trailer vents that you can install on your door to help keep water spray away from the internal components. Our selection ranges from battery box vents like part # A10-3300BK-05 to ventilator like part # PLR20 to wall vents like part # HMAV2-AVT2. These options will not only help to give you ventilation while protecting your solar setup from the elements but they will also help to give you a clean looking installation. I recommend installing...

• How to Install Tekonsha Pigtail Wiring for Brake Controller on a 2019 Dodge Grand Caravan
• When installing wiring for a 7-Way on your 2019 Dodge Grand Caravan, like the Universal Installation Kit # ETBC7, it's less about the color wiring and more about what functions they are connected to in regards to the AWG. For example, the black and blue wires that come on this connector are actually 10 gauge instead of 12 gauge like what you have. You can definitely use 12 gauge wire but we just prefer to use the larger size for the brake controller and 12V power functions. The white...

• Installing a 7-Way Trailer Harness on a 2018 Dodge Grand Caravan
• I found your order and see that you arleady purchased: Draw-Tite trailer hitch receiver # 75579 Trailer Wiring Harness # HM11141995 Adapter # 37185 Brackets # 18138 and # 18140 All of which will work on your 2018 Grand Caravan and sounds like exactly what you need. The only exception is maybe substituting the long bracket # 18136 for the short # 18140 because there isn't always enough space using the short one with a 7-way. The adapter, # 37185, includes both a 4-way and 7-way connector....

• Is Adhesive Tape Used When Installing WeatherTech Air Deflectors On 2015 Dodge Grand Caravan
• When installing the WeatherTech Side Window Air Deflectors # WT82476, there is no adhesive strips used on the front deflectors. I have attached a link to an installation video for the deflectors on a 2015 Grand Caravan and as you can see in the video, the front deflectors just clip in to place and no adhesive is used. There is adhesive on the rear deflectors as shown in the video.

• How Many Amps Can the 10 Gauge Wire in the 7 and 4 Way Installation Kit, # ETBC7 Handle
• On the 7 and 4 Way Installation Kit, # ETBC7, the 40 amp circuit breaker attaches to the black 12 volt power wire on the 7-Way. This provides the connector with 12 volt power. The purple wire attaches to the reverse light circuit. The 10 gauge wire that comes with the ETBC7 harness can handle 40 to 45 amps at 12 volts DC power over a length of 25 feet. On most, if not all, passenger vehicles, the entire 25 feet of duplex cable will not be used just on the black wire to battery connection.

• Can Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver Tow Trailer With 2010 Dodge Grand Caravan
• You can absolutely tow a trailer with your 2010 Dodge Grand Caravan with the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # 13364. It is important you check your owner's manual for the towing capacities of your van, as you are limited by the lowest-rated component, be it the vehicle or hitch. This hitch has a 4,000 lb towing and 400 lb tongue weight capacity but if your van is rated for less you'll have to abide by those specs. If you do plan on towing you will also need a wiring harness, with the most...

• How Long Can SeaSucker Monkey Bars be Left on Vehicle
• Yes, the SeaSucker Monkey Bars part # 298-SX6000B can be left on for a week. Here's what Seasucker states: There’s no set time limit on our vacuum mounts. It depends in part on the surface you attach to, the condition of the vacuum mount, the load you put on it, and other factors. As for surfaces to attach to, vacuum mounts in general were designed to carry big sheets of glass and other solid surface materials, so smoother, flatter surfaces are ideal. Clean surfaces and clean SeaSuckers...

• Will Prodigy P2 and Primus IQ Use the Same Wiring Harness as the Pilot Brake Controller
• The Prodigy P2 # 90885 and Primus IQ # TK90160 brake controllers use the same wiring connector as the Pilot controller you have now. So you will not have to rewire the new controller. All you will have to do is mount the new controller in your van and plug it in.

• Transmission Cooler for 2016 Dodge Grand Caravan
• After installing an aftermarket transmission cooler, you typically do need to add a bit more transmission fluid to the system to compensate for adding the cooler. With a cooler as large as the Derale Series 8000 Transmission Cooler Kit # D13503, it would be a good idea to add additional fluid to the system. This kit includes the extra hose and hose clamps needed to install the additional cooler. Since your 2016 Dodge Grand Caravan does not have a dip stick and has a sealed transmission,...

• Can Bulldog Rack and Gear Jack be Mounted so the Handle is More to the Front of the Trailer
• Technically, yes, you can position and bolt down Bulldog rack and gear jack # BD018155 with # BD018006 so that the handle winds at the front of the trailer instead of to the side but it may not be the best fit. For what you want to do I recommend the Fulton F2 jack # F1413250334 which has more mounting options and a round bracket for a better fit. To this jack you can add a single wheel # F500266 if you wish.

• 2015 Dodge Caravan Weathertech 2nd Row Floor Mats With Stow And Go
• The WeatherTech 2nd and 3rd Row Rear Auto Floor Mat - Black # WT441414 will need to be moved to the side in order to use the stow and go function of the second row seats. The way they are cut will allow you to move one side at a time without removing the mat entirely, however, you also have that option. You cannot use the stow and go feature without moving the mat as it will block your access to the hatch.

• Installing a Trailer Brake Controller on a 2012 Dodge Caravan with Tow Package
• I spoke with a colleague who worked at Chrysler and he stated that they do not put the trailer hitch and 7-Way wiring on the Grand Caravan at the factory. That is something that the dealer installs. In any event here is what you will need to do. The brake controller will need to be hardwired into the vehicle. The white wire on the brake controller will need to get connected directly to the negative terminal on the vehicle battery. The black wire will need to connect to a 30 amp circuit...

• Installation of Curt Trailer Hitch # 13364 on 2018 Dodge Caravan
• When installing the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # 13364 you will use the 3 socket sizes, but the bolts are the 10 and 12mm bolts you referenced the torque values for. I reached out to my tech contact at Curt and the 18mm socket bolts will be the 12mm torque specs and the 15mm socket bolts will be the 10mm torque specs. The 13mm socket used for the exhaust hanger brackets will not have torque specs because of the function, so it is recommended to tighten 1/4...

• How Difficult Is Installation Of Trailer Hitch On 2014 Dodge Grand Caravan
• The attached video for a 2014 Dodge Grand Caravan shows where the locations are on the underside that need to be removed. These are installed at the factory, and should all be in the same locations as shown in the video. This hitch comes with installation instructions and should be a really simple install. I doubt you will have any problem. When you see the spacing for the bolt holes on the hitch you can see where they are on the underside of your van. It does require using a torque wrench...
