- I don't have any specifics on an International TerraStar but I do know a lot of these types of trucks use a 24 volt electrical system which will not work with most electric trailer brake controllers. However, we do have one that will work with 24 volt electrical systems as well as 12 volt electrical systems in the Redarc Tow-Pro Elite Trailer Brake Controller part # RED44FR. The Redarc Tow-Pro Elite is actually a really great option because in addition to the 24 volt compatibility has both...

view full answer... - Oil Cooler Recommendation for a 1979 International Scout II with 345 Cubic Inch V8
- For your 1979 International Scout II I recommend # D15405 for an oil cooler. This cooler will fit engine filter thread sizes 3/4"-16, 13/16"-16, 18 mm x 1.5 mm, 20 mm x 1.5 mm and 22 mm x 1.5 mm. So as long as the stock O-ring diameter is 2-3/4 or 3-1/2 inches you can use this kit.
If the O-ring is a different size let me know along with the thread size for the filter and I can make other recommendations but I am 99% sure that the 345 uses 3/4-16 and a 3-1/2 inch O-ring.

- The Roadmaster Rear Anti-Sway Bar and Axle Plate Kit if you don't have autochains # RM-1179-112-00 is the correct fit for your chassis and if you do have autochains, then # RM-1179-112 is the correct fit. This anti-sway bar will install behind the rear axle, but is designed to work with the air bag system so it does not interfere. I've attached a photo of the installation instructions that clearly show the air bag as well as the fit.

- The issue is that semi trucks have the stop lights separate from the turn signals and standard trailer wiring like what the Hopkins Magnetic Tow Lights part # C6304 has these two circuits are on the same wire. So you'd have to wire in a signal converter like the Roadmaster # RM-732 so that the two circuits would be on same wire.

- We are going to need to know the wheel bolt pattern on your trailer before we can pick out replacement wheels. The wheel you referenced # LHACK133 has an 8 on 6-1/2 inch bolt pattern. I attached a help article that covers determining bolt patterns as well.
What capacity axles do you have on your trailer? Most likely they are 3,500 since that is the very common capacity for 10 inch assemblies. For that you would need the part # AKEBRK-35R-SA for the right hand side and # AKEBRK-35L-SA for...

- In order to install a trailer brake controller like the Hopkins Agility # HM47294 that you referenced on your 1989 International S1900, you will need to first install an RV style 7-Way connector if one is not already present.
