Hopkins Tow Bar Wiring 48955 Review Video

The Hopkins #48955 taillight diode kit can indeed be used to drive the running /brake lights on your Captiva like a three function lamp, without using the amber bulb for a turn signal. See the diagram I provided, and I'll also send you a copy as…

You can flat tow a 2000 Nissan Frontier 4x4 with a manual transmission with speed restriction of 60 mph. If you have the automatic transmission, you can flat tow if you use a drive shaft coupling disconnect. We do not carry this product, but I can…

The easiest way to cut the oval hole for the Rubber Grommet, #a70gb, in my opinion, would be to use a Light Mounting Bracket for 6-1/2 inch Oval Trailer Lights, BK70BB, as a template and then use a hole saw the correct size to cut a hole on each end…

Since wire color codes are NOT universal, we always recommend wiring by function, rather than wire color. If you look at the Trailer Wiring FAQ article I have linked you to, you can see some diagrams showing the proper way to wire a vehicle and…

You can use an isolating diode kit like #48955 to prevent tail light back-feeding in your flat towing set-up. Each stop and turn circuit (4 in total) will need a diode to allow signals to travel in only one direction, without back-feeding to the RV.

Manufacturers can change the wire colors at any time, so you want to test the wiring with a circuit tester like part #PTW2993 to make sure you find the right wires when installing wire harness. We do have a chart that shows what color wires are…

The Air Lift Air Helper Spring Cradles #AL59DQ are not going to be compatible with the Air Lift LoadLifter 7500 XL Ultimate Air Helper Springs #AL57589 on your 2021 Ram 2500. This is due to the 7500 springs being larger in diameter than the 5000…

The Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 #AL88200 will work with the Air Lift Air Helper Spring Cradle #AL59DQ on your 2013 Ford F-150. The cradle actually replaces the lower roll plate so the air bag will sit directly in the cradle. I'm not sure how much of…

I definitely understand how safety chain capacities and determining exactly what chain rating you need for your trailer can be a bit confusing. To keep it as simple as possible, safety chain requirements state that the breaking strength of EACH…
