  • Wider Tire Replacement for a 145/R12 Trailer Tire
  • The closest tire size we have to what you are looking for is a 175/80-13 which measures 24.1" diameter x 7" wide. This new size will be 2.8" larger in diameter and 1.3" larger in width than the 145/R12 tires that you have now. Please note that only half of this measurement will be applied to the top and sides. Unfortunately, we do not carry any 155/60-13 or 165/60-13 trailer tires nor is this a common trailer tire size. I recommend the Provider ST175/80R13 Radial Trailer Tire part # TTWTRTM1758013C....

  • Testing Wires of 2004 Dodge Ram for Wiring In Brake Controller
  • We don't have the exact color functions for your brake controller wiring but we can help you determine that as long as you have a circuit tester like the part # PTW2993. You'd need to test the wires and the one with voltage all the time goes to the black wire of your brake controller. The one with voltage only when the brake pedal goes to the red wire. Ground the tester to the constant 12-volt power wire, then probe the remaining two wires.  The wire that lights the tester will be the...

  • Is Supplemental Transmission Cooler Really Needed for 2007 Grand Caravan SXT with Factory Cooler
  • Nearly all vehicles that benefit from a supplemental transmission cooler have a factory transmission cooler built into the radiator like what your 2007 Grand Caravan SXT has. Since the factory cooler is connected to the radiator that means the heat from the coolant flowing through the radiator is going to keep the factory transmission cooler warmer than ideal. In nearly every situation a supplemental transmission cooler will give the transmission of any vehicle a longer life since heat...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver for 2003 Dodge 1500 Conversion Van with Some Plastic Exterior
  • For your friend's 2003 Dodge 1500 Conversion Van, the Draw-Tite Max-Frame # 75140 is a great option that will fit well. The plastic components on those conversion vans are mostly on the front, sides, and wheel wells. It really doesn't utilize anything other than the standard rear bumper which this hitch will fit very well. If you will be towing with this hitch, I recommend the Tekonsha 4-Pole Hardwire Kit with Circuit Tester # 18252 which also includes the quick splice connections. Finally,...

  • How To Install a 7-Way Trailer Connector On a 2004 Dodge Ram 1500
  • Yes, it is very possible to install/fit a 7-way trailer connector on a 2004 Dodge Ram 1500. I first recommend looking under the vehicle for a square ten pin connector. This (if present) will be located behind the rear bumper near the spare tire and will match the end of the 7- and 4-Pole Trailer Connector Socket part # HM40975-11933 which is what I recommend using if this connector is present. If you don't have the above square ten pin connector then you will need to start with a 4-way,...

This rack is a semi custom rack that is confirmed as a fit for your 2009 Dodge Charger, but if you wanted a rack that's custom fit for your vehicle and will fit better the Rhino Rack part numbers # RRVA126B-2, # RRRLKVA and # DK077 would be your best option.

  • Roof Rack Options For 2014 Dodge Durango Naked Roof
  • You have several options to choose from. If you are wanting a flush fit, without any over hang of the crossbars, then I suggest the Rhino-Rack ROC25 Roof Rack with Vortex Aero Crossbars Part # RR35SR. Its black aluminum construction gives it a sleek factory look, and the roof rack has built in locks to prevent theft. Another great feature is the Aero Crossbars, giving you many different options when choosing cargo baskets or other carriers. If you do not mind the over hang of the crossbars...

  • Does Brake Controller Output Voltage Need to be Over 4 Volts
  • There is no minimum voltage requirement for a brake controller's output circuit setting. I wouldn't focus on the number so much as what allows the controller to operate your trailer brakes the best.

  • Sliding 5th Wheel Hitch For 2006 Dodge Ram 1500 Short Bed
  • Yes, you definitely can tow a 1999 Jayco Eagle model 211 with a 2005 Dodge Ram 1500 short bed. I recommend going with the Curt A16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ R16 Slider - Dual Jaw - 16,000 lbs # C16521 and the Curt Semi-Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit for Dodge Ram 1500 - Carbide Finish # C16303-200. You will need a slider because of the box length. If you do not get a sliding hitch or a rotating pinbox you will cause damage to your tow vehicle and or the 5th wheel. You will also...

  • 2014 Dodge Durango Tow Mirror Recommendation
  • While we don't have custom fit tow mirrors for your 2014 Dodge Durango we do have universal style mirrors that we know fit well and recommend highly. I recommend the K-Source Dual View Tow Mirror part # KS3990 for your vehicle. We know these fit your Durango well as we had the chance to install them on a similar 2018 Dodge Durango. See attached install video link. The dual lens feature is really nice too since it basically gives you a third angle that you can view behind you when towing.

  • How To Use a 3 Foot Long Hitch Extender On a 2008 Dodge Ram 2500 While Towing
  • I do have an option for you but in order to carry that much weight on a hitch extender you will have to use a dual receiver tube setup. The most cost effective option we have for this is the TorkLift SuperHitch Original Trailer Hitch Receiver part # TLD1102 as this will then allow you to use the TorkLift SuperTruss Hitch Extension part # TLE1536 which is the only extender available that will allow you to carry this much weight. The TorkLift Wiring Harness Extension part # TLW6036 will also...

  • 5th Wheel to Gooseneck Adapter for 2009 Dodge Ram 2500 Mega Cab and Ford F-250
  • There are a couple of things to look at for your application but to figure out the height required for your adapter you need to go park your 5th wheel trailer, your 2009 Dodge Ram 2500, and your dad's Ford F-250 on level ground and then take some measurements. Be sure to disconnect the 5th wheel trailer and level it prior to measuring. For your 5th wheel trailer you need to measure from the ground to the bottom of your pin box and then for your pickups you need to measure from the ground...

  • Best 5th Wheel Hitch That Works With The Lippert Turning Point Pin Box
  • There are a couple of options that'll work great with your Lippert Turning Point Pin Box, however one hitch stands out to me more than others. Take a look at the: -Curt E16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch - Slide Bar Jaw - 16,000 lbs # C16115 This 5th wheel stands out the most from the others because of its fast, 1-pin head removal, which will allow for one person to remove the hitch. Finally, since you're going to use this hitch with your Turning Point pin box, you're also going to need the...

  • Is There Roof Rack Surf Board Carrier that Can Attach to Yakima Overhaul HD Crossbars
  • I have a solution for you but since the Yakima Overhaul HD bars are taller than standard crossbars the surfboard carriers that attach to the bars by wrapping around them like what you mentioned would not fit. Instead you'd need to go with a rack that installs by attaching to the stop channels of your crossbars like the Inno Lock Watersports Carrier part # INXA445 and you'd be set.

  • Comparing Air Kit w Active Suspension Enhancement
  • My understanding from your described situation, I recommend an air bag system for your 1997 Dodge 2500 Van. Both options will greatly improve your ride quality for the situation you described but the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate Air Helper Springs with Internal Jounce Bumpers, # AL88105, have the advantage of easier adjustability once installed. You will better be able to adjust increasing your payload from no bike to one bike to two. Adjustability of off-center load when hauling...
