Expert Answers about Ford F-450 Cab and Chassis


  • Recommended Valve Stem Extenders for Motorhome with TPMS
  • In regards to choosing the correct valve stem extenders, this will really come down to your specific application so it would be hard for me to help you pick out a set. The Wheel Masters Tire Pressure Valve Extenders part # WM8029 usually work well on the front and the Wheel Masters 2-Hose Inflation Kit part # WM8005 is a good option for the rear. These will both work great with screw-on cap style TPMS.

  • Troubleshooting Curt TriFlex Brake Controller Keeping Motorhome from Turning On
  • If your motorhome has the 2015 Ford F-450 cab and chassis that you input for your vehicle info then the Wiring Adapter # C51436 is the problem. You should actually be using the Wiring Adapter # C51432 for your TriFlex # C24VV instead. When I spoke with my contact at Curt he said that for the Ford pickups if the wrong adapter is used then it does something to the anti-theft and keeps the vehicle from starting.

  • Floor Mat Options for a 2019 Ford E-450 Cutaway
  • For your 2019 Ford E-450 Cutaway, I recommend using WeatherTech All-Weather Front Floor Mats part # WTW51 for black, part # WTW51GR for gray, or part # WTW51TN for tan. Like you said, the manufacturer does not recommend using these or the thermoplastic option because you have the vinyl flooring. These recommendations are ruber, and not thermoplastic. The above floor mats are all custom fit options which means they are contoured specifically to match the footwell in your cutaway. I have...

  • Recommended Replacement RV Vent Lid
  • Without knowing the brand and mounting hinge type the best replacement option would be the MaxxAir UniMaxx Universal Replacement Lid for RV and Trailer Roof Vent - Translucent Smoke # MA00-335002 or # MA00-335001 for white. These replacement lids come with a bracket that you can mount on the vent so that they can fit all brands. If you could send in some pictures of the lid and the hinge and possibly get the model number I could try to find an exact replacement for you.

  • Trailer Wiring Harness for 2021 Ford F450 Chassis & Cab, 4-pole and 7-way
  • For your 4-pole trailer lighting connection you will need a Tekonsha # 18252 Hard Wire Kit. To up fit this to a 7-way connector you will need to add the etrailer # ETBC7 Install Kit. Your 4-pole connector plugs into the back of it and it then you wire the 12-volt hot, and 12-volt brakes to it. When plugging the 4-pole in the back, use some dielectric grease to keep moisture out and deter corrosion. If you don't have any order the Edelmann # 11755 two ounce tube. Keep in mind that this...

  • Zero Point Reset Not Working for Lippert Ground Control 3.0 on a 2017 Thor Quantum
  • I spoke with my contact at Lippert about you trying to Zero Reset your Lippert Ground Control 3.0 # LC358590. He said that you may not be pressing the front and rear fast enough and that the system is a little temperamental. Try following the instructions and then pressing the front and back 10 times firmly and quickly which should reset the Zero Point. If you are still having issues after this just let me know and I can help you troubleshoot further.

  • Can RV Backup Camera be Wired Up to Be an Observation System
  • In order to wire up an RV's backup camera to easily be an observation system that allows you to view behind you at any time you'd just need to wire the activation circuit of the camera to the running light circuit instead of the reverse light circuit. This allows you the ability turn on running lights whenever needed to see behind you.

  • Best Brake Controller for a 2019 Ford E-450 Cutaway
  • The best brake controller for your 2019 Ford E-450 Cutaway is the Redarc Tow-Pro Elite Trailer Brake Controller item # RED44FR. The Tow-Pro Elite is very similar in design to a factory trailer brake controller. There is a control box that gets installed under the dash, out of sight and then a control knob that gets mounted on your dash wherever you prefer. This will provide a very clean look and will allow you to mount it in many different locations whereas a standard brake controller will...

  • The Reese Low-Profile 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch - Dual Jaw - 30,000lbs # RP30054 was designed to be welded or bolted to directly to the frame of cab-and-chassis style trucks so you will be able to attach it to your 1988 Ford Super Duty 7.3L Cab-and-Chassis. I spoke with a Reese technician and they stated you may have to weld a plate to the frame first and then weld or bolt the hitch to the plate. You'll find the installation instructions attached below.

  • What Would Cause Vehicle Battery in 2018 Ford F450 Thor Motorhome To Be Dead After Using Shore Power
  • Man I'm sorry to hear that! I don't see how a Furrion 50 amp transfer switch # F50ATS would cause this issue though, as your vehicle battery should not be able to be drained from your house batteries, and your vehicle battery should not be hooked up to a transfer switch like the Furrion unit. Did you recently have the transfer switch installed? If so I'd verify that it was wired correctly by checking out the included instructions, because shore power should not affect your vehicle battery...

  • Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver For a 2020 Ford F-450 Cab and Chassis Work Truck
  • The Draw-Tite Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver # 65049 is confirmed to fit your 2020 Ford F-450 cab and chassis. It has different mounting points than the Draw-Tite Receiver # 65076 that you were looking at. I recommend keeping either a Cover # 63080 or Step # WT81BS1XL in the receiver to eliminate the whistle from the wind front receivers will often create. The step is great as it allows you to easily access under the hood if you do your own service work or run into issues on the road.

  • Recommended Gooseneck Hitch For 2016 Ford F-450 Cab And Chassis
  • Because of the design of your truck bed and frame there is no standard gooseneck hitch available for your 2016 Ford Cab And chassis, but we do have a solution. I recommend the Curt Gooseneck Flat Plate, part # C65500. Typically, the C65500 is placed on top of the flat bed over the rear axle. You will need to drill holes through the plate and the bed and into the truck frame. The recommended hardware to use is 1/2 inch grade 5.

  • Replacement Radio For Magnadyne M9900CDS
  • This radio is no longer manufactured. Assuming this is the dash radio, then this is in a "1.5 Din" sized opening. The Magnadyne website has a user manual PDF with the wiring schematic. I would replace this Magnadyne radio with the Jensen # JHD1630B radio which includes weatherband and input for AUX/USB. Like most new car radios, CD's are no longer supported. Since this radio is single DIN, you will need a single DIN to 1.5 DIN adapter available elsewhere. The radio comes with a wiring...

  • Is there a Front Mount Hitch for a 2024 Ford E-450?
  • No, Erich I am really sorry but we do not. I checked with our vendors and Curt, Torklift, and Draw-Tite do not have anything available either. Additionally, I went back a few years and saw that we have never had a custom fit from mount hitch available for the E-450s. The only solution I have to offer for you is to use either the Weld-On Receiver item # E17 or the Combo Bar 12" item # E-11 and speak to a local fabricator in your area about having a front hitch custom build for your vehicle.

  • Is the Swagman Titan 2 Bike Carrier # S63400 Compatible with an RV
  • If by RV you are referring to a motorhome then yes, you can use the Swagman Titan 2 Bike Carrier # S63400 with your motorhome. The Titan has a built-in cable lock. To add an anti-rattle hitch lock to this bike rack you need the # S64029. Some people do refer to their trailer as an RV (usually bigger trailers). If this is the case then you will need to use a bike rack that has been tested and approved for the extra movement and stress that is at the rear of a trailer. For a similarly...
