Expert Answers about International Trucks


  • Can a Brake Controller Be Installed in a 2007 International 4200
  • A brake controller does not have to be tied into the computer on your 2007 International 4200. A brake controller such as # 90885 requires 12 volt power in to power the controller, a ground which is usually attached to the negative battery terminal, an output wire (blue) goes to the trailer connector, and a connection to the cold side of the brake switch to tell the controller when you are stepping on the brake pedal. If your truck has air brakes then it is possible that there isn't a...

  • Tekonsha Voyager Trailer Brake Controller Installation in 1998 International 3400 Series Bus
  • Installation of a trailer brake controller like the Tekonsha Voyager # 39510 in your 1998 International 3400 Series bus will require a trailer brake installation kit, part # ETBC7, along with the controller itself. Since your vehicle is fairly long you will need extra wiring # 10-2-1 (sold by the foot) to let you reach all the way back to your rear bumper. We do not have a video for Voyager installation in your specific vehicle but the linked article covers installation of the # ETBC7...

  • Installing Brake Controller on a 2007 International 4400 Truck
  • Since there isn't an adapter to go from a semi 7-Way to an RV 7-Way the best solution is going to be to install a separate RV style 7-Way on your 2007 International 4400. You can use installation kit # ETBC7. You may be able to tap into the circuits on the existing 7-Way as long as the turn signals and brake lights are combined on the same circuit. If not then you will have to first install a 4-Way using # 119178KIT. If the circuits are combined on the existing semi 7-Way then all you...

  • Wiring a Brake Controller to a 2007 International Trucks 4300 Series
  • We may have a solution for you. To wire a brake controller on your 2007 International Trucks 4300 Series, you need to wire the controller's red wire to the stop light circuit. If the only wire you've found for brake lights is tied to the turn signal lights, then that wire cannot be used. The reason is that the turn signals, once engaged, would activate the brakes. There may be a brake switch circuit that is sometimes abbreviated as the CHMSL circuit. Use a tester like part # PTW2993 to...

  • Locating Brake Light Switch on 2005 International 8600 Truck
  • If your 2005 International 8600 has hydraulic brakes, then the brake light switch should be located somewhere right above the brake pedal. I was unable to locate what color this wire might be, so you will simply need to test the factory wires with a circuit tester like # PTW2993. You are looking for the wire that only receives power with the brake pedal depressed, and no power with any other function. Once found, this is the wire that will connect to the red wire on the Tekonsha Prodigy...

  • Can the Side or Traffic Cameras on the Furrion Vision S Wireless Camera System Be Adjusted
  • The traffic or side cameras that come with the Furrion Vision S Wireless RV Observation Camera Systems like part # FCE48TASL-05 are not adjustable. If they don't provide the visibility you're looking for, the only option would be to move them further to the front or rear of the trailer until the desired location is reached. This would require drilling new holes into the side of the trailer and running wires from the old to new locations. The old holes will need to be sealed up with silicone.

  • Should the Brake Light Switch Wire on Tekonsha Primus IQ Brake Controller Have 12V Power
  • The brake light switch wire on the Tekonsha Primus IQ Trailer Brake Controller - 1 to 3 Axles - Proportional # TK90160 should be positive. That means there will be 12V power running through the wire when the brakes are applied.

  • Can a P3 Brake Controller be Installed in a 2002 International 4300
  • Before you do anything else you will want to see if there is a brake switch above the brake pedal. If there is, then use a circuit tester such as # PTW2993 to test the wires. You are looking for one that only has power when you step on the brake pedal. If it has power with the head lights or turn signals on it is not the correct wire. A lot of vehicles with air brakes do not have this wire which connects to the brake controller red wire. Based on what I was able to find there should be...

  • Can the Super Titan 3000 Weld-on Trailer Hitch w/ 3" Receiver Be Bolted
  • The Super Titan 3000 Weld-on Trailer Hitch w/ 3" Receivers like part # 38023 all require welding. They are universal hitches which require fabrication and modification for installation. In order to achieve the full capacity of the hitch, there will need to be welds throughout for support.

  • 17 Inch Radiator Fan That Can be Used as Pusher
  • Although the Derale 17" High-Output, Electric Radiator Fan-and-Shroud Assembly - 2,400 CFM # D16919 is only designed to work as a puller application (behind the radiator) we do have an option for you. The Derale 17" High-Output, Electric, Single Radiator Fan - 2,400 CFM # D16217 will work great as a puller or a pusher application (in front of the radiator) like you were wanting. It is worth mentioning that typically fans do work more efficiently as a puller than a pusher. I have added...

  • Installation of Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Brake Controller on a 1995 International 4700
  • Yes, the installation of a brake controller is generally the same for vehicle's that have no factory tow package, which is what your 1968 Chevy C50 most likely needed as well. I have linked a Help Article on installing a brake controller from scratch for you to check out. For your 1995 International 4700 series, I recommend the # ETBC7 kit this will transform a 4-way connection to a 7-way vehicle connection. If you currently don't have a 4-way connection then you will want # C59496. ...
