  • Recommended Trailer Hitch For A 2005 International Truck 8600 Series
  • When it comes to installing a trailer hitch on your 2005 International 8600 4x2 Day Cab Single Axle I recommend The Curt Class 5 Universal Weld-on Hitch w/ Brackets - 2 inch Receiver - 44 inch Wide # C99CR. This hitch has adjustable side brackets that slide along the hitch body to match exactly the width of your vehicle frame before welding it on. The hitch has a maximum gross towing trailer weight up to 16,000 pounds and has a maximum tongue weight up to 1,600 pounds. The side brackets...

  • Brake Controller/7-Way Trailer Connector Installation-2001 International Trucks 4000 Series Truck
  • Your 2001 International 4300 box truck should have a combined taillight wiring system, which means that the turn signals and brake lamps are combined on the same wire, just like most trailers are wired. For a 7-way trailer connector, I'd recommend using part # 20023 which would wire up as follows: • Black---12V power from battery • White--ground to frame • Red---left turn and stop tapped into truck's taillight wiring harness • Brown--Tail and running lights tapped into trucks taillight...

  • How to Install a Brake Controller on a 2015 International 7400
  • In order to install a brake controller on your 2015 International 7400, you would need to hardwire one into the vehicle's wiring harness as we do not have a plug-in adapter for you. I recommend using the Tekonsha Prodigy P2 Trailer Brake Controller part # 90885. The Tekonsha Prodigy P2 comes with a pigtail adapter that has 4 wires that will need to be ran for installation. Red Wire: Stop Light Switch (Cold Side of Brake Pedal) White Wire: Ground Blue Wire: Brake Output Black Wire:...

  • Brake Controller For A 2004 International 4300
  • Though The Curt Echo Under-Dash Wireless Brake Controller # C27JR will work with your 2004 International 4300. Before installing a brake controller you will have to find the 7 wire plug in the frame rail behind the cab which contains the wires for lights and signals. From there you will have to wire that into the wiring kit # ETBC7. You will have to cut off the 4-way on the ETBC7 and then use a circuit tester # PTW2992 so you can determine all the functions of the wires on your truck....

  • Recommendation For A Trailer Tarp That Is 8 foot x 30 foot
  • The biggest trailer tarp we have is the Erickson Industrial-Grade Truck/Trailer Tarp, Item # EM57051, that is 12 foot x 24 foot. One possibility is to add another trailer tarp like the Erickson Mesh Tarp and Truck Cover, Item # EM57058, and connect them in the middle by the rivets and/or with cords and straps. This Erickson mesh cover is 10 foot x 12 foot.

  • Will The Haynes Air Actuated Trailer Brake Controller Compatible With Electric Over Hydraulic Brakes
  • I went ahead and checked, and Hydrastar does not offer something like # HBA-CAM for your 2008 International 8600. However with the Hayes Air Actuated Trailer Brake Controller # HA100400C, you don't need # HBA-CAM because this brake controller will activate your trailer brakes in proportion to your truck's braking action, and also will tie into your air brakes to sense the amount of pressure you apply, and will work with electric and electric-over-hydraulic brakes on your trailer.

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 1973 International Scout II
  • Unfortunately we do not offer any tow bar base plates for the 1973 International Scout II. I double-checked with Roadmaster and they do not offer base plates for your vehicle. An option we can offer is a tow dolly such as the Roadmaster # RM-2050-1. You will need to check your owners manual (or with an International dealer) to confirm whether your vehicle can be towed rear-wheels-down. If the vehicle is suitable for towing in this manner, and if its weight is within the 4,380-lb capacity...

  • How to Make 7-Way Blade to 7-Way Round Female Trailer Connector
  • It sounds like you're needing to combine a standard 7-Way lead, like the Hopkins 7-Way RV Style Connector with Molded Cable # HM20041, with a 7-Way round pin connector like the Pollak # PK11700. You will be able to connect the open end of the etrailer 7-Way wiring directly to the Pollak. Just keep in mind that for the standard 7-Way blade the turn and brake signals are combined while the 7-Pole connectors usually have those split into their own circuits. This is a pretty unusual setup...
