  • Is Removal Of The Bed Necessary To Install B&W Turnover Ball Gooseneck on 02 Ram 2500 or 09 Ram 3500
  • Installation of both the B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch # BWGNRK1394 for your 2002 Ram 2500 and # BWGNRK1308 for your 2009 Ram 3500 Mega Cab short bed will not require the bed to be lifted or disconnected in any way. The instructions for both do mention a lifting device is recommended but this is only for holding the center hitch section under the bed while you bolt it up to the cross rails. I recommend getting a Hopkins Endurance 5th Wheel/Gooseneck 90-Degree Wiring...

  • Can a Diode Be Installed on Trailer Brake Controller Output Wire to Prevent Back Feed?
  • I would not recommend installing a Diode # RM-690 on the brake line as this is a part which can fail and if it were to you could risk doing a lot of damage. While the Bright Way Push-to-Test ICU Trailer Breakaway Kit # BW94FR could risk damage to your brake controller the breakaway cord should only ever be pulled when the trailer becomes disconnected from your tow vehicle or during testing which you should not be connected during either. If you are connected electronically to the trailer...

  • Recommended Trailer Brake Controller For a 2007 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD
  • I recommend the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake Controller # 90195 for your 2007 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD. This is my favorite controller as it has an easy to read LCD and is well know for its durability and functionality. You will need to know if you have the new body style or the classic as the wiring for these will be different. On the new body style the wiring is already under the dash but will need to be wired in. On the classic body style there is a connector which you can plug...

  • Correct Grounding Location For The Tekonsha 118683 On A Volvo XC90
  • To answer your question Mark, both ways are correct. The vehicles frame, or the negative battery terminal are both suitable locations for a ground. It could be the installer in that particular video just preferred to do it that way since the battery was so close. The Manufacturer instructions for the Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118683 do say to find a grounding point near the connector such as the frame or the crossmember. It is always a good idea to stick with what the manufacturer...

  • How Does An RV Air Conditioning System Mount To The Roof Of An RV
  • The Advent Air RV Air Conditioner System # ACM135C clamps to the roof of the RV using four bolts that pass through the air distribution box, up through the 14" x 14" cutout hole and thread into the weld nuts in the rooftop unit. This portion of the installation can be seen in the attached video below around the 16 minute mark.

  • How Does Charge Wire of Demco Stay N Play Connect if Tow Vehicle Battery Needs to be Disconnected
  • You would need to run the charge line to the battery directly independently of the main power wire for the vehicle that runs to the battery. So the vehicle would be disconnected but the charge line would still be.

  • Does The Demco Baseplate # DM77YV Require That You Trim The Air Shutters/Dam On A Ford Maverick
  • The instructions for the Demco Tabless Base Plate Kit # DM77YV are being added to page but I'll also send them to you separately. In the instructions they only show that the air dam needs a chunk cut out and that the shutters would remain. The Demco baseplate has a bit more of a slant outwards compared the the Roadmaster # RM97RR so you shouldn't need to trim out as much of the air shutters/dam during the installation.

  • Troubleshooting Roadmaster Battery Disconnect Not Working After Transmission Work
  • AAMCO most likely disconnected it when they did work on your vehicle since most vehicles require disconnected the battery before doing so so my guess would be that they forgot to reconnect it at the battery upon completion of the work so you should check there. Also make sure the wiring connections at the battery are made tightly.

  • Does Go Power Solar Extreme Charging System Have Fuse Between Panels and Controller
  • While there is some variances in how the Go Power Solar panel kit part # 34282185 installs depending on the setup the diagram I found in the install instructions only shows a fuse between the controller and the battery so that would be what you would want to do. This matches the install video you mentioned as well.

  • How to Run an Electric Jack Off of a Trailer Battery and a 7-Way Connector
  • The easiest way to power your electric jack off of the 7-way and/or the battery is to install the Trailer Wiring Junction Box - 7 Terminals item # 3375601100 and connect your jack to the 12v circuit that your battery would also be connected to. This would allow your jack to draw power from both your tow vehicle's 7-way or your trailer's battery. This inexpensive junction box provides a secure location for all of your 7-way connections. I have linked a review video below so you can see...

  • 2-Bike Rack For Toyota Prius C That Offers Tool-Free Installation
  • Hey there Gerad, I understand how some of those bike rack's with threaded hitch pins can be a pain to install. I think you'd be happy using the Thule Apex XT Bike Rack for 2 Bikes # TH9024XT. This hitch is extremely easy to install or remove from your hitch without any tools. You simply slide it into the hitch receiver and push in a pin, then use a knob to tighten it by hand (check out the video I attached: at about the 7:10 minute mark you can see the installation process). Keep in mind,...

  • Availability of Custom Wiring Harness for 2024 Subaru Impreza RS
  • There is no specific plug under your bumper but we do have a plug and play wiring option for your 2024 Subaru Impreza RS. It looks like the RS is a hatchback so the correct wiring harness is the # 118744. If it was a sedan model you would need the # 118629 instead. Both of these plug into the connection points behind the rear taillights so no splicing is required. Tekonsha recently confirmed these fit the 2024 model so until we update our site you can ignore the warning that says "Not confirmed...

  • Parts Needed to Add Brake Controller to 2012 GMC Canyon With Factory 4-Way
  • You will need to add a 7-way to install the # 39523 (80500) on the 2012 GMC Canyon. If the 4-way at the back is plugged into a round US Car connector behind the bumper you can add a 7-way using the # HM40975. If it is an aftermarket 4-way, or attached using a different connector, you will have to add a 7-way using the # ETBC7. Since it is a hardwire installation you will also want the Pigtail Wiring Harness for Tekonsha and Draw-Tite Brake Controllers - 34" Long # 7894. This will plug...

  • How to Know if Konig Tire Chains Can Be Installed on 2015 Audi Q5 Front Tires
  • Usually when an owner's manual states not to use tire chains on the front tires it's because there just simply isn't enough clearance behind the tire to avoid damaging things like brake lines or wiring components. I wasn't able to find anything specific about which tires to install the Konig Tire Chains # TH01594250 on for your 2015 Audi Q5 but the manual did state to reach out to your local Audi dealer for specifics on using tire chains so I recommend doing that to avoid damaging anything...

  • Can The Demco Air Force One Braking System Operate Without Tapping Into The Vacuum Line
  • Depending on the type of brake-assist that your 2022 Jeep Gladiator has the Demco Air Force One Supplemental Braking System for Tiffin Chassis Motorhomes w/ Factory Air Brakes # DM55MV may have to tap into the vacuum line in order to work. Vacuum-assisted brakes will require tapping into the vacuum line. If you have hydroboost brakes you'll need to refer to page 22 of the installation manual. If you have an electric assist brake and the vehicle requires the battery to be disconnected, refer...

  • Recommended Air Bags for a 2022 Ram 2500 Power Wagon
  • Yes, they will! The Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs item # F2598 installs in place of the factory bump stops which means there will not be any issues using this kit on the 2" taller Power Wagon model of your 2022 Ram 2500. I have linked an installation video below to help you get them set up. Please note that these air bags do not work with gooseneck or 5th wheel hitch brackets.

  • Can A Second Set Of Side Marker Cameras Be Added To A Furrion Vision Camera System
  • The 5" # FOS05TASF and 7" # FOS07TASF monitor Furrion Vision S Camera Systems can pair with up to four cameras at a time. The 4.3" monitor version # FOS43TASF is only capable of just one camera connection. You wouldn't be able to add a second set of side marker cameras and but would be able to add another rear camera # FCN48TASF, which most people either mount above the door of the trailer as a security feature or on the nose of the trailer to assist with coupling.
