  • Replacement Trailer Hitch Installation Hardware for a Curt Trailer Hitch
  • For replacement trailer hitch hardware, you will want to use part # RHK. Simply enter the trailer hitch part number and manufacturer name and we will assemble the hardware kit for that hitch for you. This will be the hardware only. If the trailer hitch you purchased in 2009 was not originally for the 2003 Pontiac Montana, then I strongly recommend determining if the hitch will fit that vehicle before purchasing the hardware.

  • Modifications and Equipment Necessary to Flat Tow 1999 Pontiac Sunfire
  • According to my research, the 1999 Sunfire with the 4T40E automatic transmission is flat-towable, subject to any recommendations listed in the owners manual. From what I have read, the fuses for the instrument panel lighting need to be pulled to prevent the battery from being drained. The steering column should be unlocked by turning the ignition key to the OFF position, which is the next position from LOCK. The transmission should be in neutral.

  • Is Sway Control Needed with a Weight Distribution System
  • Not all weight distribution systems come with sway control. Sway control is usually a good idea, but if you do not experience much sway when you are towing, then you do not need to add it. If you want to add sway control, then you may be interested in the Friction Sway Control Kit, # 83660. The head of your weight distribution system must have an additional ball hole to the side of the main hitch ball to accommodate the sway control bar (see photo). I have attached an installation video...

  • You could use a Taillight converter like part # 118158 in conjunction with a wiring kit like part # RM-154.

  • Can 12 Inch Wheels And Tires Be Replaced With 15 Inch Wheels And Tires On A Utility Trailer
  • When switching from 12 inch wheels to 15 inch wheels you will want to make sure that you have the clearance needed for new tires and wheels. Going from 12 inch wheels to 15 inch wheels will raise the trailer substantially. The 12 inch tires we sell range from about 20 to 22 inches in diameter. The Kenda Karrier # AM10140 has an outer diameter of 21.3 inches. If you put 15 inch tires on your trailer the diameter can range from 27 to 28-1/2 inches. The Karrier ST175/80R13 Radial Trailer...
