  • Is There a Temperature the Kat's Heaters Oil or Transmission Pad Gets
  • There are variables that will affect the specific temperature output of the Kat's Heaters Oil or Transmission Pan Heating Pad # KH24100, specifically the outside temperature and wind, so there is not a temperature listed. That said, Kat's does warn that this should only be used on metal and to avoid placing the pad on plastic because it is hot enough to potentially melt any plastic surface, which should give you a good idea of how hot this pad can get.

  • Will Upgraded Weight Distribution System Improve Sway Control
  • Your Curt TruTrack Weight Distribution System # C17500 already has sway control with its spring bars so adding the Curt Friction Sway Control # 17200 would not provide you with additional sway, it would essentially be redundant. Sway won't really be completely eliminated with these units but it should greatly minimize it; if you are experiencing more sway than usual it is possible your Curt system may not be rated high enough and an upgraded system would help improve sway. To know if...

  • Will a Relay be Needed to Activate Tow Package on a 2008 Acura RDX
  • If you plan on towing a trailer with your 2008 Acura RDX, then a relay may be needed to activate the towing package on your vehicle. The relay completes the wiring circuit to allow you to install a trailer wiring harness, like part # 56008, to allow you to run power and control trailer lights. The relay can be found at an Acura dealer or maybe at an auto parts store. If you are only needing the Curt Trailer Hitch, # 13536, for an accessory like a bike rack, then you will not need to...

  • Does Adding Trailer Hitch to 2018 Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid Void Warranty
  • Adding a trailer hitch receiver to your 2018 Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid will not void your warranty because you are protected by what is called the Federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act.

I do recommend checking your owners manual for capacities and abiding by...

  • Can you Weld a Wheel onto the Older Thule T2 Bike Rack
  • The newer Thule T2 Pro, part # TH83JV, has rollers attached, but the older ones did not. It sounds like your have the older T2. While it is entirely possible to weld anything onto your older T2, I cannot say what will work or what size you need. You may be able to use something like the Ultra-Fab Steel Roller for RVs with 2" Trailer Hitches, part # UF48-979020. You might be able to weld this on the rest area to use the roller as your wheel. Again, I cannot say for sure if this will work,...

  • Life Span Of Dexter Torsion Trailer Axle On a 2000 Casita Travel Trailer And Replacement Axle
