The transfer case should be in neutral. The vehicle can be towed only in the forward direction. The Wrangler cannot be used with a tow dolly. Also it is necessary...

  • Can Bedliner Be Installed After Fifth Wheel Hitch Is Installed
  • I would first consult the installer of the bedliner and find out how thick the liner you are having installed would be. From the information I have been able to find, most of the bedliners whether rolled on or sprayed on would be about the thickness of a dime or less. I recommend you remove the hitch and bed rails and plug the attach holes so that they are not covered with the bedliner material when it is applied. This would provide protection for your truck bed even when the bed rails...

  • Can 1988 Mazda B2200 Pickup Truck With Manual Transmission Be Safely Flat Towed
  • I did some online research for your 1988 Mazda B Series pickup and was unable to find specific information for towing. Typically, on a 2-wheel drive manual transmission vehicle, they can be safely towed if the vehicle transmission is in neutral. On a 4-wheel drive vehicle they can also typically be towed safely if the transmission is in neutral and the transfer case is in neutral as well, but I strongly urge you to consult your owners manual or your Mazda dealership to make certain your...

  • How to Determine the Correct Hub Replacement For Trailer
  • In order to find the correct replacement hub for your trailer you will need to find the inner and outer bearing numbers and the seal number. The 8-135 you see stamped is the casting number and really does not give us the information we need to find the hub that will fit your spindle. I have attached a photo that shows you where you should be able to find the numbers on your bearings and seal. If you cannot find the numbers, you will want to use a precision instrument like a digital caliper...

  • Should the Prodigy P2 Brake Controller be Unplugged if it Will Not Be Used for 6 Months
  • When the Prodigy P2 Brake Controller, # 90885, is plugged in on your 2012 Nissan Armada but is not being used, the electrical draw from the controller is a mere 3.6 milliamps so there really is no harm in leaving the unit plugged in. If you would feel better unplugging the unit that way the LED display does not come on every time you start your vehicle, I recommend also removing the unit from it's mounting location. From past experience, if the unit is left in place but unplugged, some...

  • Is # RG06-050 the Same as a 10-19 Double Lip Grease Seal
  • Part # RG06-050 is indeed a 10-19 double lip seal. The seal does have a coiled internal spring designed to make a tight seal to the spindle to keep the grease in the hub where it belongs. A double lip seal is recommended when an EZ lube spindle or Bearing Buddies are used.

  • Adapting 7-Way Trailer Connector on 2012 Nissan Titan To 4-Pole Connector on Trailer
  • Your Titan would've been factory equipped either with or without the 7-way trailer connector. If there's indeed a connector on the rear, it would be the 7-way. There's a few ways you can go about doing this. The easiest option would be to adapt the 7-way to work with a 4-pole by using a plug-in adapter like part # PK12716. You could also use the # C55515 that you referenced. You'd unplug the wiring harness from the rear of your 7-way, and plug the # C55515 inline with that connection....

  • I spoke with my contact at Camco about the Camco Propane Hose Assembly, part # CAM59913, and they told me that this will handle high pressure un-regulated gas, so it would be considered a high pressure hose.

  • Fuel Economy Gains in 2002 Ford F-250 7.3L from Using a Performance Tuner
  • The two Edge products you referenced, parts # EP84030 and # EP85100, are fundamentally different. The Edge Diesel Evolution CTS3 Programmer # EP96TR (or the # EP76TR for California residents) is both a monitor that displays engine parameters sent through the OBD-II port, and also a performance tuner that can increase your horsepower and torque by altering your engine's tune. This unit is a fit for your 2002 F-250 Powerstroke. The other unit # EP84030 is only a display - it does not re-tune...

  • Determining Gross Vehicle Weight Rating of Crossroads Sunset Lite Travel Trailer
  • You are exactly right in your thinking when you mentioned the tongue weight of a trailer like the Crossroads Sunset Lite that you are looking at. I did some research on the 289QB model trailer and was able to verify the capacities that you provided. When the manufacturer determined the 7,600 pound GVWR (which is the most the trailer can weigh when fully loaded), they were definitely taking into account the trailer's tongue weight that will not be supported by its two axles. A trailer's...

  • Location Of Brake Controller Connection Port On A 2012 Infiniti QX56
  • If you have the factory 7-way connector on your 2012 Infiniti QX56, the connector used for the brake controller will be located under the driver side of the dash. I have attached a photo that shows what the plug-in adapter on the harness that connects between the brake controller and the vehicle connector looks like. If the pins on the connector you found under the dash match the pin pattern of the connector in the photo then that is your connector. You may have to remove a small panel...

  • Cargo Bag Options For 2008 BMW X3 With Moon Roof
  • You will want to first check with your owners manual or with your dealership to find out what the roof weight capacity is for your 2008 BMW X3. With having a moon roof installed you may find that they recommend that nothing be placed on the roof surface or the moon roof of your vehicle. There are a couple of options for roof top carriers for you. If you find that your roof can handle some weight with the moon roof I recommend the Rightline Sport 2 Rooftop Cargo Bag, part # RL100S20. this...

  • How Does Gustafson RV Reading Light Adjust at the Base?
  • The Gustafson RV Reading Light, which comes in Satin Nickel # 277-000334 and Black # 277-000335, has a round base, so it can be adjusted in any way you desire to help you read. It uses LED bulbs, has a color temperature of 3,200 Kelvin and is not really comparable to either a flood light or spot light; as a reading light it offers enough brightness to allow you to pick up your favorite material and read with ease.

  • How To Determine What Bearings Are Needed On 1996 Coachmen Catalina Trailer
  • I can help find replacement bearings for your axle if you can let me know what you have on your Coachmen. You will need to remove the hub and pull the bearings and seals. I have attached a drawing that shows where you can typically find the numbers on the bearings and seals. If you are unable to find the numbers then you will need to measure the spindle in the locations where the bearings ride and also measure the inside dimension of the hub. You want to be as accurate as possible when...

  • How To Change Fan Direction On A Non-Reversible RV Roof Vent
  • To change the direction of a non-reversible MaxxAir fan you would only need to swap the wires at the motor and wouldn't need to take it apart or change anything with the circuit board. I recommend using some heat shrink butt connectors # DW05744-5 for your connections to prevent any water that could potentially get in from corroding the wiring.

  • Recommended Tire Pressure for a Tire Size 20.5 x 8 - 10
  • The tires in your size that we offer have varying pressure ratings depending on their load capacity.

Trailer tires will indicate their required inflation pressure on the sidewall of the tire. This is usually stated as a...
