- Yes, the Short Left Leg # LC342610 is paired correctly with the Short Right Leg # LC428493 for the Lippert Ground Control 3.0 leveling system. The foot pad is not removeable though so you'll want to take that into account for your clearance.

- If you're not getting power to your AC system # AT15028-22, thermostat, or MaxxAir vent then your issue lies with your power source. The thermostat and vent both run off of 12v DC (which comes from your battery) and the AC unit runs off of 115v AC (shore power/generator power).
If neither of these are working and you're battery is fully charged and you're hooked up to shore power then most likely your power center has blown fuses/circuits. Power centers are usually close to the ground,...

- Yes, the Universal Strap-On Towing Mirror will fit your 2004 Dodge Dakota pickup, as long as your mirror has the 'lip' around it for the clips on the securing straps to attach to. This is a universal style towing mirror that fits very well and is fully adjustable to fit and reduce annoying vibration. Once you have the mirrors adjusted for fit the knob on the end of the mirror is used to secure and tighten the mirror to your factory mirror.
I have seen these on Dakota pickups and they look...

- The best replacement option we offer for a Dometic Over the Range Microwave DOTR12CB is the Furrion Over the Range RV Convection Microwave part # FMCM15SS. This microwave is considerably larger than the one it's replacing at 29-15/16" wide x 16-3/8" tall x 15" deep but it's also the smallest we offer for the over-the-range style. This however would provide you with additional room inside, 1.5 cu ft vs. 1.3 cu ft. The vent is located on top, in the center at the back of the unit.

- Using the Custom Mounting Brackets # K284130 for the Detail K2 Rampage II Elite Snowplow # K2RAMP8219ELT is a much better option than using a Detail K2 Elite Snowplow for 2" Hitches # K2AVAL8219ELT. First you have 2 mounting points for the winch to attach to making the connection point stronger. And since you will have to have a custom made front receiver welded up it is impossible to know the exact ratings and capacities for that receiver.
I prefer the Elite # K2RAMP8219ELT version with...

- I spoke with our towing mirror manufacturers and neither had a confirmed fit. My contact at CIPA did however recommend the CIPA Universal Dual Lens Towing Mirrors - Clip On - Qty 2 # 11953-2 as it is a universal fit for truck mirrors and comes with straps to tighten down for a snug fit without obstructing your existing mirrors.

- In most cases, it's not required to add a bypass to a transmission cooler like the Derale Series 8000 Plate-Fin Transmission Cooler Kit part # D13503. The transmission cannot be overcooled but it will simply take longer for the fluid to get up to operating temperature is all. If you live in climates with extreme winters up north like Canada and Alaska then you will want to consider the Derale Fluid Control Thermostat Kit w/ 3/8" NPT Ports part # D13011 but for all other instances one will...

view full answer... - Performance Tuner Recommendation For 2002 Dodge Dakota
- My chip recommendation is the Edge Gas Evolution CS2 Performance Tuner- Color Screen, part # EP85350. It comes with built in tunes and I like that it can be mounted to the windshield.

I have included a product description link and a video review link below.

- Before you force anything you should make sure that you have the correct mirrors on your Dakota for these CIPA Custom Towing Mirror, part # 10501. Check out the picture to the right to see what the mirrors on your Dakota should look like for installing # 10501 or the # 10502.
Once you have determined that you have the correct mirrors on your Dakota you will slide the towing mirror over the end of the factory mirror so the top and the bottom will slide on simultaneously. These are a pretty...
view full answer... - Flashing Red Signal With Curt Venturer Brake Controller
- If your Curt Venturer Trailer Brake Controller # C74VV is flashing red that means there is a short on the brake circuit of your 2002 Dodge Dakota. Since the controller is new and your trailer brakes work on your buddy's truck the problem is likely going to be corrosion in the 7-way of your '02 Dakota.
You can try and clean it or, assuming you have the factory 7-way, replace it with the Multi-Plug T-One Connector Assembly for 7-Way & 4 Pole Trailer Connector # 20135. It is also vital you...

view full answer... - Brake Controller Wire Functions By Wire Color
- The wires exiting the rear of your controller serve the following functions. The blue wires carries the brake output from the controller, the white wire is the ground, the black wire supplies 12 Volt power, and the red wire is tied into the vehicle brake wiring. If the wiring adapter you have is an aftermarket harness, it should wire up color for color. To the right I have attached a picture of a diagram of how brake controllers wire to tow vehicles.
To be safe, I would suggest using a...
view full answer... - Brake Controller Kit for a 2005 Dodge Dakota
- You will need a brake controller and Brake Controller Installation Kit, item # ETBC7. I recommend the Tekonsha Prodigy P2 Brake Controller, item # 90885 for your 2005 Dodge Dakota.
Wiring the ETBC7 will require plugging your 4-Way connector into the 7-Way connector installed on the rear of the vehicle, and then wiring the extra wires needed for the brake controller and trailer functions. Under the dash you will need to run the blue wire from the brake controller to the blue wire in the...
view full answer... - Trailer Hitch Mount Platform Style Bike Rack for a 2007 Dodge Dakota and For Use Behind a Trailer
- You will not have a problem mounting and using the Yakima HoldUp, # Y02443, on your Dakota, but you cannot use it on the back of a trailer. The problem is that only certain bike racks are rated for use behind a trailer, see link. The HoldUp is not rated for the extra bouncing and movement that naturally occurs at the back of a trailer.
What I recommend for a platform rack is the Swagman XTC-2, # S64670. This would be an excellent choice because it can be used behind the trailer and behind...
view full answer... - Will a Cold Air Intake System and an Exhaust System Improve Fuel Economy on a 2001 Dodge Dakota 4.7L
- A cold air intake like the Airaid CAD Cold Air Intake System, part # AR303-117, is a benefit to the engine because cold air is more dense and therefore is more readily combustible. It will also optimize airflow allowing the engine to breathe easier.
A performance exhaust like the MagnaFlow Exhaust System, # MF15611, for club cab models with 63 inch bed or # MF15739 for quad cab models with a 63 inch bed, will also optimize airflow by reducing the back pressure.
Both products will allow...
view full answer... - Type and Size of Wheel Studs Used on Dexter Hub/Drum # 8-174-5UC3
- The Dexter Hub/ Drum Assembly you referenced, part # 8-174-5UC3 uses 9/16 x 3 screw-in wheel studs, like part # 25-11.
We do not offer a 1/2 x 3 screw-in wheel stud, nor do our suppliers offer one.
To remove the wheel studs, you would use two lug nuts jammed together, like a reverse of the procedure shown in the video I will link you to.
view full answer... - Can a T1 Trailer Wiring Harness be Installed on a 2005 Dodge Dakota with Factory Tow Package
- You can install the T1 connector, # 118323, on your 2005 Dodge Dakota without disconnecting the factory wiring harness. It might be easier and more cost effective to determine what the issue is with the factory wiring harness.
Some common problems are corrosion in the vehicle and/or trailer side connectors. Corrosion can build up in the plugs and behind them where the wires connect where you cannot see it. This can cause a poor connection and can lead to any number of problems.
