  • Does Hitch Need to be Replaced on 2015 Dodge Durango Involved in Collision
  • If the OEM hitch on your 2015 Dodge Durango took the brunt of the damage to the point the safety chain loops were bent then that leads me to believe there could very well be other damage to the hitch and you'll want to look for places where the paint is chipping away or you see any stress fractures. It might be best to just swap out to an aftermarket trailer hitch like the Draw-Tite # DT38MR so you know the hitch integrity hasn't been compromised but you might wait to see what your shop...

  • Is Bumper Modification Required to Install a Front Mount Hitch on a 2003 Dodge Durango
  • We have front mount trailer hitches available for the 2003 Dodge Durango as long as it is a 4WD model. At this time there are no front mount hitches available for the 2WD models.

  • Trouble Locating Green Wire To Connect To 12 Gauge Blue Wire In Tekonsha 7-Way Harness
  • For the 12 gauge blue wire connection you will not have to remove the liner completely. You will only need to remove enough of the screws to allow you to be able to find the connector inside the fender well. Many have trouble finding this connection and if you wish you can actually run the wire another way. The wire is simply the factory brake output. A simpler way of running the wire would be to run it into the vehicle and connect it to the blue wire on the brake controller harness....

  • What Causes Grease Leaking Out of Bearing Buddy Bearing Protectors
  • It sounds like you just simply overfilled the Bearing Buddy Bearing Protectors like part # BB1980A but not to worry, they do this by design so you didn't damage anything. The built-in pressure relief valve will allow grease to seep out the piston to avoid damaging the grease seal. I'd wipe away the extra grease and then just proceed as normal, there may be still some more that seeps out. Just be careful not to overfill the hubs next time, you'll want a bit of movement when you press on...

  • Will the ETBC7 Provide Reverse Lockout Functionality on 2017 Dodge Durango for Boat Trailer
  • Adding a 7-way connection with the # ETBC7 Universal Installation Kit will provide you with the reverse lockout you need to make sure the brakes do not engage in reverse.

This would allow you to plug your 5-way connection from the trailer into the 7-way connection on your vehicle. Another...
