Expert Answers about Ford F-250 and F-350 Super Duty
- Does the 2002 Ford F-250 Have a Factory Brake Controller
- For clarification, I don't believe that a factory integrated brake controller was available on Ford trucks until 2009. For that reason it won't be present on your 2002 Ford F-250.
Judging by the question you were referred from, this neighbor was referring to the factory plug that allows you to use a plug and play adapter to install your aftermarket brake controller like the # 3035-P instead of hard wiring. You will need to install a brake controller and, if you don't have one on the truck...

- The grease cap part number that you referenced cross references to a drive in cap with a 2.44 inch outside diameter. If you have a standard cap then the Grease Cap, 2.44 inch OD Drive In, item # RG04-060, is the correct part. If you have a grease fitting in the end of the spindle then the Grease Cap, 2.44 inch OD Drive In with Plug, item # RG04-080, would be the correct part. These parts are correct only if the 092101 part you mentioned is correct. The correct inner and outer bearing part...

- The Reese # RP54970 weight distribution shank would be 4-1/2 inches longer than the 7-3/4 inch long shank that was included with your Husky Centerline weight distribution kit. If that won't give enough clearance, use the # EQ90-02-4500 from Equal-I-zer that is 18 inches long. Both the shanks I recommended have hole spacing of 1-1/4 inch, measured center to center which should be the same as your old shank.

- To determine the correct Sidewinder pin box for your trailer, you will need to find out the part number of the pin box (king pin) on your trailer. Most king pins will have the pin box number listed on a sticker or stamped on the king pin itself. If it is not there or worn out, you will have to call the trailer manufacturer with your VIN or serial number to have them provide the coupler type and model number, or measure the bolt pattern of the pin box to determine the matching bolt pattern....
view full answer... - Lube Plate to Use with B&W 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch
- I suggest a 10 inch lube plate on your B&W Fifth Wheel Hitch. The Reese # RP83002 is a great choice. There's also a Curt # 16721.
Both will work just fine with your hitch.

- Since you have the pucks pre-installed, you won't need the install kit or anything else. You would simply remove the covers over the pucks in your truck bed and drop in an M5 Series fifth wheel hitch like the # RP30921 for an 20K capacity. B&W also offers the Companion, part # BWRVK3300 which has a 20K capacity that would also drop right into the pucks installed in your truck bed.
An adapter like the # RP30156 would allow you to use a regular fifth wheel hitch designed for use with industry...

- For a 2014 Ford F-250 long bed you will actually need Husky mounting brackets # HT31408. The hardware is also included.
The brackets you mentioned, # HT31413, do not fit the 2014 Ford F-250, they are for various years and versions of the Dodge Ram.

- I have a few solutions for you, however, a gooseneck hitch and a fifth wheel hitch will not typically fit together on a truck. The frame brackets of the gooseneck hitch or fifth wheel hitch will interfere with the frame brackets from the other hitch. This would be the case on your truck if you tried to install the Reese Universal Fifth Wheel Install Kit, # RP30035, that you referenced. The frame brackets for your B and W gooseneck hitch will prevent the frame brackets from fifth wheel base...

- To install an in-bed 7-pole wiring harness that would connect to the rectangular tow package plug under the vehicle, I'd recommend the Hopkins # HM40157 that you'd looked at. The harness would plug inline at the connection between the factory 7-way and the tow package harness, or if the truck doesn't have a 7-way, the male portion of the connector will plug into the female tow package harness. You'd then want to use electrical tape to cover the un-used portion of the connector to protect...

- In order to install the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake Controller part # 90195 on your 2005 Ford F-250 you will want to use the Tekonsha Plug-In Wiring Adapter for Electric Brake Controllers part # 3065-P. The Prodigy P3 is a proportional brake controller which means it will apply braking to the trailer in the same force that they are applied in the tow vehicle.

- A programmer is not necessary to use a cold air intake system. Once an intake system is installed, you will not need to add any other components unless you want to improve your engine performance beyond the capabilities of the intake system. This intake system is designed for 6.4 liter diesel trucks only. I have attached the installation instructions for you to view.
If you wanted to add a monitor to view your engine performance or a programmer to tune your engine for even greater engine...

- Since your Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs # F2550 mount to your axles you will use spacer kit # F2375. The other 6-inch spacer you referenced, part # F2374, is the correct spacer for air spring kits that mount to the leaf spring stack.

- Yes, you are correct that your 2008 Ford F-350 with factory brake controller will not operate when connected to the HydraStar # HBA-10 unless you add the Control Adapter Module # HBA-CAM. This adapter allows the factory controller and the EOH actuator to communicate properly. The adapter works with HBA-10 units with a serial number of 313800 or higher.
view full answer... - Comparing Sliding 5th Wheel and Sidewinder Pivoting Pin Box for Short Bed Ford F-350
- Unless your 5th wheel trailer is equipped with a specialized pivoting pin box (called a Revolution, Sidewinder or Turning Point) you will need a sliding type 5th wheel hitch in order to have enough turning clearance between the truck cab and the trailer overhang. Either a Sidewinder or sliding hitch is necessary to prevent the possibility of the trailer from contacting the cab and damaging the vehicle when you're making tight near-90-degree turns.
For a custom installation kit that will...

- Since you already have the 5th wheel prep package from the factory on your 2011 Ford F-350, you will just need the hitch.

- The correct Curt brake controller vehicle specific wiring harness for a 2007 Ford F-350 would be part
# C51372. This harness is only compatible with Curt brake controllers such as the # C24VV Curt TriFlex.
The # C51432 you referred to is a fit for later model Ford Super Duty trucks, and wouldn't work for your 2007.
The harness would plug into the connector clipped to the rear of the storage pocket located above the ashtray, as shown in the provided photo.
