Expert Answers about Ford F-250 and F-350


  • Location of Brake Controller Install Connector on 1994 Ford F250
  • If your truck is equipped with the factory 7-way or 4-pole trailer connector, then the brake controller install port will be present. It's usually located under the dash up and to the right of the diagnostic port. Look above and to the right of where your right knee would be if you were sitting in the driver's seat. If you have the factory 7-way, all you'll need to do is mount the controller, and plug in the # 3035-P wiring adapter, and you'll be set. If your truck has the factory 4-pole,...

  • Where is the Factory Connector Located to Install a Brake Controller On a 1996 Ford F-250
  • If your 1996 Ford F-250 came with a factory 7-Way or 4-Way trailer connector, then you can use the # 3035-P brake controller harness that you have referenced. To install it locate the factory connector. It is typically located behind the center console and under the dash. But it also could be behind the lower dash panel beneath the steering column. I have linked a video that should help you.

  • Bolts for Truck Bed in the Way of 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Install on a 1993 Ford F-250 XLT Long Bed
  • That is strange because the Reese universal installation kit # RP30035 that has those L-brackets is listed as a fit for your 1993 Ford F-250. Let's make sure that you have the rails in the right place which will also show us the bracket locations. On your truck you will want to measure from the rear edge of the truck bed forward 32-1/2 inches. This is where the back edge of the rear rail will be. You would then use the hitch to locate the front rail. This would put the center of the hitch...

  • Brake Controller Installation On a 1994 Ford F-350 Pickup

  • How Does Curt Hitch C15511 Fit Both 34 & 37-1/2 Inch Frames on 1993 Ford Super Duty
  • That's a really good question, and the reason the Curt 3-Piece Trailer Hitch Receiver - Multi Fit # C15511 is able to fit both 34 inch and 37-1/2 inch frames on your 1993 Ford is due to the placement of the side plates. If you take a look of the photo I added you can see it has side plates which do not come attached. To fit this to a 37-1/2 inch frame on your '93 Ford you will attach the side plates with the bolt holes facing outward, and to fit the hitch to a 34 inch frame you will attach...

  • Adding a Fan to the Vent of a Lance Truck Camper
  • Yes, you can tie into the wiring from the bathroom light to install a fan for your vent. This vent fan has a switch on the assembly, so you will either have to wire into constant power before the switch to use independently or you will need the swich on to have power to the switch on the fan.

  • Can You Carry a Dirt Bike with the TorkLift SuperTruss Hitch Extension 36"
  • The tongue weight capacity of the TorkLift SuperTruss Hitch Extension 36" part # TLE1536 is 200 lbs if you have the Hero (15K) and 650 lbs if you have the Original (20K) or Magnum (30K). Therefore, if you have the Hero you would likely not be able to get the combo under the capacity limit but if you have the Original or Magnum then you should be good to go. That said, both the weight of the bike and carrier will be factored into tongue weight.

  • How to Install a 16K Fifth Wheel Hitch # RP30047 In the Bed of a Ford F-350 Long Bed
  • Depending on the model year and design of your F-350 there could be one of several fifth wheel installation kits available. If your vehicle is 1998 or older a universal installation kit, item # RP30035, will be needed. This kit includes brackets that install under the bed of the truck and rails that install in the bed of the truck to accept any of the Reese fifth-wheel hitches, like the Reese 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch - 16,000 lbs, item # RP30047, that you mentioned.

  • Looking for 17/32 and 21/32 Size Drill Bits to Install Husky 5t5h Wheel Installation Kit
  • Your best option would be Sears. I checked Sears online and they do list both 17/32 and 21/32 size drill bits. You might also want to try a mom and pop type of hardware store. It is also possible that a friendly mechanic will loan them to you if they have them. The instructions for the Husky 5th wheel installation kit does specify that the holes have to be those exact sizes so you wouldn't want to do any sort of work around or use a different size.

  • Installation Instructions for Reese Universal 5th Wheel Install Kit for 1995 Ford F-250
  • Installation of Reese universal installation kit # RP30035 will not be exactly the same on a 1995 Ford F-250 as it is on a 1997 F-250. Check out page 11 of 23 in the instructions I have linked for the specific steps for your 1995 F-250. We do not have a video on that year. Your bed liner will have to be trimmed or removed to install the 5th wheel rails. I have linked a video that shows how to trim a bed liner for you.

  • Hooking Up Brake Controller to 1995 Ford F-250
  • The process for hooking up a brake controller on your 1995 Ford F-250 is going to depend on if you have the factory 7-way, factory 4-way, or no factory connectors at all. For example, if you have the factory 7-way you would only need the brake controller and plug-in harness like the Curt Venturer NEXT Trailer Brake Controller # C74VV & Wiring Adapter # C51322. If you had the factory 4-way you would need to add a 7-way with the Curt Venturer NEXT Trailer Brake Controller # C74VV, Wiring...

  • Can an Edge Evolution Programmer be Used on More than One Truck
  • The older programmers only worked on one vehicle at a time to prevent people from just passing around. To move it to a different vehicle, it had to be unpaired from the old vehicle and then had to be re-registered with Edge for a fee. Programmers like # EP96TR, and many from this generation, have the ability to add vehicle licenses to tune multiple vehicles with 1 product. Both vehicles would have to be compatible with the tuner.

  • Should 1996 Ford F-250 Overload Springs Be Removed for Air Lift Air Bag Installation
  • Installing the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs, like part # AL57298, on your 1996 Ford F-250 doesn't require the removal of your overload springs unless the air bag kit produces a harsher ride quality. Since this step is labeled as an "if-then" step it wouldn't be a bad thing to just remove the spring entirely right from the start - just note in the instructions how it mentions naturally running the air bags at higher psi ratings as a result of this.

  • Can the Fulton F2 Swing-Up Trailer Jack Be Mounted to an I-Beam Aluminum Boat Trailer
  • First, the closer you get to the axle on the trailer, the heavier that part of the trailer is going to be. That is important because where you mount the jack could determine if it is over or under capacity. You would need to box out the frame so that it is square or rectangle and not an I so the jack can be safely attached. Usually to do this, you would weld on a couple of steel plates. However, welding to aluminum is tricky and requires a very skilled welder with experience. This is probably...

  • Radiator Adapter Fittings for Installing a Transmission Cooler on a 1996 Ford F-250/350
  • For your 1996 Ford truck there are threaded fittings in the radiator which are input and out put from/to the transmission cooler. The fittings allow you to replace the existing fittings with ones that have flared ends for the hose in a supplemental cooler so you do not have to cut and flare lines. Use kit # D13014 if the radiator uses 1/4 inch or 3/8 inch threaded fittings, or use kit # D13024 for 1/2-20 inverted flare fittings. You do not need both kits unless you are not sure of what...
