  • What Parts Are Needed To Install A 16K Reese Fifth Wheel To A 1996 Ford F350 With 8 Foot Bed
  • You want to check your rails, to see if you have the 4-bolt rails or the 10-bolt rails. For your 1996 Ford F350 8 foot bed the 10-bolt rails are part # RP58058.

  • Installing New Trailer Connector to Use Trailer Brake Controller on 1994 Ford F-250
  • The Curt T-Connector 4-Pole harness you referenced, # C55316, is a correct fit for your 1994 Ford F-250 and plugs in to a factory connector at the rear bumper to provide basic lighting functions for your trailer. If your truck does not have a factory 7-way trailer connector you will need to have this working 4-pole connector in place to install one for use with a brake controller. You will also need a trailer brake controller, such as the reliable and popular Prodigy P2 # 90885, as well...

  • Are Spacers Needed for Air Bag Installation in Lifted 1996 Ford F250 Crew Cab
  • If your truck has a 4-inch suspension lift, rather than a body lift, then you will need 4-inch spacers to install a rear-axle air bag kit like the Firestone Ride-Rite # F2071. You can use Lift Spacer kit # F2370. If you have a body lift, no spacers are needed. The basic Ride-Rite kit comes with everything you need to install and manually inflate the air bags. If you wish to add a compressor to allow adjustment from the comfort of your driver's seat you can add kit # F2158 which will control...

  • Parts Needed to Install a Trailer Brake Controller on a 1994 Ford F-350 Crew Cab 7.3 Liter Diesel
  • As long as the 1994 Ford F-350 came with a factory trailer connector (4-Way or 7-way are the most common) you can use the Tekonsha Wire Replacement, # 3035-P. This harness fits your truck and the Tekonsha Primus Brake Controller, # TK90160. I have included links to the installation details for both parts for you. If the truck did not come with a factory installed trailer wiring connector of any kind, you would need to hardware the brake controller. For that you would first have to install...

  • Converting a 6-Way Trailer Connector to a 7-Way Trailer Connector on a 1994 Ford F-350
  • Converting a 6-Way connector to a 7-Way connector will be easy. A 6-Way connector already has most of the functions used by a 7-Way, the only one missing is a circuit for reverse lights. If the trailer you plan to tow does not need a reverse light circuit, you will not even need to add one. You will need a 7-Way RV style vehicle side trailer connector. I recommend going with the Hopkins Endurance Multi-Tow, # HM48470, since it handles 7-Way, 5-Way, and 4-Way trailer connectors. In order...

  • Parts Needed to Install Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake Controller 90195 in 1993 Ford F-350
  • I confirmed with Tekonsha that they do not offer a brake controller quick-connect harness for your 1993 Ford F-350 but you can still install their outstanding Prodigy P3 trailer brake controller # 90195. If you have a factory 7-way and the under-dash connection port you can make your own harness. You can use the pigtail plug that comes with the P3 along with Curt harness # C51312. Simply cut off the black plug (which would normally connect to a Curt brand brake controller) and splice the...

  • Which Class V Hitch for 1996 Ford F-350 with Deep Drop Bumper
  • It sounds like you've got the deep drop bumper on your 1996 Ford F-350, so the correct B&W Class V hitch for your truck is the # BWHDRH25198. It sounds like they potentially got you the # BWHDRH25122 to start, which is for use on the standard bumpers or step bumpers instead of the 12" deep drop that you've got. I've linked an installation video of this hitch for you to check out in case you want to do the installation yourself this time, as well as all of the trailer wiring harness options...

  • Adding a New 7-Way Trailer Connector to a 1992 Ford F-250 that Previously Had a 7-Way
  • What you will need to do is test the plugs you have found with a circuit tester like # PTW2993 if needed. You will be testing for the various lighting functions, brake controller output (if still installed) and a good ground. If all the signals are there and working properly, you can hardwire in a 7-Way trailer connector. I recommend a multi-tow, like # HM48470, so you will have a 4-Way, 5-Way, and a 7-Way. What you will do is remove the plug on the end that works, clip it off, and attach...

  • Adding a 7-Way Connector to 1996 Ford F-350 for Slide-In Camper
  • To add a 7-way to your 1996 Ford F-350 you will want to install the 7-Way Pre-Wired Car Connector # 20023, which is a confirmed fit for your truck. I've added a link to a help article on trailer wiring which details the functions of the connector. This will be a hard wire application and includes the installation instructions. As for an isolator I believe you are referring to a solenoid. For that you want the Battery Isolation Solenoid # PK5231201 which is going to switch off your F-350's...

  • How to Have 7-Way Connectors at the Rear Bumper and in Bed for a 1996 Ford F-350
  • If you have a fully functioning 7-Way in the bed of your 1995 Ford F-350 then you should be able to simply use a tee connector like the Curt # C56000 to tee into the US Car Connector behind the 7-Way for your gooseneck. You can use the attached picture and a circuit tester # PTW2993 to make sure you have all of the functions. You will need to use the manual override from your brake controller to make sure that the brake controller is sending power back to the 7-Way. It is possible that...

  • Which Brake Controller Install Harness Fits 1994 Ford F-350 for Tekonsha Prodigy P2
  • The reason you are having issues installing the Tekonsha Prodigy part # 90885 is because the correct install harness you need for your truck is the part # 3035-P and not the 3036. If you replace the install harness the brake controller will function again.

  • What Spacers are Available To Accommodate a 6" Lift on My 1995 Ford F-250
  • Depending on the size of the bolt on your 1995 Ford F-250, we have a couple of options for spacers. Timbren does recommend 1/2" to 1 1/2" clearance between your Timbren and the contact point when the truck isn't under a load. The spacer is a solution if there is more than that clearance. If your bolt is a 1/2" bolt you will need the Timbren 1" Spacer For Raised Frame Vehicles - 1/2" bushing # TA25723-90AD00 or the Timbren 1/2" Spacer For Raised Frame Vehicles - 1/2" bushing # TA25722-90F00.
