Expert Answers about Ford F-450 Super Duty


  • How to Disable Grid Lines on GCH Automotive Custom Third Brake Light Camera
  • Yes. In order to disable the grid lines on the Custom Third Brake Light Camera for Aftermarket Monitor - Night Vision # 3460003 you'll need to cut the green wire coming from the camera (or not connect it during installation). If you follow the camera cable that is about 4ft long there will be 2 small wires (green and white) at the end of cable-this is the wire I'm referring to. If you completed the installation already then with that wire already connected then you'll want to unplug that...

  • Do Factory Tow Hooks have to be Removed to Install Westin HDX Grille Guard on a 2014 Ford Super Duty
  • No, I checked with Westin and you will not have to remove the factory tow hooks on your 2014 Ford F-450 to install HDX grille guard # 57-2375. But there are a few caveats for this installation: Trimming of air dam, lower bumper, or lower bumper grille may be required. Product should not be installed on models with Adaptive Cruise Control or Forward Collision Warning Systems that feature grille-mounted laser control sensors.

  • Curt Q24 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch is Hard to Secure in 2016 Ford F-450 with Factory Prep Package
  • Since no 2 trucks of the same year, make, and model will be identical it is possible to run into little issues like this. While I would not suggest using a sledge hammer, maybe a mallet instead, there are some adjustments that you can make to get the Q24 hitch # C16545-16017 to install easier in your 2016 Ford F-450. On the Curt hitch you would adjust the castle nut tighter or looser to get the right amount of tension and then lock the handles closed.

  • Locating Trailer Brake Wiring Connector on a 2010 F450 class C motorhome
  • If your 2010 Ford F450 Class C Motorhome came with the factory 7-way connector the trailer brake wiring connector will be located inside of the cab behind the trim piece towards the passenger side of your vehicle's dash board. I attached a picture of the trim panel I referenced and a picture of the connector to give you an idea of what you are looking for.

  • How is Ventline Rocker Switch Replacement Accessed for Removal
  • When removing a switch like the part # BL0108-00 from a Ventline roof vent there is a tab on the top and bottom of the switch that needs to be pressed for the switch to be able to be pushed out. You'd have to access it from above if you can't find a way to reach and and grab it from the topside.

  • How Much Space Behind The Dee Zee Sepcialty Series Wheel Well Box Is There for Debris To Collect?
  • The DeeZee Specialty Series Wheel Well Toolbox with Drawers, # DZ95D, allows you to access your tools when the tail gate is open. This installation is behind your wheel well, but there will be space between this box and the side wall of your truck the dimension of which is based on your specific truck bed. The tool box has a quick release from its mount allowing you to move the toolbox and take it with you on the job, and this feature also allows easy removal to clean behind it as needed....

  • How to Choose Arm Position for B&W Companion BWRVK3300 Installed in 2017 Ford F-450 Long Bed
  • The B&W Companion 5th wheel hitch that fits your long bed 2017 Ford F-450 Super Duty with the factory rail kit is part # BWRVK3300. In your long bed truck you can probably install the B&W's arms either way. For the maximum clearance use the rear position so long as the king pin does not then sit behind the rear axle. If it does sit behind the rear axle when hitched you'll want to use the forward position. Trailer pin weight that is behind the rear axle will cause excessive sag and could...

  • Should Trailair Pin Box be Used While Waiting for Replacement Hardware
  • While I have not heard of failures or reasons why the lower jaw would need to be replaced, a Trailair Air Ride such as # LC158778 is going to be more prone to chucking than the upgraded Trailair Flex Air such as # LC369535. The reason for that is the Flex Air has a pivoting head which allows for a very limited amount of king pin movement which helps greatly minimize chucking; it also has a rubber compound built into its head to absorb shock. These are two components which the Air Ride does...

  • Can the DeeZee Specialty Series Transfer Tank/Toolbox Combos Be Used While Towing Gooseneck Trailer
  • The DeeZee Specialty Series Transfer Tank/Toolbox Combo part # DZ92647 measures 46-3/4" long x 32-3/4" wide x 25-3/8" tall. If you have space for this box inside the truck bed that is free from interference with the gooseneck trailer then you are good to go. There are no issues in and of itself with using this box with a gooseneck trailer but you will need to have sufficient clearance for the trailer to both couple and turn. The DeeZee Specialty Series Transfer Tank/Toolbox Combo is also...

  • The Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System # TFRSDE is a confirmed fit for your 2016 Ford F-450. The only thing the instructions state is to make sure that the Aeon Spring does not come in contact with the brake line. The springs are designed for and confirmed to fit your vehicle with the brake lines routed in this area with your Dana axle.

  • 1999 E450 Econoline Motor Home Chassis Brake Controller Installation
  • I unfortunately have no knowledge of wire colors used by Winnebago. We typically recommend that folks wire by function, rather than wire color because wire colors are not always consistent. If I understand you correctly, all the OEM wiring basically terminates under the driver's seat, at which point Winnebago used purple wiring to complete the circuits, is that correct? If so, I would recommend installing the controller, and have a helper pulse the manual braking switch on your brake controller....

  • Is it Recommended to Shorten the Length of the Titan Hitch Extension for 2-1/2 inch Trailer Hitches
  • Cutting the back of the Titan Hitch Box Extension for 2-1/2 inch Trailer Hitches, item # RP45018, off is not a concern as long as you leave at least 6 inches behind the center of the hitch pin hole, and you do not excessively heat the extension when cutting it off. Any other modification like drilling, grinding or cutting should be avoided.

  • How to Hook up a Roadmaster Falcon Tow Bar to a 2017 Ford F-450
  • I'm not too sure what you're referring to when you mention the longer side, however I can say that to hook up to your 2017 Ford F-450 you'll just want to make sure the Allen bolts on your Falcon's tow bars are facing up and the nuts are facing down. This should streamline the setup so you don't have to worry about a longer side, just worry about making sure the head is up and the nuts are down. I've attached a video for a 2021 Ford F-150 showing how this process is done.

  • Does Head Setting on Slide Bar Hand-Held Shower Set Completely Shut Off Water
  • The Patrick Distribution RV Slide Bar Hand-Held Shower Set # 277-000035 has a trickle setting that will help you reduce the water flow greatly while you're scrubba-dub-dubbing. It doesn't completely shut off the water because the pressure could cause issues with the connections but it is a great option to conserve water and is basically a standard among RV shower heads. None of our other shower head options has the ability to completely shut off the water so if this is the design that you...

  • Installing Draw-Tite Front Mount Receiver On a 2020 Ford F-450 with Lower Oil Cooler
  • The Draw-Tite Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver # 65076 will fit on your 2020 Ford F-450 Super Duty. I have linked a video below that will show you the installation process on your F-450. In the video the installer refers to it as an intercooler but it is the same oil cooler that you are looking at. The installation process in the video is different than that which is explained in the instructions as the truck used in that demonstration did not have the oil cooler.

  • How Many Bolts Are Used On Curt PowerRide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch for Ford Towing Prep Package
  • In regards to the Curt PowerRide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch for Ford Towing Prep Package part # C48BR, you'll use four M14 hex bolts and washers (two bolts per side) to attach the head to the legs. The 1/2" pins and M14 nuts will not be used but everything else will. The pins are used for standard rail style legs. The head comes with hardware and can be attached to many different legs which is why there is extra.
