Expert Answers about Ford F-650 and F-750


  • Timbren Helper Spring Fit for 2007 Ford F-650
  • The Timbren # TBDR750 measures about 9-1/2 inches in height, from the bottom of the spring to the top of the mounting bracket, so that's not going to work for you. I spoke to my Timbren representative, and was told that given the 6 inches of clearance you have between the axle tube and the underside of the frame member, you'd want to use part # TFR650LP. The # TFR650LP sits right about 5-1/2 inches tall which will leave a 1/2 inch gap, which according to Timbren is acceptable, as they'll...

  • How Does Brake Controller Install in 2022 Ford F-650
  • I did some digging and I cannot find any info on if there is a brake controller port under the dash of your truck. Doesn't mean there isn't one but I can't find any info on it or any other year F-650 as well. I'd be inclined to hardwire a controller or maybe check with a dealer although I know they aren't super reliable. We can help with a brake controller though like with the P2 part # 90885 you referenced. Since you have a 7-way you would want the Wiring Kit for 2 and 4 Brake Electric...

  • Install Kit for Hide-A-Goose on a 2013 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD
  • Yes, the rail kit you need to install the head of the Hide-A-Goose Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch part # 9465-54 on your 2013 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD is the Gooseneck Trailer Hitch Installation Rail Kit - Chevy/GMC part # 4456. I will also say that if you were able to sell the Hide-A-Goose Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch part # 9465-54 that you have now it may be more cost effective to just buy the Hide-A-Goose Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch part # 9465-56 instead but the choice...

  • Suspension Enhancement for a 2001 Ford F-650 with a CAT3126B Engine Hauling Cars
  • You do not have to have an on-board compressor to use air springs such as # F2363. You can use a stand alone compressor like in a shop or gas station. The use of the air springs will improve the ride quality by not allowing the suspension to bottom out. For a softer ride you would use less air. The differences in vehicles makes it difficult to quantify ride improvement. Also variations in the amount of air affect the ride quality so it is tough to say how much better the ride will be. However...

  • Brake Controller Solution for 2021 Ford F-750
  • To install a brake controller on your 2017 Ford F750 you will need to hardwire it as there are no factory plugs under the dash. There will be some wires located under your dash that are located on the driver side. You will simply need to use a Circuit Tester # PTW2993 to test them although sometimes manufacturers will label the wiring. I recommend installing the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 # 90195 as it is very easy to install and features a user-friendly LCD screen that doesn't use codes like...

  • Trailer Hitch for 2011 Ford F-650 Ambulance
  • I do have an option for you, however there are not any custom fit trailer hitches available that will work for your 2011 Ford F-650 Regular Cab 2WD DRW Ambulance. The only type of hitch that will work is a universal, weld-on design like the Draw-Tite Ultra Frame # 41990-16. The cross tube on this hitch is 44 inches wide. For a wider, 62 inch cross tube, you can use # 41991-16. Both of these trailer hitches have a gross trailer weight capacity of 16,000 lbs. If you do not feel comfortable...

  • How to Prevent Sagging on my 2005 Ford F-750 Dump Truck
  • I have two really good options for you to solve this sagging issue. Great news is they can be used together if you choose to. The first step will be the Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System part # TBDR750. These will replace your current axle bump stops with larger more robust stops to help prevent the sagging you're experiencing. These have a 15,000 lb. weight bearing capacity and will engage rather quickly as a load goes on the truck. This would be my pick of the two if I were going...

  • Availability Of Anti-Sway Bars For 2011 Ford F-650
  • For the front sway bar for your 2011 Ford F-650 the only available option is the Roadmaster Front Anti-Sway Bar # RM-1179-121 which only fits if you have the 8000lb or 10000lb axle. To confirm that your F-650 has either of these axles I recommend reaching out to Ford with your VIN as they will be able to tell exactly what options your vehicle has. For a rear sway bar I recommend the Roadmaster Rear Anti-Sway Bar # RM-1179-110 as it is a confirmed fit with or without the 8000lb or 10000lb...

  • Does Wiring Connector Plug for Brake Controller Exist on 2000 Ford F-650
  • Not that we know of, but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Brake controller manufacturers only check the most popular vehicles for that kind of thing and since most people don't drive around an F-650 it's possible they haven't even seen one. Regardless, we will be able to get your controller installed so I recommend using the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 # 90195 as it is super easy to use and can be configured to a few different trailers so it's easy to change your settings. What you'll need...

  • Easy to Install Brake Controller Recommendation for 2009 Ford F-750
  • I have a really easy to use Curt brake controller solution for your 2009 Ford F-750 but we don't have any plug and play solutions like you are wanting. Instead though we have the Curt Echo Mobile part # C51180 which basically just plugs into an active 7-way and once synced to a smart phone is ready to tow. It's also a proportional brake controller which means it senses how hard you are applying the vehicle brakes and applies a proportional amount of braking pressure.

  • Finding Stoplight Switch for Installing Brake Controller in 2019 Ford F-750
  • We don't have the install wiring colors of the brake controller install wiring for your 2019 Ford F-750 but what we can help you determine which wire to use for the red wire of the brake controller. What you'll need is a circuit tester like part # PTW2993 and you'll want to test all of the wires leading to the brake pedal switch till you find a circuit that has voltage only when the brakes are applied.

  • How Much Drop Does the Buyers Products 2 inch Pintle Hook Mount Provide?
  • Since the Buyers Products 2" Pintle Hook Mount - 6 Position - 12-1/4" Shank item # 337PM812 is just a mounting plate with no specific attachment installed it doesn't have a listed rise or drop. Considering the 12-1/4 inch tall mounting surface has vertical hole spacing of 1-3/4" and the 2 inch shank, I estimate you could see somewhere between 8-10 inches of drop. I recommend the Curt Pintle Hook - Bolt On - 10,000 lbs item # C48205.
