Expert Answers about Ford F-650 and F-750


  • 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...

  • 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...

  • 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...

  • Options for Controlling Trailer Electric Brakes with Tow Vehicle Air Over Hydraulic Brakes
  • Best solution for towing a trailer with air over hydraulic brakes is to just use an electronic trailer brake controller like the Prodigy p2 part # 90885. Air brakes and air over hydraulic brake systems are not the same.

  • 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...

  • Traile Brake Installation Kit for my 2007 Ford F-650 Bucket Truck
  • The Universal Installation Kit for Trailer Brake Controller part # ETBC7 can be used with any brake controller like the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake Controller part # 90195. This will require a working 4-way flat and for that use the 4-Pole Hardwire Kit with Circuit Tester part # 18252 which you can use to pickup your turn, brake and running light signals. I have linked a video on each of these for you to check out.

  • Suspension Enhancement for a 2005 Ford F-650
  • It sounds like you're looking for air bag suspension for your 2005 Ford F-650. While we don't carry traditional air bag suspension for this, we do carry a variety of jounce-style suspension for it. These have the benefit of not needing constant maintenance and also working progressively with the amount of weight in your bed, making the ride more comfortable when unloaded. For your rear axle, I recommend the Timbren Enhancement System, part # TBDR750. These will reduce your truck's sag...

  • 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...

  • 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.

  • Performance Monitor Recommendation for 2001 Ford F-650 Super Crewzer
  • I spoke with my contact at Edge and he confirmed that the Edge Insight CS2 # EP84030 will work with your 2001 Ford F-650 Super Crewzer. Although keep in mind that this monitor is specifically designed for the F-350, so while it will work, some of the displayed parameters may be different on an F-650. This monitor only system will plug into your Ford F-650 to get OBD-II parameters and diagnostic trouble codes to display on the 2.4 inch high-resolution, full-color screen. This is the only...

  • Help Leveling 5TH Wheel Camper After Installing GEN-Y 5TH Wheel To Gooseneck Pin Box Adapter
  • It looks like you have the Gen-Y Hitch Shock Absorbing 5th Wheel to Gooseneck Pin Box # GY58GR mounted in the highest position. You should be able to raise the pin box in the mounting arms to help lower the front of your trailer on your truck. If you are unable to raise it in the mount arms or this is not enough to level the camper we also have the Correct Track Trailer Alignment and Lift Kit # RR23QX. This will allow you to raise the suspension 1-1/4" or 2-1/4" to help level the camper.

  • Rear SumoSprings for 2020 Fleetwood Bounder on Ford F-53 Chassis
  • For the rear axle on your motorhome's Ford F-53 chassis the correct SumoSprings Helper Spring kit is the part # SSR-180-54-1. I verified this with SuperSprings. These durable high-density urethane springs will provide up to 5,600 pounds of load-leveling support and will absolutely improve your ride by reducing sway and creating a more level setup. I have attached a sample installation video below that you can also check out. The SumoSprings Rebel Custom Helper Springs # SSR-101-47-2...

  • Recommended Pintle Hitch and Lunette Ring for 2015 Ford F-750 with 23,800 lb Trailer
  • For your 2015 Ford F750 boom truck, there is not a ball mount rated for that weight capacity. The largest capacity is 20K for a 2-1/2 inch hitch like # C45458 or 21K for a 3 inch hitch receiver like # C45430. We don't have a trailer hitch receiver rated that high either. It appears the truck does have the towing capacity to handle that trailer, but you will need to use a direct mount like the Curt Pintle Hook - Bolt On - 30,000 lbs # C48215. A pintle hook and lunette ring combination...

  • Is there a Reese Super Titan Trailer Hitch that Bolts On for a 2004 Ford F-750 Funmover RV
  • There is a bolt on version of the Draw Tite Super Titan trailer hitches. It is # 38208. Since the Super Titan hitches are not designed for specific vehicles, you will want to look at the instructions and compare them to your vehicle frame to determine if it will fit. It may require additional customization by a professional hitch installer.

  • Building a Complete Trailer Axle with Wheels that Have a 5 on 5 Bolt Pattern
  • We have what you need here! To start with your axle, we have two choices depending on the length of axle you need. If you need a length of 89", then you can use the Dexter Trailer Axle Beam with EZ-Lube Spindles - 89" Long, part # T3584F-EZ-8974. This is an EZ-Lube axle with a capacity of 3500 pounds. If you need a length of 95", then use part # 7359765. I've linked to videos of both of these.

  • Recommended Brake Controller for Tow Vehicle with Air Brakes
  • For your 2015 F650 tow truck with air brakes, I recommend the Hayes Air Actuated Trailer Brake Controller - 1 to 4 Axles - Proportional # HA100400C. This controller senses the amount of pressure applied to your brakes and then smoothly applies the trailer brakes in proportion. It has the slide bar manual override and will work on trailers with up to 8 brake assemblies. I've attached a review video and installation instructions to assist.
