- When Using the Redarc Tow-Pro Elite In User Controlled Mode Does the Power Ramp Up or Apply Instant
- The user controlled mode on the Redarc Tow-Pro Elite Trailer Brake Controller part # RED44FR will act similar to a timed-delay brake controller. Therefore, the amount of power applied to the trailer brakes when in the user controlled mode will ramp up to the pre-set level to ensure the brakes on the trailer do not lock up. For example, if you were to turn the brake controller up to the highest setting while in user controlled mode, the amount of voltage sent to the trailer's brakes would...

- The Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake Controller part # 90195 will draw 1 amp of current per volt sent to the trailer brakes on a tandem axle trailer and 1/2 amp of current per volt sent to the trailer brakes on a single axle trailer. Therefore, the max amp draw would be around 12 for a tandem axle trailer or 6 for a single axle trailer. In order to transfer the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 from one vehicle to another you would need both the Pigtail Wiring Harness part # 7894 and the Replacement...

- We have several trailer hitches that are a confirmed fit for your 1972 Dodge Full Size Pickup. I have included a link to all of the trailer hitches that are a confirmed fit.
The B & W trailer hitch, part # BWHDRH25122, is the only hitch that does not require drilling for installation. I spoke with my contact at B & W and he said they do not recommend their hitches be installed upside down because they are not designed and tested that way.
An adjustable ball mount, like # RP21141, could...

- Peterson brake/turn signal light # 435800 is sealed and cannot be opened up to change out the bulb. I pulled one from the warehouse to verify this and cannot get the lens off (without breaking it) to access the bulb/interior of the light.
What I recommend is to use an LED light, # STL43RB, because the LEDs will last much longer than a regular incandescent bulb. For a grommet use # A45GB and for a wiring harness use # A45PB.

Once it is in place you would use the hitch to locate the front rail. I have included a link to the installation instructions for you. You will want to look at sheet 19 of 23 in addition to the common instructions at the front of the instructions.
view full answer... - What is Correct Placement Of Goose Neck Hitch Ball in Full Size Pickup
- A goose neck hitch ball, or the center of a 5th wheel hitch head for that matter, will be located either right over the rear axle or an inch or so forward of it. You do not want a goose neck hitch ball to be located behind the rear axle since this would cause the trailer's tongue weight to push down on the rear end causing lots of sag and at the same time lift the front end of the truck. The elevated front end would cause your lights to be aimed too high and would also negatively affect...
