  • Can E-Track Attach Directly to Wood Floor with Wood Screws
  • If you wanted to install E-track like the # EM59150 directly to a wood floor using wood screws you could but you'd want to put a screw in each mounting hole like you mentioned. This attachment method would easily allow the track to have it's full capacity of 2,000 lbs.

  • Availability of a Trailer Wiring Harness To Fit A 1986 Nissan D21 Hardbody Truck

  • Parts Needed to Wire Lighting Functions When Flat Towing a 1997 Nissan Pickup Truck
  • The Hopkins Vehicle Wiring Harness, # HM43505, is for the Nissan if it were towing a trailer and needed to power the trailer lights. Instead, there are a couple of different options for when you are towing the Nissan and need lights. Since you mentioned that you wanted to power the Nissan lights, you will want to use a diode kit, # RM-154. Installing this kit will put the turn signals and brake lights on the same bulb and the running lights will be on a separate bulb. If you want the turn...

  • Trailer Wiring Harness for First Half 1986 Model Year Nissan Pickup Trucks
  • It sounds like your 1986 Nissan Pickup was built in the first half of that model year life cycle. The harness for the 1986 , # C55353 has a converter and is for 1986.5 mid-year models. If your truck does not have separate turn signals and brake lights then this harness will work. You would have to hardware in harness # 18252. I have linked a video that shows how you will need to test the wires, either at that round plug you mentioned or behind each tail light to wire in the harness. This...

  • Recommended Tonneau Cover for 1997 Nissan Short Bed Pickup
  • It looks like you're looking for a budget-friendly tonneau cover for your 1997 Nissan short bed pickup. We do offer some great options, but the # TPLR-3095 you'd asked about is a fit for a later model Ford Super Duty short bed, so it wouldn't fit your truck. For your regular cab truck, I'd recommend the Truxedo TruXsport, part # TX273101 which is a roll up tonneau like the one you'd looked at. I recommended one of these covers to a buddy of mine who purchased it a couple of months ago,...

  • Diagnosing Trailer Wiring Problem on 1995 Nissan Pickup
  • A ground problem is a possibility but having an insufficient ground connection usually causes the trailer lamps to behave erratically, or to work properly until the vehicle headlights are switched on. The best place to start would be to use a circuit tester like part # PTW2993 and test the trailer connector as each function is tested. This will tell you if the problem exists on the vehicle or the trailer. If your testing shows that the trailer connector is functioning properly, then...

  • Installation of Trailer Tail Light Kit # TL5RK
  • To answer the second question first, the lights are submersible meaning water can drain out. You will want to seal up the electrical connections as best as possible. Heat shrink tubing works well. You can also coat them in liquid electrical tape, # SWC50122. For the side marker lights you would splice the power wire into the running light wire using a quick splice connector. Because this is a wishbone harness (it has 2 running light wires, one for each side) you would really only need...

  • Can a Rear Mount Trailer Hitch be Used on the Front of a 1996 Nissan 4x4 Pickup Truck
  • I do have a solution for you but you will not be able to use a rear mount hitch on the front of a vehicle. Some trailer hitch manufacturers we carry do not give us the hitch dimensions because it is proprietary information. But I can tell you that the hitches you have listed are not going to fit at the front of your 1996 Nissan pickup. The frame is narrower at the front but beyond that it would require modification to the hitch and/or the vehicle that would void the hitch warranty and...

  • Recommendations for an Electric Radiator Fan for a 1984 Datsun 720 2.4L V6
  • In regards to fans, it is not the size that matters it is the airflow. Electric fans are not necessarily vehicle specific. If you have # D16908 that you have referenced, it puts out 450 cubic feet of air per minute. This is not very much and a fan that can generate more would be needed. Typically, a 6 cylinder motor requires 1,600 to 2,000 cubic feet per minute. The fans that you could use largely depends on the space you have in the engine compartment to mount them. I recommend getting...

  • Recommended Parts Needed To Install 7-Way Trailer Harness On 1993 Nissan Pickup
  • If you are replacing the White ground wire on your 7-way trailer connector you can use 12 gauge wire like part # 12-1-1. This is Black wire but will work for replacing the White wire you said you have. For your 1993 Nissan pickup truck I recommend first installing a 4-way trailer connector like part # HM43505. This is a simple installation. You just plug the harness into the truck wiring located behind the driver and passenger tail lights. I have attached a drawing that shows how this...
