For starters, the oem brake controller on your 2009 Ford F-350 has a proportional design which means it would not put out 12 volts or anywhere close while using the brake pedal at a stop. That said, if you are having issues with weak brakes while in motion then there could be a few other issues. The first thing I recommend you do is make sure the brake controller is turned all the way up and then start testing the wire from the vehicle connector all the way back to the magnets with the... view full answer...
I checked the owner's manual for the 2004 Acura RSX.
On page 188 in the Maintenance section it states to use tire chains only on the front wheels. It also states you can only use Class S chains only.
If you want to let me know what size tires are installed on the vehicle I will be glad to make some recommendations that will work for you. view full answer...
The Thule AirScreen Fairing for Roof Racks TH8701 if purchased new would have come with adapters for both aero and square crossbars. If you have misplaced the square crossbar adapters then you can replace them with part # 853-7362. The square crossbar adapters are designed to work specifically with the Thule square load bars but the load bars included with the SportRack Semi-Custom Roof Rack for Naked Roofs part # SR1010 have the same dimensions (1-1/4" wide) therefore should allow you... view full answer...
The Curt # C11290 that you mentioned will not fit a 2003 - 2005 Acura RSX. The # C11290 will fit the following Acura Models:
2001 - 2003 Acura CL
1999 - 2003 Acura TL
I am afraid that we do not offer a trailer hitch for the 2003 - 2005 Acura RSX at this time. If you are needing to haul cargo, there may be other solutions available such as a roof rack or trunk bike rack. If this is something you want to look into, feel free to fill me in on what you are needing to carry, and I am happy... view full answer...
The Giant Talon 27.5.1 trail bike has a slanted top frame tube which means that transporting it on a hanging style bike carrier like the Thule Gateway Pro 3 # TH78VR will be made simpler and safer by use of an adapter bar like Thule's # TH982XT. The adapter bar connects between the seat and handlebar posts to provide a level mounting surface to mate with the carrier's arms. This will help keep the bike level to maintain safe ground clearance at the wheels. Please refer to the linked video. view full answer...
Yes, the Thule Passage 2 Bike Carrier - Trunk Mount Item # TH910XT will fit your 2006 Acura RSX Type S. I did some checking up on the Type S models and based on what I found I do not foresee any fit issues with the Thule Passage.
If you will be carrying any bikes that do not have a top frame bar that goes straight across (like a typical men's bike would) then I recommend using bike adapter bar # 64005. This will allow you to carry those bikes more level and will provide better ground clearance.... view full answer...
The oil filter that comes with Derale Remote Transmission Filter Kit, # D13090, functions the same way as the oil filter for the engine oil on your 2002 Acura RSX, so no it will not restrict oil flow to the transmission.
The kit includes 3/8 inch NPT x 3/8 inch barb fittings for the hose. It also comes with an Insta-dapt adapter to tap into the lines and the filter nipple is a 3/4-16 and fits the included filter.
The extra port for the temperature gauge is located on the Derale Remote... view full answer...
You can use the Swagman Trailhead 3 Bike Rack, # S63365, with a Class I hitch on your 2003 Acura RSX, just keep in mind that you will be limited to carrying two bikes due to the capacity of the hitch.
It is not recommended to carry more than 2 bikes at a time on a Class I hitch because of the additional leverage that is applied on the hitch by 3 or more bikes mounted further away from the hitch. It is similar to adding a pipe on the end of a wrench to gain additional torque to loosen... view full answer...
The muffler on your 2003 Acura RSX will not need to be removed, but it will need to be lowered when installing the (discontinued) Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver C11154 as you can see in the attached installation instructions.
If you check out the attached video of the Draw-Tite # 75650 on a 2009 Subaru Forester you can see one of our installers walking through the process of lowering the exhaust.
Please note that per the Curt warranty you will need to use a support strap, like part # 18050,... view full answer...
Your only cargo carrying option for your cross-country trip include ABS plastic rooftop cargo boxes that can mount to your Yakima Q-Tower roof rack.
Many cars have a rooftop cargo weight capacity of about 100-lbs (but check your Acura RSX owner's manual to be sure!). The thing about a cargo box is that even empty smaller ones like the Yakima Skybox 12 # Y07334 can weigh upwards of 40 - 50-lbs. This means that you've potentially used up about half of your roof's weight capacity just for... view full answer...
