Expert Answers about Toyota Tundra


  • Getting a Brake Signal to Install a Brake Controller on a 2003 Toyota Tundra
  • You do not want to tap into the brake light on the truck to get the brake signal for the brake controller. There is a closer and easier approach if the brake switch is not accessible. Use the vehicle owners manual to find the location of the stop light fuse or CHMSL fuse. Then you can use a fuse tap, like # F2526, to tap into that circuit and get the require brake light only signal. Make sure that the fuse tap you use is the appropriate size for the stop light or CHMSL fuse in your truck. On...

  • Is Drilling Into the Dash Required to Install a Trailer Brake Controller on a 2013 Toyota Tundra
  • Proportional trailer brake controllers like the P3, # 90195, work much better than time delay controllers but one limitation is that they have to be mounted in the direction of travel and cannot be turned or tilted to the side. Because of the specifics of how they must be mounted, these mounting brackets have to be secured to where ever they are mounted which does often times require drilling. You will also need wiring harness # 3040-P to installation the brake controller. I have included...

  • When installing the Firestone Ride Rite # F2445 with the B&W # BWGNRK1257-5W you won't actually be leaving any bolt holes empty.

  • What is Needed to Install Tekonsha Prodigy P2 Brake Controller # 90885 on a 2005 Toyota Tundra
  • To install the Tekonsha Prodigy P2 Brake Controller, part # 90885, on your 2005 Toyota Tundra you will need to have a 7-Way connector on the rear of your vehicle. The 2005 Toyota Tundra that would have a factory brake controller port under the dash for the brake controller to plug into would have a factory installed 7-Way at the rear. Since you have only a 4-Way connector on the rear of your vehicle, there is usually no brake controller port available for the brake controller to plug into....

  • Can Curt Friction Sway Control 17200 be Mounted on Either Side of Trailer
  • You can mount the # 17200 on either side of your trailer. You will need to loosen the handle and the other bolt below it, pull the inside arm out, flip it over, then reinsert it. You will then need to unscrew the handle on top and the nut. Completely remove them both and the mounting plate. Then rotate the plate 180 degrees and put the handle where the nut was and the nut where the handle was. Then, when you flip the unit over to use on the other side of the trailer, everything will be...

  • Can the 30-800 Trailer Jack Be Rotated 120 Degrees So Grease Zerk is Accessible
  • Assuming the spacing between the three mounting bolts is equal, you can rotate the jack. 120 degrees, but keep in mind that the toolbox could interfere with the crank. If you used a grease gun with a flexible nozzle like # 30-800, you'd be able to access the zerk fitting without rotating the jack.

  • How to Install LEER Tonneau Cover on 2018 Toyota Tundra with OEM Deck Rail System
  • The 2020 Toyota Tundra we have in the linked video didn't come with the OEM rails for us to demonstrate how to install that configuration of the Leer Hard Tonneau Cover # LE87VR BUT from what I'm seeing it looks like the larger part of the clamp slides into the tonneau rail and then the smaller part of the clamp slides into the OEM rails on your 2018 Toyota Tundra. I've attached a photo to help show what I'm talking about.

  • Using Front Hitch To Move Trailer With Hydraulic Surge Brakes
  • If you have a manual lockout, you will be able to use that and navigate with your front hitch without any wiring. If you have an electric lockout, you will need to supply 12 volts to that solenoid to release the brakes. I'd suggest getting a matching connector for your trailer like # PK11893 or # HM47900 and hardwiring the reverse wire directly to your battery and run a ground wire to the negative battery terminal from the connector. This will allow you to have that single function to...

  • Voyager Trailer Brake Controller 39510 Wiring Installation in 2002 Toyota Tundra
  • Yes, on trailer brake controller installation the red input-signal wire will connect to the COLD side of the brake light switch; this is the pole that goes hot only when you press the pedal and at no other time. The other three wires on a brake controller are 12V operating power (black wire) that connects to the battery + terminal through a 40-amp breaker like # PK54540; the ground (white wire) that connects to the battery negative terminal; and the blue output wire that gets routed to...

  • Does the MagnaFlow Cat-Back System # MF16865 Interfere with O2 Sensors When Installed
  • All of your current exhaust senors will remain intact and unaffected when you go to install the MagnaFlow Cat-Back System part # MF16865 on your 2007 Toyota Tundra. The reason for this is that the sensors are all on the same pipes as your catalytic converters, and since this system bolts to the outlet of your cat pipes none of them would be affected. There would not be any PCM changes that would be required once this system is installed either. I attached a couple helpful links on cat-back...
