To get the brake and dome light functions on your 2003 Dodge Ram to your camper shell or topper the easiest place to find both is at the third brake light. There you will have the third brake light signal and the bed light/dome light that illuminates the rear.
Use a circuit tester like Hook Probe Circuit Tester part # PTW2993 to identify which of the wires running into the light have power when you hit the brake and what wire has power only when the dome light is turned on. These will... view full answer...
For your 2004 Dodge Ram, it sounds like you have the factory 4-way plug, but you need to add a brake controller. For your application, I recommend the brake controller wiring kit # ETBC7 because there are not wires for the 12V power and brake controller output for you to tap into run to the back of your vehicle.
There is not a 12V power wire run at all, and the brake controller output wire you mentioned is on only run under the hood behind the driver's side wheel well. You will need... view full answer...
Thank you for sending the photo, it really makes things easier!
The connector you show in your photo is not the connector for installing a brake controller. If you look on the firewall behind the emergency brake, you will see a white wiring junction box. The blue female connector that accepts the # 3020-P brake control wiring adapter is located alongside or on top of this junction box, as you can see in the photo I have edited for you. I have also linked you to an install video that shows... view full answer...
I went out to the warehouse to confirm and the 1/4" air line in the Air Line Service Kit for Firestone Ride-Rite/Sport-Rite Air Helper Springs # F2012 will fit directly into the tee and elbow fittings that come with the kit. You do need to ensure you push line enough so that it "catches" in the fittings. view full answer...
Yes, your spare tire will be able to remain exactly where it is after you install the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver # 75420 on your 2004 Dodge Ram 1500. There is plenty of room for the hitch and spare tire to co-exist, as you can see in the accompanying photo of the underside of the truck with the hitch installed.
I have added a link to a video install of this hitch on an '04 Ram for you to take a look at as well. view full answer...
The bolts required to install the Demco 50-Degree A Frame Trailer Coupler # DM13205-95 are 3/8" diameter x 1-3/4" long Grade 5 bolts. I spoke with the manufacturer and they confirmed that you won't want to use Grade 8 bolts on this install since they won't provide enough flex and may end up shearing through the coupler frame or breaking off completely. view full answer...
If you have industry standard rails in your Ram 2500 Mega Cab, then a sliding hitch like the Reese 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Round Tube Slider - Dual Jaw - 16,000 lbs # RP30075 would work.
If you do not have industry standard rails but have a factory OEM tow package, you would need an adapter, like the Reese 5th Wheel Rail Adapter for Ram OEM 5th Wheel Towing Prep Package - 25,000 lbs # RP30154.
If you can tell me the rails you have currently, we can determine if they are industry standard... view full answer...

Is this a license plate frame? When are you wanting it to light? I wouldd recommend wiring it to come on with your headlights by tapping into the license plate light circuit. The frame would light up when your headlights were turned on. If you are wanting it to light as the brakes were applied, locate one of the wires for the brake light circuit and tap into that. The easiest place to access this wiring would be behind the taillights. view full answer...

The Curt hitch part # 31320 attaches to the frame of your 2007 Dodge Ram 1500. The frame of a vehicle would not be a "crumple zone" and this hitch has been tested on your vehicle to be safe. The front end part of a vehicle that is designed to crumple in accidents is the bumper not the frame. view full answer...
It sounds like you are trying to determine if the trailer will be level while coupled to the tow vehicle. If that is the case then what you need to do is measure the distance from the ground to the bottom of the skid plate on the pin box and then from the ground to the top of the skid plate on the 5th wheel hitch. The height of the hitch and skid plate are both adjustable so you may need to tweak these as well. I would try to get these two as close to level as you can but keep in mind you... view full answer...
The 12V power pin on a vehicle 7-Way originates from the vehicle battery. What it runs through and how it gets to the back of the vehicle can vary depending on what the vehicle is equipped with. Some vehicles will run it through their computer system while others will use a wiring kit like our Universal # ETBC7 which runs the wiring straight from the battery, through an auto circuit breaker, and directly to the 7-Way (see wiring diagram).
If you're trying to troubleshoot that wire you'll... view full answer...
If you look at the diagram from the installation instructions I've provided for you, you'll be able to see that the flanges of the front mounted receiver attach to the sides of the frame members, and the crossbar of the hitch will sit under the frame.
I don't have any information about the plow set-up you're using, or how it installs to the vehicle, so I cannot say if there will be any interference, but you should be able to compare the way the hitch attaches to the plow mounts, and determine... view full answer...
