According to CargoSmart you want to use the largest grade 5 bolt that will fit the # 3481765 mounting holes. The mounting hole measures .43". You should be able to find these at a local hardware store. view full answer...
The install bolts that come with the Curt Hitch part # C14011 for your 2000 Ford Excursion require an 18 mm socket.

The Firestone Single Gauge HD Compressor kit part # F2097 would be a great way to monitor air pressure and inflate the bags of the Firestone kit part # F2255 that fits your 2001 Ford Excursion but you do not have to use a compressor at all if you don't want to. You could get by without a compressor at all installed on your vehicle and just inflate the bags at home if you wanted. view full answer...
There should be wiring from the tow package wiring down along the driver's side frame rail where it plugs into another connector. If it is not present on your 2005 Ford Excursion it is possible that it is above the gas tank but that just seems like a really bad place to put it. You could always bypass the factory wiring for the 12 volt circuit and run your own wire # 12-1-1 (sold by the foot) to the vehicle battery via a 40 amp circuit breaker # PK54540. view full answer...
To access the correct port to insert # 3035-P, you may need to remove the dash panel on the driver side under the steering column. The connector you need will be on the far right, near the center console area. I have included a link to the instructions for reference and a link to a video showing installation on a similar truck. The video will give you the best idea of where to look for the connector and what it looks like so you will know it when you see it on your truck. view full answer...
If your 2000 Ford Excursion has a factory installed 7-Way trailer connector, all you will need is the brake controller and wiring harness like you have stated. You would use # 90885 for the brake controller and # 3035-P for the wiring harness. After installing the brake controller according to the installation instructions (linked for reference) installation would be complete.
If your Excursion came with a factory 4-Way flat trailer connector, you would need an additional part, Adapter... view full answer...
The Derale Transmission Cooler part # D14208 that you referenced is designed to fit your 2005 Ford Excursion as long as you have one of the following transmissions:
E4OD, 4R100, 5R100, or 5R100W
You can remove the crossmember to install the # D14208, but most guys are able to just slide the pan back towards the rear of the vehicle once the bolts are removed and you will be able to remove your stock pan and install the new pan without dropping the cross member. view full answer...
You will need to determine the flow of the transmission fluid in order to install the aftermarket cooler in-line with the factory.
The fluid needs to travel from the transmission, to the factory cooler, to the aftermarket cooler, then back to the transmission. One of the fittings on your transmission should be marked RETURN. Trace this line back to the factory cooler.
Disconnect this line from the factory cooler, and reconnect it to which ever end of the aftermarket cooler you choose... view full answer...
I think I know what is going on with your Thule M.O.A.B. Roof Top Cargo Carrier # TH690. I went out and talked to one of our installers and he said he had the same problem you are describing when he had the mounting points too close to the thicker bars that run from front to back on the cargo basket. If you space the mounting brackets a little farther away from those bars the problem you are experiencing should go away.
If the mounting brackets are too close to those bars the lock covers... view full answer...
The Wide-Track Wheel Assembly, # F500266, fits a specific jack, the Fulton F2 Adjustable A-Frame Jack, # F1413250334. The assembly slides up into the bottom of the jack tube and the pin goes through the holes. There is no cutting or welding required. I made a video showing the installation of a wheel in the jack for you.
If you are trying to install the wheel on a different jack, it will not be compatible. If it is a different jack model, let me know what it is, and I can see if there... view full answer...
Yes, I do have an idea regarding the Out of Stroke issue you are seeing on the Lippert Ground Control 3.0 # LC675817. According to the instruction manual, the issue is likely a bent or damaged jack (or jacks), especially since you have already done the manual override.
To replace the bent or damaged jacks you will need either the Replacement Right Jack # LC344792 or Replacement Left Jack # LC305339. view full answer...
The Karrier ST175/80R13 Radial Trailer Tire, part # AM10210 is not a directional tire.
With that being said radial tires should not be rotated from side to side. They can be switched front to back, however. They have a directional belt pattern and after several miles are put on the tires they should not be rotated. view full answer...
I spoke with my contact at Tekonsha and he said the brake switch warning (see image at right) that comes with your Tekonsha and Draw-Tite brake controllers refers to hard-wiring a brake control directly to the brake light switch. The warning is due to the cruise circuit acting like the Brake light circuit, but going direct to ground with the brake released.
Since you are using a factory plug and a plug and play harness and not cutting and splicing any wiring this warning does not apply... view full answer...
Yes. There is drilling required to install the AirLift # AL57340 on your 2005 Ford Excursion, but if you're looking for an installation that doesn't require drilling then I recommend using the AirLift # AL88154. These air bags will mount using existing holes in your vehicle's frame, so they're much easier to install. I actually like these particular bags a bit more since they've got an internal jounce bumper that helps protect the bags if they're ever not quite inflated enough and provides... view full answer...
There are 2 instructions links for the Reese Strait-Line Weight Distribution system, # RP66074. I have included updated links to the instructions for you to view. One is for the weight distribution system itself. The other is for the dual-cam sway control. I have also included a link to a video and to our FAQ on weight distribution for you. view full answer...
The reason you can't use the stop light circuit of the trailer wiring on your motorhome is because that circuit also carries the blinker signal. You have to find a dedicated stoplight circuit and that is why the install instructions recommend you find that under the hood of the towed vehicle.
I attached an install video that shows this getting installed in a similar Ford SUV as yours. view full answer...
You will naturally be better off if your shop does NOT break off the factory weld nuts when removing the OEM hitch from the frame rails on your 2001 Excursion. Given the vehicle's age its quite likely that the bolts securing the OEM hitch will have some rust. Application of a solvent like PB Blaster or WD40 will help dissolve that accumulated corrosion and give them better odds of getting the hitch off without damage so that you can install either Curt hitch # C14011 or TorkLift # TLF1006.

The Timbren front-axle jounce spring kit that fits your 2002 Ford Excursion 4X4, part # TFF350SD4, installs in place of the vehicle's factory bump stops so their installation should be totally unaffected by the Bilsteins. The kit is a no-drill bolt-on installation that uses included custom brackets and hardware. view full answer...
You will want to mount the controller in an accessible area like the under the dash on the driver's side. Mounting the brake controller in an accessible location on your 2002 Ford Excursion is necessary so that you will not only be able to view the display and easily access the vertical slide, but also so that if there is a situation where you need to apply the trailer brakes without pressing the truck brakes you can access the controller.

Yes, the Edge Insight CS2 Comprehensive Gauge Display part # EP84030 will read and display boost levels on your 2001 Ford Excursion with 7.3 PowerStroke engine. There won't be any additional sensors needed for this either as the device comes with everything that you need. I called my contact at Edge to confirm this for you. view full answer...
