Why type of plug does your 2006 Ford F-350 currently have? Is it a 6-way, or a 7-way plug? Does your horse trailer have the same style plug, or do you use an adapter? Please let me know and I would be glad to offer a solution for you. view full answer...
When mounting a cast head coupler like Bulldog # BDA256C0317 to its mounting channel you will want to torque the mounting bolts to the specification indicated by the manufacturer in the instructions. The torque spec will vary from coupler to coupler. You do not want the head to be loose in the mounting channel; the design of such couplers relies on a firm grip of the coupler head inside the channel to allow it to deliver its rated performance.

Actually, Ford didn't equip their trucks with the plug in brake controller provision until the 1994 model year so you'll need to hardwire the # 90885 Tekonsha P2 brake controller. It's a pretty easy process.
How you'd proceed will depend on how the truck's currently equipped. If it doesn't currently have a trailer connector of any kind, you'd install the # 118316 to access the taillight circuits and use the # ETBC7 install kit which includes an adapter that would plug into the 4 pin connector... view full answer...
That's a really good question, and the reason the Curt 3-Piece Trailer Hitch Receiver - Multi Fit # C15511 is able to fit both 34 inch and 37-1/2 inch frames on your 1993 Ford is due to the placement of the side plates.
If you take a look of the photo I added you can see it has side plates which do not come attached. To fit this to a 37-1/2 inch frame on your '93 Ford you will attach the side plates with the bolt holes facing outward, and to fit the hitch to a 34 inch frame you will attach... view full answer...
The process to install the Pulse Preventer for Electric Brake Controllers part # 5501 on a vehicle with factory brake controller port entails locating the stop light switch wire in that harness (usually red) and splicing into this between the brake controller side and vehicle side. The other wire then get tied into the brake light circuit on the vehicle. I have attached a wiring diagram for you below.
Please note, the pulse preventer is designed to allow you to tow a trailer with electric... view full answer...
Since your Ford F-250 is a 1993 there are no specific instructions on where to measure for the base rail placement. I called Cequent, who owns Reese, and my contact said that you will need to install the rails so that the center of the spacing between the rails is either over or in front of your rear axle. You will then need to make sure that there are places along the body frame to install the brackets. view full answer...
The 9-Way Round Pin Trailer Connector - Vehicle Side # R9CB will connect simply by stripping the wires and using the screws located at each pin to connect your wires. Then you simply reconnect the two screws that secure the connector to the housing. I've attached a video to assist.
The 9-Way Round Pin Trailer Connector - Trailer Side # R9TB will install in the same way. I've attached a video of the installation of a 7-way which will be a very similar installation. I recommend using... view full answer...
Installing the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs, like part # AL57298, on your 1996 Ford F-250 doesn't require the removal of your overload springs unless the air bag kit produces a harsher ride quality. Since this step is labeled as an "if-then" step it wouldn't be a bad thing to just remove the spring entirely right from the start - just note in the instructions how it mentions naturally running the air bags at higher psi ratings as a result of this. view full answer...
For your 1996 Ford truck there are threaded fittings in the radiator which are input and out put from/to the transmission cooler. The fittings allow you to replace the existing fittings with ones that have flared ends for the hose in a supplemental cooler so you do not have to cut and flare lines.
Use kit # D13014 if the radiator uses 1/4 inch or 3/8 inch threaded fittings, or use kit # D13024 for 1/2-20 inverted flare fittings. You do not need both kits unless you are not sure of what... view full answer...
The Draw-Tite Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 65015 which is a fit for your 1993 Ford F-250/F-350 so long as it is 4x4 will require the front bumper to be removed (4 bolts) and then reinstalled. I have attached a photo that shows how the hitch will mount so you can compare that to how your brush guards mounts and determine compatibility. However, we have not yet tested this hitch so I would not able to inform you of its compatibility with an aftermarket brush guard. view full answer...

For most applications, the factory plug for installing a brake controller is located beneath the dash, near the center console. You will need to remove the lower dash panel underneath your steering wheel to access it. Check out the picture I attached to see it pointed out.
I also attached an install video for you to check out as well.

Depending on the model year and design of your F-350 there could be one of several fifth wheel installation kits available. If your vehicle is 1998 or older a universal installation kit, item # RP30035, will be needed. This kit includes brackets that install under the bed of the truck and rails that install in the bed of the truck to accept any of the Reese fifth-wheel hitches, like the Reese 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch - 16,000 lbs, item # RP30047, that you mentioned.

To install a brake controller like our best selling controller the P2 part # 90885 in your 1995 Ford F-250 you will need a couple components. First a controller like # 90885, the correct install harness part # 3035-P and then a 4-way to 7-way adapter part # 37185.
If you check out the picture I attached you will see a couple of wires that are run to a connector in the frame rail of your truck between the back tire and the rear bumper. There are more wires coming from the front of the vehicle... view full answer...
Unless you have used a universal install kit like part # RP30035, the install kit you used for your Chevy will not work on your F250. The Custom Install Kits use bracketry that typically match up with most existing holes in the truck frame.
For the 2010 Ford F250, your best installation option would be the Custom Install Kit, part # RP50082-58 which is custom designed for your truck. The custom kit can reduce installation time by up to 50 percent. view full answer...
We do not have a plug in solution for those connectors under the rear of your truck bed, if you wish to utilize those existing connectors you would need to obtain the trailer connector from your Ford dealer.
This being said, you can cut those connectors off, and hard wire in a 7-way connector pretty easily. I would recommend using the Hopkins Multi-Tow Trailer Connector, part # HM48470. The blue and orange wires attached to the one connector feed the brake controller output and the 12-volt... view full answer...
When installing the Optronics # MCL48AB as a blinker/turn signal you will connect the white wire to the ground wire as you've noted. You will then connect the red wire to the turn signal circuit for that side of the trailer and the black wire will be connected to the running light circuit. This light will be illuminated any time the running lights are on and blink when the turn signals are engaged.
If you check out the attached video review of this light it does a really good job of showing... view full answer...
Wiring a 5-way flat connector on your 1992 Ford Truck should be a fairly simple process. You have two options for wiring a 5-way flat connector which are hard wiring a new wiring harness or adding an adapter.
To hard wire a 5-way connector you will want the 5-Flat Vehicle End Wiring Harness, # HM37908. To install this wiring harness, you will cut off your 4-way connector and splice the wires from the 5-way flat into the wires from the 4-way connector color for color. There will be an additional... view full answer...
The typical 7-Way on a vehicle is wired as described below if looking at the back of the connector where the wires attach:
1:00 = running lights
3:00 = left turn/brake lights
5:00 = ground
7:00 = output from brake controller
9:00 = right turn/brake lights
11:00 = 12 volt power
Center = reverse lights
I have included a link to our wiring FAQ that includes diagrams.
If your 1995 Ford F-250 did not come with a 7-Way, you will need to install # 37185 (if the truck came with a 4-Way). If... view full answer...
The Brophy D-Ring Tie Downs # SR15-C that you referenced is intended for bolt-on installation. Its 5000-lb capacity rating is based on this intended installation method. However, you certainly could cut down their length from 3-1/2 to 2-inches and weld them into place but you will need to be careful to do the welding in a well-ventilated area since zinc-plated material can give off fumes that could be harmful to breathe.
Also be aware that the finish of the welded parts will be discolored... view full answer...
