• Correct Mounting Orientation for Tekonsha 90195 P3 Brake Controller on 2008 Nissan Titan
• As long as the controller is oriented so it's flat in the side to side horizontal plane and pointed in the direction of travel, it doesn't matter what angle the # 90195 Tekonsha P3 is installed at, as shown in the diagram I provided. In addition to the brake controller, you'll also need the # 3050-P wiring harness (assuming the vehicle has the factory 7-way trailer connector). If you don't have the trailer connector, you'll also need the # N40975 which includes the necessary relays to...

• Where is the Best Place to Install Engager Trailer Breakaway Kit
• The Engager Trailer BreakAway Kit # 20400 can be mounted to either a trailer's frame or jack. The recommended method is to use the weld on bracket part # HM20107. It does not come with U-bolts but it does have holes in the mounting brackets to allow it to be attached. No mounting hardware is included so you'll need to get that separately.

• Recommended Mounting Bracket for Hopkins Engager Breakaway Kit to Trailer Jack
• If you wanted to mount the Engager Breakaway Kit part # 20099 to your jack on your trailer the recommended method is to use the weld on bracket part # HM20107. This will get welded to the jack or trailer frame and then with the included hardware you would secure the battery box to it. I would only use the trailer jack as an install point if your trailer has a non-swiveling jack that has square tubing.

• How Difficult is it to Install Firestone Ride Rite Air Helper Springs on a 2005 Nissan Titan
• Drilling is not required to install Firestone Ride-Ride spring, # F2355, on your 2005 Nissan Titan. Really the most difficult part is routing and cutting the lines.

I recommend using a tubing cutter, # F9009, because you want the cleanest and straightest cut you can get. Otherwise, installation is straight forward.

• How Do Trailer Lights Ground and Wire Up
• If the second wire is white it most likely is a ground wire and would just need to be run to a clean, metal surface. However, in some situations the light will ground through the mounting bolts of the light assembly. So if the light assembly is a stop/turn and tail assembly and there are only two wires the assembly grounds through the mounting hardware and the two wires are for the stop/turn and tail light circuits. If the light assembly only has a single intensity bulb and there are...

• Brake Controller Port Location on 2006 Nissan Titan
• If your 2006 Nissan Titan has a factory 7-Way, the brake controller port will be located behind the dash, left of the steering wheel column.

• Will Timbren Suspension Enhancement System Increase Payload of 2012 Nissan Titan Pro 4X?
• Adding suspension enhancement like the Timbren # TNRTTN you referenced does substantially help with load support and reducing sag, however it does not increase the payload capacity of your truck. Your 2012 Nissan Titan Pro 4X will have the same 1850 lbs of payload but the system will assist with stability by reducing squat, reducing body roll, and assisting with shock absorption. It will assist far better than adding a leaf spring as that will change the ride of your truck when not...

• Adding the Cantilever to the Thule TracRac
• The bolts on the Thule TracRac TracONE Ladder Rack w/ Cantilever part # TH27000XT-EX can be pretty stiff. Generally there is a small amount of blue Loctite that helps to hold every thing together. This is very likely what you are fighting. Most of the time when removing them I like to use a small 1/4" bit driver or a 1/4" impact this gives more rotational force with the gentle impact to free them up. When using the hand tools it can cause some side force that doesn't help to loosen them.

• How to Find the Brake Switch Wire on Factory Brake Control Harness on a 2011 Nissan Titan
• What you can do is use a circuit tester like # PTW2993 if needed to test the wires on the factory harness. The brake controller red wire is for input from the brake signal on the truck. When you test the wires, you will need the one that shows a signal on the tester only when you step on the brake pedal. If the wire shows a signal at any other time, like when the headlamps are on or turn signals are on it is not the correct wire. For the remaining wires on the brake controller, the white...
