Expert Answers about Truck Tool Box


  • Are Firestone Air Compressors Waterproof
  • The Firestone air compressors such as # F9377 can handle typical moisture like what might splash up from the road when driving in the rain. But it is not designed to be submerged under water. For something to be waterproof it has to be able to be submerged under water for a certain amount of time and not let any water in. It will be perfectly fine under your truck so long as you aren't planning on driving into any deep bodies of water! That is why Firestone makes a mount bracket, # F2530,...

  • What Gauge Steel Are the B&W Truck Cab Protectors/Headache Racks Made From
  • I spoke with my contact and B&W and the Custom Headache Rack # BWPUCP7500WA is made of 10 gauge steel except for the flat plates that attach to the bed sides. Those are 7 gauge. This rack is not tested with toolboxes or tonneau covers so it is difficult to determine if it will work in conjunction with those items. It likely will not work if the tonneau cover blocks the lip in the inner part of the bed sides.

  • Will the Water Penetrate the DeeZee Custom-Fit Truck Bed Mat?
  • I have a great solution for you. I called my contact at DeeZee, and they confirmed that the DeeZee Custom-Fit Truck Bed Mat # DZ86973 is completely waterproof.

They carry the Non-Slip Mat - Multi-Purpose - Washable - 84" x 16" # PT67ZR that has spaces between the fibers that water can pass through. It is fully washable and mold/mildew resistant. Also,...

  • The Stromberg Carlson 4000 Series # VGD-10-4000 weighs roughly 32-lbs. It should be noted that this tailgate isn't necessarily going to increase what the truck's payload much, if at all, but they're instead designed to reduce the damage that might otherwise occur when towing a 5th wheel trailer with a pin box that hangs close to the tailgate. These tailgates also reduce drag that ultimately will help improve gas mileage.

  • My LED Trailer Light Hitch # CR-007G Only Lights Up When Using A Converter
  • If you got something like this Adapter 7 Pole to 4 Pole with Tester # 47345 you will be able to convert your 7 pole to the 4 pole you need to power your light # CR-007G, you can also test to see if everything is working. If everything is, I think you may have an issue with your wiring with your factory 4 pole. You may also want to check your fuse box for a blown fuse. Also try to check your factory wire connection under your truck bed.

  • Is There a Stainless Steel Gooseneck Hitch On the Market
  • Most of the gooseneck hitches we have available, like the B&W # BWGNRK1104 or the Draw-Tite # 9465-37 are constructed of steel, but not stainless steel because it's strength relative to higher grades of steel. To my knowledge there is not a hitch that is made with 100% stainless steel components on the market, but most of the hitches do have some stainless steel components like the hitch ball or the safety chain loops. When it comes to the best available gooseneck hitch on the market,...

  • Will the Convert-A-Ball Gooseneck Coupler Adapter # CAB-C5G Handle Long Trips
  • You should have no problem using the Convert-A-Ball Gooseneck Coupler Adapter, # CAB-C5G, on a 1,200 mile trip as long as the gross weight of your trailer remains under 20,000 lbs and the pin weight is under 4,000 lbs. We had one customer comment that he has been using his adapter for over 20,000 miles and it is still working great. The only note I would add to this adapter is that there will be a noticeable difference in the ride quality if you are used to towing with a fifth wheel hitch....
