  • Does Kat's Magnetic Engine Oil Heater Have A Thermostat
  • The Kat's Heaters Handi-Heat Magnum Magnetic Engine Oil Heater, part # KH1190, does not have a thermostat included. It has a heat output between 300 and 400 degrees F and the heating area is approximately 20 square inches. This does plug into a 110 outlet and is a 300 watt heater. Many customers will install the heater and leave it on overnight, while others will plug it in for a couple of hours before starting the vehicle to warm the oil.

  • Do MORryde Equalizers Help Handling in Crosswinds
  • The MORryde Rubber Equalizers for Tandem Axle Trailers - 33" Wheelbase # MR87ZR will improve how your trailer rides, but won't do anything for crosswinds. The best thing you can get to help your trailer in crosswinds are SumoSprings for your trailer. They won't completely eliminate the body roll you get but they do help cushion the load and absorb its roll. The right one will depend on if your leaf springs are over or under the axle. - Leaf Springs Under Axle: SumoSprings Trailer Helper...

  • Do Air Bags Have Remote Controls
  • Air bags like the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate Air Helper Springs # AL88295 that fit your 2013 Ram 3500 do not come with remote controls, and in fact wouldn't have any controls, they would be manually inflated. The only controls would be from a compressor such as the Air Lift WirelessAIR Compressor System for Air Helper Springs - Wireless Remote Control # AL74000 or Air Lift WirelessONE Compressor System for Air Helper Springs - Hand-Held Remote # AL25980 and if this was something...

  • The # RR-ROCK-17-SS Race Ramps Display Rock is intended to display your Jeep, Hummer, 4x4 pickup, Chevy Chevette or Reliant Robin (if you're into imports).

  • I have good news for you because a Reese Goose Box will not void the warranty of your Grand Design Momentum trailer.

  • I spoke with UWS and all their black boxes, like the Truck Bed Toolbox - Crossover Style - Low Profile Series - 8.6 cu ft - Gloss Black # UWS00373, will come with the black badge to match the color of the box. Their silver boxes can come with either blue or black badges, but again, black will always be black.

  • Can You Replace ST215/75R17.5 Trailer Tires on Front Axle Only on Tandem Axle Trailer
  • Yes you can; if you want to change the 215/75R17.5 tires on just the front axle of your tandem axle trailer you can without issue. The absolute ideal would be to change all four at the same time for perfect, even wear across the tires, but it isn't necessary so long as the tires on the rear axle are in good shape. In fact, if you are going to change tires on one of the axles, you would want it on the front axle, as that is the one that bears the most most. And we do have a really good...

  • Running Wiring For Bully Light Bar At Back Of 40-Ft Fifth Wheel Trailer
  • There are a couple of ways you can run the wires for the Bully Light Bar, part # BLS-1103. The easiest way would be to attach the light bar wiring to the wiring you have at the rear of your fifth wheel trailer. That is if you can access the wiring easy enough either by getting to the wires under your trailer or by removing the lights and getting to the wiring behind them. Another way would be to install a junction box like part # 38656 on your fifth wheel and attach the trailer wiring...

  • Will Cargo Carrier for RV Bumper be Able to Fold up With Ladder on RV
  • With a ladder on the back of your RV it is unlikely you will still be able to fold up the 24 x 84 etrailer Cargo Carrier for RV Bumpers # e96ZR. Reason why is when the carrier folds up it takes up all the space of the bumper, so unless your bumper protrudes out past where the ladder is you won't be able to. If you want that folding feature, and your ladder is off to the side, a carrier with less width will be able to fold up as you can mount it on the side of the ladder. Granted they may...

  • Safety Practices For PSI And Temperature For Trailer Tires And Wheels
  • As you haul your tires will start to generate heat and the temperature and psi will rise. The rating you're referring to is for when the tire is cold/not in use and is not the actual capacity of the tire. The max cold pressure is set low enough to accommodate a standard amount of heat generated from use and would be the best rating based on the manufacturer's testing so there's nothing to worry about. A typical trailer tire will run at about 158 degrees Fahrenheit, with 195 degrees being...

  • Ball Mount For 2-1/2 Inch Hitch That Has 1-7/8 Inch Hitch Ball
  • The Flash E Series HD Ball Mount # FA42-00-2925 does not have a 1-7/8" hitch ball available. I know you said you weren't wanting to buy another hitch but the only way to get the 1-7/8" ball is with a new ball mount. The only option for that for a similar set up is from B&W: - B&W Tow & Stow 3-Ball Mount - 2-1/2" Hitch - 9" Drop, 9-1/2" Rise # BW54FR - B&W Tow & Stow 3-Ball Mount - 2-1/2" Hitch - 7" Drop/7.5" Rise # BWTS20049B - B&W Tow & Stow 3-Ball Mount - 2-1/2" Hitch - 4-1/2" Drop/Rise...
