Expert Answers about International Trucks


  • Comparing Proportional and Time-Delayed Trailer Brake Controllers
  • In regards to choosing an electric trailer brake controller, you have proportional and time-delayed options. The best option would be a proportional brake controller like the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake Controller part # 90195 because it applies braking force in a variable amount based on the load. This will give the best performance when compared to a time-delayed controller which applies force in a set amount. The proportional controllers are also instant whereas time-delayed are not.

  • Brake Controller for Towing Fifth Wheel Toy Hauler with 2013 International Trans Tar 8600 Air Brakes
  • We have two brake controllers that work well with air brake systems. I recommend the Hayes Air Actuated Trailer Brake Controller - 1 to 4 Axles - Proportional # HA100400C. This system offers both manual override and proportional braking giving your trailer brakes the same intensity as your truck. I've attached a video review to assist. If you feel comfortable working with air systems, then you can absolutely do it yourself. If you are not comfortable with that, I recommend having a...

  • Recommended Brake Controller Wiring For 1975 International Scout II Truck
  • For your 1975 International Scout II, I recommend starting with a 4-way flat trailer connector like # 18252 if you don't already have one.

  • Solution for Hitch Plate for 2015 International Prostar
  • For your 2015 International Prostar I recommend the Buyers Products Weld-On Pintle Hitch Plate # 3371809027A. The plate dimensions are 25-1/2" tall x 34-1/2" wide x 3/4" thick. It is a fabricators hitch plate so you will need to take it to a certified welder or fabricator for installation. This is the best option since there are no custom fit hitch plates for your truck.

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for a 1977 International Scout II
  • Yes, the Curt Hitch part # 13580 that you referenced is a confirmed fit for your 1977 International Trucks Scout II that has a factory step bumper. Bumper bracket modification is needed since it's a step bumper. If you wanted to do some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, hitch pin with clip,...

  • Recommended Air Over Electric Trailer Brake Controller To Replace Obsolete Warner 1300-80
  • I have an option for you, but unfortunately the Warner 1300-80 you have has been discontinued for a while now. The only air to electric brake controller we offer now is the Hayes # HA100400C which will be pretty easy to install. Just cut the 4 wires off of your current controller, and wire them in the exact same way to the new # HA100400C. You'll just need to connect the air line, and install the new mounting bracket as well to finish it up.

  • Mounting Orientation of Tuson Electronic Sway Control System
  • The label side of the Tuson Electronic Sway Control System for Electric Trailer Brakes # 335TSC-1000 needs to face forward and be in a vertical orientation perfectly centered on the trailer 5-10 feet back from the center of the king pin like what you see in the picture I attached. That said, for the type of sway you are experiencing your best solution it so move your axles further back on your trailer.

  • The Reese Super Titan 4000 Trailer Hitch # 38208 referenced in your question is a universal-type hitch that is designed for "C" channel style frames that are approximately 34-34-1/2 inches wide.

  • Replacement 10 Inch Trailer Brake Assemblies Available for Trailer
  • We are going to need to know the wheel bolt pattern on your trailer before we can pick out replacement wheels. The wheel you referenced # LHACK133 has an 8 on 6-1/2 inch bolt pattern. I attached a help article that covers determining bolt patterns as well. What capacity axles do you have on your trailer? Most likely they are 3,500 since that is the very common capacity for 10 inch assemblies. For that you would need the part # AKEBRK-35R-SA for the right hand side and # AKEBRK-35L-SA for...

To power the P3 # 90195 your 2007 Internation Trucks 4100 Dump Truck will need to have a 7-way RV connector installed....

  • Recommended Brake Controller for International TerraStar
  • I don't have any specifics on an International TerraStar but I do know a lot of these types of trucks use a 24 volt electrical system which will not work with most electric trailer brake controllers. However, we do have one that will work with 24 volt electrical systems as well as 12 volt electrical systems in the Redarc Tow-Pro Elite Trailer Brake Controller part # RED44FR. The Redarc Tow-Pro Elite is actually a really great option because in addition to the 24 volt compatibility has both...

  • Availability Of Heavy Duty Trailer Hitch Receiver For 2000 International 4900 Truck

The Super Titan 4000 Weld-On Trailer Hitch with 3" Receiver Opening, 25,000 lbs. # 38124 could work but requires the frame on your truck to be 34 to 34-1/2" wide.

  • Recommended Rear Anti-Sway Bar for 2016 Nexus Motorhome on International Terrastar Chassis
  • The Roadmaster Rear Anti-Sway Bar and Axle Plate Kit if you don't have autochains # RM-1179-112-00 is the correct fit for your chassis and if you do have autochains, then # RM-1179-112 is the correct fit. This anti-sway bar will install behind the rear axle, but is designed to work with the air bag system so it does not interfere. I've attached a photo of the installation instructions that clearly show the air bag as well as the fit.
