Yakima Roof Rack Fairing Review - 2013 Dodge Ram- Video

Today on our 2013 Dodge Ram pickup truck 1500 series we are going to be test fitting the Yakima 44 inch Fairing for Yakima Roof Racks; part #Y07048. To mount our fairing to the vehicle we will slip the four hooks over the front crossbar. We do want to make sure that we position the fairing evenly from left to right and between our towers. Once we have it positioned properly we will come back and use the carriage bolt and wing-nut on each of the outside clips to secure our fairing to our roof rack. With that done our fairing is secured and we are ready to hit the road with a much quieter roof rack. Thats it for our test fit of the Yakima 44 inch Fairing for Yakima Roof Racks; part #Y07048 on our 2013 Dodge Ram 1500 pickup truck.. more

The first thing we need to do is set our mounting bracket for our controller. Pick a suitable location that won't be in the way of the driver's knees, but will allow easy access to the manual override switch on the bottom of the controller. Once you've found a location for the bracket, make sure that there are no electrical components behind it before you secure it with the included screws.With our controller in place, we'll move on to the brake control harness. The next thing we need to do is find the electrical connections up underneath the dash of our Ram pickup. The first connection we need to make is the large square connector on the harness. more
