Trailer Brake Controller Installation - 2005 Ford F-150- Video
Today on our 2005 Ford F150, we'll be installing the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake Controller. Part number 90195 with wiring harness, part number 3035-P. First we'll point out the connection to the factory wiring harness. Now that we've located our plug, there's normally a grey plastic cap that covers it - in this instance there's not. We'll take our new wiring harness from our new brake controller, plug it into the factory connector. With the wiring in place, we'll mount out bracket, in this case we're mounting it about halfway up the kick panel under the steering wheel. To mount it we use the two self-tapping screws that came included with out kit. Now that our bracket's in place we'll take the mounting clip for our brake controller and we'll screw that in using the included machine screws that came with the kit. Now that the brackets mounted, take our wiring harness, plug it the back of the brake controller and set our brake controller up in place. more

Gooseneck Trailer Hitch Installation - 2005 Ford F-150- Video
Today on our 2005 Ford F150, we're going to be installing the Reese gooseneck fold-down trailer hitch, part number 8339-4437. To start, we've already gone ahead and lowered and remove the spare tire and rear wheels. Wellbeing also removed the exhaust muffler and tail pipe to gain easier access up underneath the truck bed. Now our first step is going to be flattening the head channel just forward of the rear axle. There are two areas where the sheet metal is doubled up and will need to be flattened in order for us to put our frame rails in place. Quick tech tip: If you have an air hammer available, it can be very useful in smashing the sheet metal to allow for the frame rail to sit in its proper location. more
