1988 Ford Questions and Answers

• Installing Curt Discovery Brake Controller # C51120 on 1988 Ford F150
  
• To hardwire the # C51120 Curt Brake Controller, you can either cut off the existing plug on its wiring harness or use the universal pigtail, part # C51515. The universal pigtail would provide an easy way to quickly disconnect the brake controller, should it become necessary. You would then use our Brake Controller Installation Kit, part # ETBC7. If you do not already have a functional 4-pole trailer connector you would also need to install one using part # 118316. The install kit includes eve

• Mounting Hole Spacing on Erickson Horseshoe Rope Cleats, Part # EM09090
  
• The Erickson Horseshoe Rope Cleats (2-Pack), part # EM09090, have three mounting holes in each and include Phillips-head mounting screws. I pulled a sample from our warehouse to take precise measurements of the mounting holes. Please refer to the attached photo. The two mounting holes on the bottom of the horseshoe are spaced 1-7/8 inches apart, measured center of hole to center of hole. The distance between either of these bottom holes and the middle/top hole is 2-3/16 inches. My conta

• Will the Derale Radiator Race Fan # D17420 Replace the Factory Fan in a 1988 Ford F-250
  
• The Derale 20 Inch Race Fan, # D17420, has a 19-7/8 inch diameter so it will fit within your 22 inch shroud. One thing to keep in mind with this fan is that it is a race fan which means it will require you to remove your fan clutch as well. It is designed to pull more air as your engines RPMs increase and not to be regulated by a clutch. Removing the factory clutch will effect the length of the spacer that you need. Once you have the clutch removed, you will want to measure from the water pu

• Parts Needed to Install Brake Controller on 1988 Ford Ranger With a 4-Way Connector
  
• To install a brake controller on your 1988 Ford Ranger with a 4-Way connector you will need a brake controller and a hardwire wiring kit. For a brake controller I would recommend the Tekonsha Prodigy P2 Brake Controller, part # 90885. This is our most popular brake controller. It is very easy to setup and use. It is a proportional controller which means it will apply power to the trailers brakes in proportion to the braking in your tow vehicle. I am including a link to the instructions on t

This kit includes the above bed rails and hardware and the below bed hardware and brackets for installation on the F-350.

• Recommendation of Electric Fan for 1988 Ford Ranger With 2.9L Engine
  
• When choosing an electric fan for your vehicle you will want to make sure to get a fan that will give you the correct Cubic Feet per Minute (CFM) for the size of your engine. The CFM is how much air is being moved through your radiator in one minute. The typical CFM requirement for a 6 cylinder engine is 1,600 to 2,000. If your 1995 Ford Ranger is used for towing you will want additional airflow. It is always recommended to go with the highest rated fan. I am including a link to a FAQ page on

• Which Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Fits a Full Size 1988 Ford Bronco
  
• The Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch, # 41990, is a weld together application for service body trucks. For your 1988 Ford Bronco, the correct Draw-Tite Hitch is # 40050. Please note it will not fit models with a roll pan bumper. I have included a link to the installation instructions for you.

Both boxes feature sturdy aluminum construction, gas cylinders to help lift and hold it open, and stainless steel latches. There are many toolbox options for your truck. I have included a link to the toolbox main page for you. Just select your bed size and style to see the various options.

• Installation of 4-Pole Wiring Harness on 1998 Ford F-150
  
• On the 1988 Ford F-150 the brake and turn signal lights are already converted, so a converter is not required. For your F-150 vehicle, instead of the Hopkins Vehicle Wiring Converter, part # HM48915 I would recommend the T-1 connector part # 118316. I will provide you a link below to the installation instructions for the T-1 connector as well as an installation video. The T-1 plugs inline into the connector that is usually located on the left side frame rail. The existing wiring harness conn

• Installing a 7-Way Connector and Brake Controller On a 1988 Ford Bronco II for Towing
  
• To tow a trailer with trailer brakes you will need a 6-Way or 7-Way connector depending on which style of connector is on the trailer you will be purchasing. I would recommend going with the 7-Way connector, which can be used with an adapter, item # 47549, if the trailer has a 6-Way connector installed on it. You will need a 4-Pole Hardwire Kit Including Circuit Tester, item # 18252, and a Brake Controller 7 & 4 Way Installation Kit, item # ETBC7, for this installation. Even though your Bronc
