2001 Ford Questions and Answers

• Programmer or Tuner Recommendation for a 2001 Ford F-350 7.3L Diesel 4x4
  
• If your 2001 Ford F-350 used a Superchip tuner previously, you may notice a slight drop in power and fuel economy when not using a tuner or programmer. It is not that your engine is failing, it is just that tuners and programmers are designed to improve your engines performance. If you are satisfied with the power and MPG of your truck as it is, a tuner or programmer is not absolutely necessary, but they will improve your engines performance. Our 2004 Dodge Ram 2500 has the 5.9L Cummins and d

• How to Power Interior Lights on a Trailer Without Being Connected to a Tow Vehicle
  
• I do have a solution for your situation, however, I do not recommend running two power sources to the same circuit on your trailer, this could cause a short. Instead, you will want to run the #4 wire from the 7-pin trailer connector to the positive post of the trailer battery. Next, connect the wire from the battery in the fuse box to the same location that the power wire from the trailer connector was connected to for the interior lights. This will put a 15-amp fuse between the battery and the

• 2001 Ford F-350 Transmission Cooler Recommendation
  
• My recommendation would be to supplement your current transmission cooling system with an aftermarket transmission cooler. For your 2001 Ford F-350 I would suggest the Derale Transmission Cooler part # D13504. This part will require an adapter fitting part # D13025 for installation. Transmission coolers are not vehicle specific, however to optimize efficiency you would want to use the largest transmission cooler available, and mount in the optimal place on your vehicle. The most efficient m

• 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Installation Kit Recommendation for a Valley Hitch and 2001 Ford F-250
  
• For your trailer hitch I recommend the custom fit 5th wheel trailer hitch installation kit # RP50082-58. The custom installation kit takes less time to install and requires less drilling when compared to universal or semi-custom kits. This kit will accept Curt, Draw-Tite, Hidden Hitch, Reese, Valley and Husky 5th wheel trailer hitches that fit in above the bed rails. I have linked the instructions and a video showing a typical installation for you. The Valley kit you referenced is actuall

• Will the OEM Trailer Hitch from a 1993 Mercury Grand Marquis Fit a 2001 Ford Crown Victoria
  
• I checked up on trailer hitch 88002 and found that it was an OEM hitch put on several vehicles. However, the 2001 Ford Crown Victoria is not one of the vehicles listed as a fit so I do not recommend trying to install it on the Ford. For a hitch that will fit the Crown Vic the most popular Class III hitch is # 13707. I have included a link to a video showing a typical installation and a link to the installation instructions for you. I also recommend the etrailer ball mount kit # EBMK4EL. It

• Troubleshooting Red Dot Not Appearing on a Pilot # 80550 with Manual Override Slid
  
• It sounds like the controller could be working correctly. I would recommend you connect to a trailer and try again to see if the problem persists. The manual override typically will need to see a load on the circuit before it will actually put any voltage on the output circuit. So try connecting to a trailer and let me know what happens by emailing me back.

• Reese Strait-Line Weight Distribution part # RP66074 Work With 2001 Ford F-150 Towing 23ft Trailer
  
• You definitely want to go with the Reese Strait-Line part # RP66074 that has a 1200 pound tongue weight for your travel trailer since your tongue weight will be over 800 lbs. When towing, if your weight distribution system is not rated high enough, there will be too much force on your spring bar and the weight will not be distributed evenly which can create sway and an un-level ride. The purpose of the weight distribution system is to distribute the weight on the rear axle to the front and t

• Can Blue Ox Base Plates BX2605 Fit an Acclaim Tow Bar without an Adapter on a 2001 Ford Escape
  
• The Blue Ox base plates for the 2001 Ford Escape # BX2605 are not compatible with the Acclaim tow bar unless you use adapter # BX88133. You could use the Aventa # BX7445, Aladdin # BX4325, Alpha # BX7365, or Allure # BX7460P, without an adapter. You will also need safety cables like # RM-643 if you do not already have some. For lighting I recommend a simple solution like the E-Z mount kit # EZT20B to fit at the top of the rear hatch on your Escape. Most states now require supplemental brak

• Will Pro Series 5th Wheel Hitch and Installation Kit PS30132 Fit a 2001 Ford F-350 Dually
  
• The # PS30132 Pro Series fifth-wheel hitch and installation kit includes a universal rail kit that will work on your 2001 Ford F-350, but from my research it does look like Ford offered a short bed dually model in the 2001 year. If your truck has a short bed, you would need to go with a fifth-wheel hitch that has a slider instead. The slider prevents the trailer from hitting the back of the cab while maneuvering into tight spots. A comparable hitch with a slider would be the Pro Series 20k

• Will the SuperSprings Super Sway-Stops Work on Vehicles without Air Bags
  
• As long as you have factory overload springs on your 2001 Ford F-250 then you can install the SuperSprings SuperSway-Stops Anti-Sway System # SSS-1 on your vehicle whether you have air bags or not. I checked with my contact at SuperSprings to confirm this. Since this is an overload spring you will not feel the effects of this suspension enhancement until there is a load on your vehicle. I attached an installation video for this product for you to check out also.

• Where is the OEM Brake Controller Port on a 2001 Ford F350 SD
  
• To access the OEM plug, look near the diagnostic port on the underside of the dash. You should see an open-ended, gray plug hanging down near the diagnostic port. If this plug cannot be found near the diagnostic port, remove the trim panel from below the steering column and look for a gray plug on the right side, near the center console and radio area. With the lower trim panel removed, look for the gray plug beside the sheet metal that runs along the driver's side of the radio area. If it is

• Towing Mirror Recommendation for a 2001 Ford F-150 With Turn Signals on the Mirror Housing
  
• We do have some towing mirror options for your 2001 Ford F-150, however, there are no custom towing mirror options for models that have the turn signal on the mirror housing. Instead, I recommend looking at the K Source Clip-On Towing Mirror, # KS3891. This mirror will wrap around your OEM mirror and tighten to the mirror housing. We also offer the Door Mount Mirror, # 11650. This mirror is large and may not be the best looking option, but after testing many of our universal fit towing m

• Troubleshooting Running Light Circuit on Trailer Pulled by 2001 Ford Expedition
  
• If you have tested and are getting voltage at the trailer connector when the brake lights and turn signals are activated, you most likely have a blown fuse. Check the fuse box under the hood. The box should have a legend on the underside of the lid that identifies the circuits, or you can check your owners manual for the proper fuse location. Keep in mind that on some Ford trucks and SUVs, the fuses for the tow package are located in a separate fuse block mounted on the firewall in the engine

• What is the Hose Diameter on a Ford 4R100 Transmission on a 2001 Ford E-450 Van
  
• Your 2001 Ford E-450 van should be equipped with a 4R100 transmission that was used on the E-series vans with the 7.3 liter engine. This transmission did use the 3/8 inch diameter hose so using kit # D13022 is the one that you would use. The kit comes with 3/8 line and NPT hose barb but it also comes with an Insta-dapt radiator adapter for 5/16 inch lines that you would not use.

• What are the Wire Functions for Trailer Wiring Harness C56175 for a 2001 Ford Escape
  
• You will need to use a circuit tester like # 3808 if needed to test the tail light wires to determine the functions. You cannot go by color alone because vehicle manufacturers can change wire color so there is no standard. Once you have determined the functions of the wires on the vehicle you will attach the yellow wire to the left turn signal wire, green to right turn signal wire, red to brake light wire, and brown to running lights. The white wire needs to be grounded to a bare metal surfac

• Is Firestone Coil-Rite Installation Hard to Do on a 2001 Ford E-450 Chassis Motor Home
  
• I would not say that installation of the Coil-Rite springs # F4101 is all that difficult. You will need to temporarily remove the lower shock bolts to allow the axle to hang freely, and you have to release the top of the coil spring to get the bag in place. I have included a link to the installation instructions for you to view. Routing the air lines might be the most time-consuming part of the installation. Be sure that when you cut the lines you use a air hose cutter like # AL10530 to get t

• Brake Controller Wiring Adapter Recommendation on a 2001 Ford F-150 XLT
  
• Your 2001 Ford F-150 will use the same brake controller wiring adapter whether your truck came with a factory 7-way or a factory 4-way. The 7-way and 4-way is referring to the style of trailer connector that your truck came with (see photo). If your truck came with the factory 7-way trailer connector at the rear of your vehicle, then, to add a brake controller, all you will need is a brake controller and the wiring adapter. I recommend looking at the Tekonsha Prodigy P2 Brake Controller, # 90

• Parts Needed to Add a 7-Way and Trailer Brake Controller to a 2001 Ford Expedition
  
• On a 2001 Ford Expedition that did not come with a factory 7-Way, you will actually need to use adapter # 37185 to add a 7-Way. To connect the 4-Wires on the 37185 you will need to first ground the white wire to the truck frame. Then you will want to follow the factory wiring forward on the vehicle to where it plugs into another connector. On the connector on the forward side, there are more wires going in then coming out. If you pull back the covering on the wires you will find some additio

• Diameter of Tubing on MagnaFlow Pro Stainless Steel Turbo-Back Exhaust System MF17979
  
• I checked with MagnaFlow to confirm the pipe diameter. The # MF17979 turbo-back exhaust kit features 4 inch diameter tubing only, from the turbo to the tail pipe. This kit is custom fit for your 2001 Ford Super Duty truck as long as it is either a CrewCab or SuperCab model with a long bed and the V8 7.3L diesel engine. View the installation instructions for this kit at the included link.

• Adding a 7-Way Trailer Connector and Brake Controller to a 2001 Ford Escape with Factory Tow Package
  
• You will need to add a 4 to 7-Way adapter on your 2001 Ford Escape since the trailer has a 7-Way. And since the trailer does have a 7-Way it most likely has electric brakes. In order to get all the lights and the trailer brakes to work you will need to use the 4 and 7-Way installation kit # ETBC7. This kit comes with everything you will need to add a 7-Way and the wiring to hardwire in a brake controller. For a brake controller I recommend the Tekonsha P2, # 90885. It is reliable, easy to set

• Where Does the White Wire Attach on 5th Wheel/Gooseneck Trailer Wiring on a 2001 Ford F-250/350

• Trailer Taillights Do Not Work When Connected to 2001 Ford Van 6-Way Connector

Please take a look at the photo provided; this is labelled to show to which pin the ground wire should attach. Since you have two white ground wires, it sounds like a second ground jumper wire has been added to provide a better ground connection. A ground jumper wire should connect on one end to the same spot on the frame as the main ground wire and the other end to another cle

• Electric Drum Trailer Brakes for a 2004 Pace Trailer with Tandem 3500 Pound Axles
  
• One way that you might be able to determine if you have self-adjusting or regular brakes. On self-adjusting brakes like # 23-468 as an example there is a cable that attaches one shoe to the other. You can see it in the picture on the product page. A manual adjust brake like # TRBK10E01 that you have referenced does not have this cable. If you want regular manually adjust 10 x 2-1/4 brakes you can use # TRBK10E01 for the left side and # TRBK10E02. For self-adjusting 10 x 2-1/4 brakes you

• Weight Distribution System Recommendation for a 2004 Keystone Springer GVW 9680 lbs
  
• The important factor to consider when choosing a weight distribution system is the fully loaded and ready to tow tongue weight of the trailer. You must also consider the weight of any cargo that will be loaded in the bed of your truck behind the rear axle. This will also contribute to the total tongue weight of the weight distribution system. You will want to choose a weight distribution system that can support the fully loaded and ready to tow tongue weight of your set up. The Fastway e2 Wei

• Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2001 Ford Escape Behind a Motor Home with a Falcon 2 Tow Bar
  
• Since you have the Falcon 2 tow bar I recommend the Roadmaster XL style base plates # 481-3 for your 2001 Ford Escape. For a replacement base bar use # RM-067. If you are missing the base bar then you may also be missing the quick disconnects # RM-201. Or you can get them all together using # 910021-00. In addition to the base plates and tow bar you will also need safety cables like # RM-643. For a lighting solution there are a couple of options. If you will not be towing the vehicle very
