How to Find the Brake Switch Wire to Install a Brake Controller in a 2013 Ford Edge
Traditionally (at least from 2004 to 2007) Ford has used a green wire on the brake switch to attach to the red wire on a brake controller. However, the only way to know for sure is to test the wires using a circuit tester like # 3808. Manufacturers can use any wire they want and if they run out of the normal color they use, they grab whatever is available to keep the assembly line moving. To test the wire use the circuit tester to probe the wires. You need the one that only shows power when

Anti-Rattle Device Recommendation for a Swagman Titan 3 to Reduce Side to Side Movement
To eliminate all play between your Swagman Titan 3 Bike Rack # S63405 you would want a Swagman Locking Anti-Rattle Threaded Hitch Pin # S64029.

Trailer Brake Controller Recommendation for a 2012 Lincoln Navigator
I spoke with my contact at Tekonsha about the 2012 Lincoln Navigator with a factory 7-Way wiring harness. He stated that it takes the # 3035-P wiring harness for a brake controller. You will first need it and then the brake controller itself. I recommend the P2, # 90885. It is one of our best selling brake controllers of all time because it is easy to set up, easy to use, and it is reliable. You can disconnect the controller and store it when not in use. If you do this I do recommend following t

Clearance Between Roof and Crossbar with Thule AeroBlade Bars on a 2005 Nissan Maxima
I went out to our studios and found a Rapid Traverse foot from a # TH480R kit and measured from the base to the bottom of where the bar would be. It was just under 3-1/4 inches. Because roofs are generally sloped and fit is different on every vehicle, use this measurement as a guide only to estimate where the bottom of the bar will approximately be. In addition to the foot pack you will also need the crossbars, # THARB53, and fit kit # THKIT1538.

What is the Torque Rating for an Equalizer Bolt
Equalizer bolts, like the TruRyde Wet Equalizer Bolt, # TRFA71063, should be torqued to yield. Equalizer bolts are not given a specific torque rating because they should allow some movement of the equalizer. If they are torqued down too tight, the equalizer will have difficulty moving and that could bind up your trailers suspension. Simply tighten the bolts down until they are tight, but still allow the equalizer to move. Keep in mind, the cotter pin is not included with this bolt. The co

Tongue Weight Capacity of RoadMaster High-Low Drop Adapter # RM-070

5th Wheel Trailer Hitch and Installation Kit for a 2012 Ford F-150 Crew Cab w/5-1/2 Foot Bed
If the rear gross axle weight rating is 3,850 pounds, you need to stay below that. Allowing a little cushion room would be ideal. If it were me I would look at no more than 3,500 pounds. You actually cannot use a sliding 5th wheel hitch. On a 5-1/2 foot bed you HAVE to use a stationary hitch and a Sidewinder to get the extra clearance needed to make tight turns. First you will need an installation kit. You can use # RP30080. I have linked the instructions and a video showing a typical in

Can an Equal-i-zer Shank be Used with a Reese Weight Distribution System
You should be able to use the Equal-i-zer shank # EQ90-02-4600 with your Reese system. Both use 3/4 inch bolts to secure the head to the shank and the holes on both are spaced 1-1/4 inches apart on center. This shank is rated for 600 to 1,400 pounds tongue weight. If your system is rated under 1,400 pounds then it will work.

Upgrading Spring Bars on a Fastway E2 Weight Distribution System for a Heavier Trailer
First, weight distribution and suspension enhancement can actually work against each other. The best thing for leveling the truck and trailer is weight distribution so I would stick with it. Since the tongue weight will be around 750 pounds, and could possibly be higher depending on if you are carrying anything behind the rear axle of the truck or not, I recommend the 1,000 pound spring bars, # FA94-02-1099, that you have referenced. They are sold in quantities of 1 so you would need to order

Does Master Cylinder have to Be Removed to Replace the Boot on an Atwood Brake Actuator
You most likely will have to remove the whole master cylinder in order to replace boot # 84258 on your Atwood coupler because the push rod goes through it. If the coupler is bolted on then it would be easiest to pull it off the trailer to work on it. If it is welded on, according to our installers the easiest thing to do and to avoid a headache is to just replace it with a new one.

Pulsating Brake Performance with a Draw-Tite Activator II Brake Controller
There could be many possibilities that are causing the pulsating of your brakes on your 2013 Ford F150. A few possibilities to start with would be to use a circuit tester like the Quickee Tester, part # 3808, and check the connection of your stoplight wire from the brake controller to your stoplight switch. This wire needs to be connected to the cold side of the stoplight switch, which will only show power when the brake pedal is applied. You will also want to check all the connections of the

Using a Sterling Tow Bar to Flat Tow 2 Different Vehicles
You will need to have the crossbar for support when using your Sterling tow bar so it cannot be taken out of the equation. However, you can get a second crossbar, # 910021-00, that you have referenced and leave it on the other vehicle when not flat towing it. Then you would just un-pin the arms of the crossbar from the vehicle and pin them to the other vehicle to flat tow it. Since you also have 2 Sterling tow bars you should not need any additional parts unless you are missing the crossbar a

Firestone Air Command Does Not Release Air Pressure or Increase Air Pressure

Looking at the diagram Figure C in the instructions linked for reference there should be a location labeled DEL and that line goes to the air springs. The other labeled SUP goes to the compressor.

Best Option for Towing a 5th Wheel Trailer with a 2010 Ford F-150 with 5-1/2 ft Bed
The best option for towing a fifth wheel trailer with your 2010 Ford F-150 with the 5-1/2 ft bed is using a sidewinder pin box and a fixed fifth wheel hitch. This is the only option that will allow you to safely execute a 90 degree turn. Sidewinder pin boxes are designed to fit specific OEM pin boxes, so if you can tell me the manufacturer and model number of your pin box (Lippert 1621, Fabex PB-600, Leland 7921, etc.), then I can recommend a specific sidewinder that will work for you.

Where to find VIN Number on a Used Utility Trailer
Usually commercial trailer manufacturers will indicate the unique vehicle identification number (VIN) on the same plaque that carries their brand name, model number information and the trailer specifications.

Right Side Hydraulic Trailer Brake Locks Up After Braking
You may be getting air in the lines or have a wheel cylinder that needs to be replaced. It is also possible that you have the wrong side brake assembly on that right side but since it is only an issue after braking this is probably not the case.

I recommend pulling the wheel and drum off to inspect the operation of the brakes, check for any foreign objects that might be causing the malfunction. If the wheel cylinder
