Trailer Brake Controller Installation - 1990 Dodge Ram Pickup
Today on this 1990 Dodge Ram Pickup we are going to be installing Prodigy brake controller part number 90185 along with brake controller wiring kit part number ETBC7. We are going to start our installation back here at the rear of the vehicle and we are going to install our 7-pole at the rear first. The first thing we want to do is mount the bracket for the 7-pole. This particular vehicle has a nice large bumper that we can drill into. You just want to find a nice mounting location. Mark the holes and drill those out. I am just going to be using some self tapping screws to accomplish this. You can also drill 1/ 4 inch hole out if you like and use the provided hardware down through the bumper. Next we are going to take the 7-pole adapter from the ETBC7. Mount it on to the bracket and we are going to be doing that using the provided hardware. The next step is to merge up the 4-pole end on our 7 and 4 way adapter to the existing 4-pole that is on the vehicle. If you do not have an existing 4-pole you will need to add that on as well. However, this existing 4-pole unfortunately is not compatible with our 4-pole that we have on our adapter so what I am going to have to do is cut the ends off and wire them in direct. 01:14
Trailer Hitch Installation - 1990 Dodge Ram Pickup
Today on this 1990 Dodge Ram Pickup we are going to be installing Curt hitch part number 14001. The first thing we want to do is lower our spare tire so we have a little more working room. Look over at the driver side frame rail. On this particular vehicle we do have an existing large hole at the end of the frame. We are going to be using that as the rear most attaching point on both the driver and passenger side. We are going to put the hardware in place there where we are actually going to have to drill two forward most holes on both sides of the frame. Into each one of the holes we are going to be using the 1/ 2 inch carriage bolt along with the 1-1/ 2 by 2 inch block. We are going to combine the two and lay them inside the frame with the threads facing down. 00:33
