I ordered a trailer brakes controller and a couple of metric nuts, they were delivered on time and in good condition, now it’s time to install.




by:

This is such an amazing nut! The threads were spot on, the chrome finish really completed the look of the engine bay. This is a very good nut, I definitely recommend it.

This kit and the accompanying video were a great fit to get a brake controller on my Jeep. Everything worked as planned. The video even told me I would need a little extra wire and a nut, that I went ahead and got even though I didn't actually end up needing it. Thanks etrailer for the excellent products and service.




by:

etrailer made it easy to buy and install a brake controller in my pickup. Everything necessary for installation arrived quickly in one box, was compatible with factory wiring and worked...the first time. Way to go etrailer!




by:

Works great and "as advertised". Only problem was I chose the "free shipping" option as a promotion when I purchased it and it took 10 days to get to me. I found that unacceptable. It shouldn't take that long to ship a product weighing in at 1.5 lbs. and the size of a fist from the midwest to Cali. I needed it in 7 days so had to go out and find the exact same one at a local store (for $50 more), then return the etrailer one to the store for a refund when it finally came. I would have saved money and time by just paying the few bucks to get 3-5 day shipping. Nowhere on the free shipping promotion did it say how long it would take.




by:

I am very happy with the controller and was very easy to install. Once I figured out where to mount it the rest was a breeze. Glad I ordered the 2 hex flange nuts.




by:

I have found the product to be just as advertised. I was very pleased with the support I got from eTrailed in chosing the product. The customer care person was very helpful. The video on your web site were very helpful during the installation.The order was delievered on time and as promised. Overall an excellent experience. I will be glad to recommend etrailer to my friends.

Thanks.




by:

Worked as advertised in the video install of the wiring harness.




by:

I had a hard time finding a flange but that would fit the post of my truck for my break controller. This fit perfectly.

Product great, but that was expected. The service and timeliness of the transaction and shipping was second to none. Very Impressed with etrailer.com

  • Could Lock Nut be Used on Underhood Connections of GM Brake Controller Wiring
    Sounds like you have a GM truck that has underhood connections that need to be made for the brake controller circuit to be functional and you are wondering if a lock nut could be used instead of a standard nut and the answer is yes. The Nylock of the lock nut would not interfere with the connection at all.

  • Is Additional Hardware Needed for Thule Universal Mounting Kit # 7533998
    For Thule Universal Mounting Kit # 7533998 the nuts for the screws are fixed in the clamping parts so there is no additional hardware for them. The ends that attach to the ski rack attach to the rack with nuts that should already be on the rack. They should be M6 nuts to match the screws. We have M6 nut # 185916.

  • What Size Nuts Are Needed to Connect Wires Under Hood for Brake Controller Installation on GMC Yukon

  • Which Nuts Needed to Complete Brake Controller Connections At Fuse Box on 2007 GMC Sierra New Body
    There are two threaded studs on the front of the power distribution box (closest to the front bumper) that will need to have the 12-V feed to the trailer connector and the power feed to the brake controller connected if they aren't already. As you've likely found, GM decided to save the $ 0.25 it would have cost them to supply the nuts needed to secure the wires to the studs. Both studs are different sizes, you'll need a M6-1.0 nut which we carry as part # 185916 and an M8-1.25 nut which...
