Amperage of Brake Magnets and Size of Wire Used To Connect 7-Way Trailer Plug To Electric Brakes  

Seal 171255UC has an inner diameter of 1.719 inches and outer diameter of 2.565 inches. A seal that has those dimensions would actually be #58846. I've added a link to a video review of this seal for you to take a look at.

Maximum amperage draw for 4 Brakes that are 10 or 12 inch diameter is 15.0 to 16.3 amps at 12 to 13 volts. The 14 gauge wire may be sufficient but for maximum braking effectiveness at full load capacity. I would opt to run 10 gauge wire. Larger…

I have attached a couple of drawings that show how the wires are routed when installing a brake controller, and how the wires are run from the 7-way connector on your 2008 Toyota Highlander. I have also included a couple of helpful articles that…

In order to hook up the red wire on a brake controller like the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake Controller part #90195 to a 2008 Toyota Highlander you will be using a blue/gray wire. If you use a circuit tester you can confirm this by checking for…

Actually on brake magnets for trailers either wire can be used as the power or the ground so the colors don't really mean anything. Most likely the magnet manufacturer just put what ever color was most convenient on your trailer.

The gauge of wire used in the magnets part #BP01-110 is 16 gauge. The part #DW05744-10 is a kit of 10 connectors that fit that wire gauge.

Brake magnets are made to fit their specific brake assemblies. They are not made to be interchangeable between brake sizes or weight capacities. Some manufacturers do use different color magnet wires that correspond to the capacity. We know that…

First, a 5,200 pound axle is a de-rated 6,000 pound axle so they take many of the same parts. Some 7,000 pound axles also take the same size parts. The difference is the size or ability of the magnets. Sometimes you will see the same type of magnet…

The trailer will have a plate or sticker on it that will list the VIN number. The weight rating of the axle should be listed on that same plate or sticker. Also, the axle could have a tag or plate on it that will list the weight capacity. You can…

I recommend using the 601 Flooring Adhesive in a 1 Gallon #TS76FR or 4 Gallon #TS26FR depending on your application. The 601 does not have the pressure sensitive requirements of the 801, 1 Gallon #TS86FR and 4 Gallon #TS58FR adhesives.

I spoke with my contact at Brophy and they stated you'll be fine using the Brophy Clamp On Camper Tie-Downs - Bed Mount - Black Powder Coated Steel - Qty 4 Item #HSWB as long as the railing on the back of your 2008 Chevy Silverado isn't over…

I attached a diagram that shows how the Atwood switch part #AT91959 wires up. There are three sets of wiring diagrams that you will need to compare to the water heater you have now to determine which is correct.
