Blue Ox Tru Center

[mike_brez]

Has anyone repaired their Tru Center?
Solenoid is shot and don’t see a replacement for it.

I gave up on my Tru-Center years ago when it fell apart and Blu-Ox would not repair it. It was great when it worked but did not hold up to the rigors of the road. Threw it in the trash.

Oops did a Curt 2 inch hitch also.

Ok Called Blue Ox they have no parts and they do not support the Tru Center.
Called Decco lady was asking if I just called about the solenoid. Someone else just called looking for the same. They make them to order said she would put a rush on it maybe two weeks. I ordered two looks like the weak link.
I personally will never buy anything Blue Ox after this pos Tru Center.
Just picked up a new 2020 Ford Escape Hybrid that I need a base plate,trailer hitch and wire harness and down the line some sort of auxiliary brake and new tow bar.
One thing for sure none of it will be from them.

Well they discontinued it, so I can see why they would have no parts. its a good system. I wouldn't give up on them.

Well base plate and wire harness installed. All Roadmaster parts.
Most likely up grade my 18 year old brake buddy and Demco Aluminator tow bar with something Blue Ox doesn’t make. Lol

IDK may be I was expecting a little to much. Looks like I have a $1200 boat anchor. I have a Demco Aluminiator tow bar that has been discontinued for years and can still get parts.

Looks like you have to wait a month to have it shipped.

I saw that one then it had a different part number on it in the picture and the end is not the same. I guess they may have just put up a generic picture of one.
Will be calling them also.

Yes I think that will be my first call. This is what is in it.

I think he said he got it from Blue OX but if you can find info printed on the solenoid, you may be able to buy it from an electronic supply house.

Thank you. I read that yesterday but I can’t seem to find that solenoid anywhere on line.
I’m going to make some calls tomorrow.
