Long version of what is going on for a bunch of us is here:https://www.f150gen14.com/forum/threads/trailer-brake-not-working.3039/Short version is that there is an intermittent issue with the TBC not working either at the start of the trip of randoml...
Who doesn't like digesting more scale numbers!? Setting up my new 2021 F-150 HDPP (7850 GVWR, 2536 lbs yellow sticker). TT is a Coleman 262BH, 7600 GVWR, 30' bumper to ball. Hitch is a Reese Dual Cam, 1200 lb barsFirst pass, truck only (mostly ready ...
I rounded off the nuts getting them off my old hitch and need to replace. Do I replace with zinc plated or galvanized? Here is the Reese kit but they don't say what type they are: https://www.reese-hitches.com/products/Bolt_On_Fastener_Kit,58133Thank...
Mostly been posting over on the f150gen14 forums lately, but thought I'd share my good news. My 2021 F-150 HDPP has now been built and in transit, set for an Apr/26 delivery. The fancy new Ford VIN/Payload site confirms my yellow sticker will be 2536...
Because I like numbers, and for those who are unsure of manufacturer's rated dry hitch weights vs the real numbers:Our (new to us) Coleman 262BH has a Dry Hitch weight of 752 lbs. Last night I weighed it with a Sherline scale at 975 lbs all loaded up...
In terms of troubleshooting, my trailer (not that old, 2016) worked flawlessly with my old truck and Prodigy P3. As soon as I switched to the new truck I had problems. I assumed it was trailer/brakes related.Took it to a trailer mechanic (not an RV s...
JIMNLIN wrote: That 2772 lbs first pass is a very heavy number for even the F150HDPP rear axle. Hell my 2500 Dodge/Cummins 2wd quad cab NV5600 short bed rear axle is just 108 lbs heavier. You must carry lots of "stuff" in the bed and back of the tru...
Update, in case anyone else is in the same situation: I ended up just buying the Reese 58133 hardware replacement kit ($46 CDN on Amazon.ca).Normal HW or Auto parts stores around here don't carry grade 8 above 1/2". I found them at a specialty fasten...
Thanks for the advice. It's got the six marks and a triangle on the head. Google tells me that it's a grade 8, close tolerance bolt. Don't think I'm going to find that at a generic hardware store. I'll call around to see suppliers we use at work.
Yep had the axle weights flipped.Re: the LRC tires, I believe they would be fine too. It's really a personal decision (as tires always are). I like the added stiffness of the 10-ply and tire performance...it's not about load rating. I have always fou...
