My 2015 Ford F-250 6.7 came with upfitter switches and I currently am not using them for anything. I was wondering - what are some possible/interesting uses you all have found for these. I'm always "tinkering" around and am trying to think of some good uses for these switches.
Thanks for the comment rjr6150/Randy. I will admit I do miss the stability of the DRW but the difference in the SRW is not huge (and I added airbags for leveling). Plus, my wife uses this truck for a daily driver and despised having to park the DRW in the lower 40 at Walmart :)
Had to trade in my 2008 Ford F-350 DRW because the 6.4 horror stories scared me to death - and it had already drained my pocket book due to one very expensive "cab off" repair and another costly repair. The dealer made me a deal on this 2015 6.7 that I could not resist. This thing pulls like a...
Understand. I guess I lucked up and had mine pretty close the first time I installed. I only had to do minor adjustments. All 4 points of mine are now adjusted so that when they are in the locked position, the arms are snug due to the locking T under the bed fitting tight.
Hmmm...that's weird. Must be a difference in the systems. Mine out of the box is less than 30 minutes to have locked in the truck and then all there is left to do is pin my slider hitch to it...just a couple of minutes.
I hope I can explain this so that it makes sense - my square adapter has of course 4 T bolts that goes into the puck system. Each have a threaded collar that I had to assemble into the frame with a large nut that holds the collar. Then the T bolt slides through the collar which then threads...
I just bought a 2015 F-250 with the puck system and had to buy the adapter for my existing Reece 5th wheel. What I did notice is that, it is imperative that the adjustments are made when the levers are at 90 degrees to the holes in the bed. That way, when you make the adjustment and re-install...
danemayer - everything you said makes perfect sense. Fortunately, I understand when you mentioned the "two 50 amp legs" topic because I learned this after wiring in 50 amp service at my house for my camper. I will investigate what I have when I get home this evening. The converter advice camp...
I have a 2011 Heartland Elkridge 35QSQB 38ft (50 amp service) that only has one AC installed on it (I can’t imagine why). When camping in the summer in direct sun light, this thing gets pretty warm. I want to have another AC installed but am hoping someone can help me with a couple of...
Update – cleaned all 4 wheel assemblies and I now have a much better condition. ALSO, in my 2015 Ford F-250 6.7 I found a Trailer Brake Output setting…Low, Medium and High. It was on low. I switched it to High and now even better results.
I pulled all four wheels last night. All 4 magnets and the surface area on the hub where the magnet drags had a slight film. However, the brake pads were in good shape, no grease on pads, springs and workings were in good shape. Makes me think some of you were correct...maybe someone along...
I did have the drums off. This did not appear to be fresh grease; it appeared to have been there for a while. My next steps tonight will be to pull the wheels back off and clean thoroughly with brake cleaner hoping they are salvageable (I have a camping trip planned close by this weekend)...
I did not clean them as I was not sure if this was normal. I did this work yesterday and the more I thought about it the more I convinced myself that this could not be normal. I suppose now I will remove the wheels again tonight and do a thorough cleaning and inspection of the seals.
In my...
Follow up - So I was successful in adjusting the brakes on all 4 wheels. However, while inspecting the brake pads and assemblies, I noticed a greasy film on the electromagnet that operates the trailer brakes. There was also a light film on the inner part of the drum. It seems to me that the...
Thanks all for the good advise. I watched a youtube video on replacement. They also replaced the whole assembly instead of trying to change out individual parts. Looked like a very simple repair.
My guess is, that because they worked better when I bought it last year, it will turn out to be a brake adjustment. I didn't know the part about not having self-adjusters on 2011 models. I will try adjusting the brakes this weekend.
Re: Refer will not work on gas - not igniting
So I came back in to check the Forum after cleaning on the camper. Read the part about the orange wire, went out and turned everything on to operate on gas, jiggled the harness that had the orange wire in it and poof, click click sound and gas...
I had another guy tell me to check the brake adjustment. I guess I thought they were self-adjusting. I will take your advise and check the adjustment. Thanks
Re: Refer will not work on gas - not igniting
My refrigerator is not in a slide. However, my problem is not a gas problem. It seems to be an electrical problem or something not telling my ignitor to kick on to light the gas. I used to be able to hear it click while lighting. Now it will not...
I have a 2011 Heartland Elkridge 35QSQB 38’ bunkhouse. When I first bought the camper (about 8 months ago) I would run my brake controller on about 8.5. Now I am running it on 10 and can barely feel it holding back when I squeeze the brake controller. And when sitting still, I can compress...
I have a 2011 Heartland Elkridge 35QSQB 39’ bunkhouse. When camping over the weekend, I noticed that my refrigerator will no longer switch over to gas. I have it set on Auto (and even tried it set on gas). The problem seems to be that the ignitor is not kicking on. I used to hear a clicking...
I have a 2011 Heartland Elkridge 35QSQB 39’ bunkhouse. I noticed that after my camper had sat over the winter, that the interior panel of my entrance door had cracked in 2 places. The cracks were toward the bottom of the window running from the window to the outer sides of the door. We camped...
I will check into that. I had one guy guess that it could be part of an Arctic package that would activate heat strips or something to prevent holding tanks from freezing. I have no idea is this could be correct.
Hello all. I am new to the forum so please forgive me if I have this question in the wrong category. My wife and I just bought a used Heartland Elkridge 35QSQB 38 foot bunkhouse. I just about have everything figured out but am stumped on one feature. Inside the wooden cabinet main control...
