    Thinking about converting surge brakes to electric - Tri-Axle Trailer

    He is putting in an EOH system....hence the title of the thread. If he doesn't, an E4 Equalizer will work with surge brakes.

    Thinking about converting surge brakes to electric - Tri-Axle Trailer

    It's a no brainer for you to go EOH.

    Thinking about converting surge brakes to electric - Tri-Axle Trailer

    You could use a battery on the trailer if it was possible to charge the battery sufficiently through the 7 pin over time. In fact, on my travel trailer, I solely use the travel trailer batteries but I have 560AH of battery capacity so no need to worry about running down the battery. Personally...

    Check those wheel bearings . . .

    Do yourself a huge favor and pull the hubs and manually inspect the bearings and hand pack each hub. Do not rely on the LAZ-Lube system.

    Thinking about converting surge brakes to electric - Tri-Axle Trailer

    I have put two EOH systems on two different trailers. Not hard to do. I suggest going with a conversion to all disc brakes while you are at it if you don't already have disc brakes. What is your tow vehicle? For my 2018 F150, I had to run a much larger gauge wire from the battery to the back...

    Direct Injection

    The F150 3.5 Ecoboost started out with just plain direct injection. In 2017, they added additional port injectors to help drivability and to keep the intake valves clean. Toyota has been doing this for years. This video shows that is does indeed help I will be pulling the intake eventually...

    How can I troubleshoot the wrong trailer light

    Probably a bad ground somewhere. A sneak path ground path was causing the weird issue.

    Volvo Penta GM 5.7 TBI low power at take-off

    Since you don't have marks, get an advance timign light. You adjust the knob on the timing light until the marks for 0 line up and the dial on the timing light tells yo what the advance is. Conversely, if you want 8°F, you set the dial on the timing light to 8°F and rotate the distributor until...

    Hey y'all, are Escort Trailers made/owned by Calkins?

    I am pretty sure Escort trailers were made by Caulkins. No longer in business. http://www.carnai.com/ABUS.html

    lost trim function after testing coil

    There is a trim limiter module in these....I believe. Not sure when they started using these or even if they still do but you may be able to remove the darn thing and just plug in the trim wire plugs together after removing the module. Seems dumb to have these as often as these trim senders go...

    VP 280 no reverse

    That looks wrong. Should be closer to horizontal. Remove the cotter pin and put the cube to the side. Make sure the shifter at the helm is in neutral, the bar that shifts the cone clutches into neutral and then adjust the cube on the cable to fit into the hole perfectly and then attach the...
