So, it finally happened, the vulnerable trailer connections on my truck have took a brutal beating from gravel roads. Most notably the 4 prong plug attached to the side of the round plug hole. It is actually hanging by the wires. And the wiring to the round plug looks like a dog has chewed on it. So before I go and replace it, I want to know if anybody has rigged up a plate or some kind of protection for the back side of the connections? Pictures would be best, I don't want some ugly peice of metal hanging there if I don't have too. I have put a total of 15,000 kms on the truck since I have had it, and those trailer connecters looked almost new when I got it. Any pictures/insight/ideas are welcome! Thanks.

 

Been their It,s a pain those gravel road just eat every thing. I live in mb.I found that you put a 6 wire round plug socket on and use a adapter and under the the truck use Heater hose and split it a side it over the wires and tie wrap the hose. Best of luck with those wires.

Thanks for the reply. Thats a good idea with the heater hose. My other thought was heat shrink tubing. I think the hose idea is tougher though. Thanks again.

 

Your welcome.
If you have alot of area that is bare remove that section and replace ,soder and srink tube will help stop crosion even use a little of that wiring antie crosion grease.
