if you asking me what size tire I had on my van before... I honestly dont know... I have looked
for the pics of the wheels and tires ... I will find them and let you know... but in the mean time
here are some pics of my van with those wheels on it... before I put the new ones on.....
What I have on the van right now are the biggest you can install without " lifting " lmao ( stan )
inside joke.. the van up.... I went from a 16 in wheel to a 17 inch wheel... with a much bigger
tire...

I’m planning on just swapping stock 245/75/16 over to mags. I’ve just completed the mags this morning. They will go on late next week (I’m on the road a work and I’d like to use a guy at home that I trust will help get them balanced with minimal weights on outside lip). Tomorrow morning starts the trailer brake controller/ flat 4 t-connector/7 pin install. Pics to come of that aswell. Unfortunately I can’t use the 4 wires under the dash beings they are “dead” (just part of the harness from factory for several models) so I’ll be jockeying some wires to and from the front and rear

I could very well be wrong, but I think the harness at the dash ends up above the spare tire, and my guess is that is for a brake controller. All of this is a guess. I had to go to the rear light fixtures to wire my flat four.
Ron, every time I see your van, I SEE RED!!!. I wonder why?

The only harness I have at the rear is for parking sensors (not sure why itd be wires for those instead). The fuse slot in the engine bay is missing fuse and socket for the fuse.

Those wires under the dash might be dead.... but there is a reason....
there is a wire out by the fuse box under the hood....if it is like mine...
then the wire is there.. just not hooked up yet...
all I am saying.. if you have the wire under the dash and it runs out
to the back of the van for the harness... then all you need to do it connect
that wire to the fuse box.... to have power...

had another thought...
there is a pocket on the drivers side rear
were the wires might be stuffed into...
look at this pic.. and you tell me if you
have wires running like this.... if you do
then you have the harness already just follow
the wires... if not and you dont have the wires on the
side of the frame.. then you dont have the harness
pre installed on your van.
P.S. all ya have to do is look were the rear driver
side tire is to see this Wire....

I’ll look in that pocket. The said wires in your picture are identical to mine but it is a (6 wire) cluster ran to the bumper and are said to be parking sensors. They are an asst of 14gauge wires that don’t exactly follow the color scheme you’d expect for a trailering harness. I wanted to test the brake light signal in the harness under the dash to see if there’s any current to that wire. I feel like that will tell the tale. First things first though I’ll check out the box near the spare since I have to drop the the 4 pin harness through there anyway.
