Jack and/or lug wrench
« on: March 27, 2015, 10:44:43 am »
When I bought my 2350 recently (2012 model), the previous owner indicated that no jack or lug wrench that came with the PC.  I searched the forum but could not find any info as to whether these items would have been provided with the PC when originally purchased. 

Should the 2350 have come with these items, and if so, where would they have been located?  I do have emergency road service through Geico but having the option to change a tire would be a good thing.  I just didn't want to buy a jack if there might be one on the rig that I haven't located.  Any info is appreciated.  Thanks.

Mine came with both and were located in the rear cabinet.  Prolift Jack Bottle - Model B-006D (6ton)

Since I am the third owner, guess one of them decided to keep those items.  Guess I need to buy a jack or depend on emergency roadside service.  Never used the jack on my previous RV so hope to have a similar experience with the PC.

If you have not yet done so, look in the spare tire compartment.  If it fits, it might be in the center tube wrapped with a rag to prevent it from rattling around.

Like others have said, PC supplies a generic 6 ton bottle jack that is not supplied by Ford.  But I do believe the tire iron is a "Ford" item.

I would also carry a 3/4" x 2-3 foot water pipe to extend the tire iron for leverage.

I used our PC issued bottle jack one time when rolling off our Lynx Leveling blocks.  The Lynx wedge flipped up and got jammed between the exhaust tail pipe and the stack of blocks.  Jacking up the rear tire provided the solution.  That happened in Death Valley in that gravel parking lot where you can park overnight to sleep, located in the middle of nowhere.

Ron, that's a good point. Might be worth it to check just to be sure the spare is there.

I know the spare is there (and inflated) but don't think the jack is in the tube but will double check.  So, will pick up a 6-ton bottle jack but will need to to determine lug nut size to make sure I get the right size wrench.  I may have a socket that will fit the lugs but probably not with my luck of late.  Thanks for the info everyone.

When I purchased my 2008 PC 2350 it did come with the Jack and and lug wrench. The factory did provide them.

    Both of my PCs came with a bottle jack and a lug wrench in the rear trunk.

    You need the lug wrench to pry the hub caps off the wheels. Unlike my class A, the PC has hub caps not wheel liners. With wheel liners you remove two of the caps and the nuts under them, then the liner falls off. Hub cap you just have to pry them off. The caps are part of the hub cap.

Thanks Tom.  Don't suppose anyone knows the lug nut size for the E350?  With no lug wrench, I haven't removed the wheel covers yet.  After a bit of searching online, I'm still not sure but I think they are 7/8".   I could buy a tool for multiple nut sizes along with a separate tool to pry the covers but might be able to find a tire tool similar to what was supplied.

You might want to call the factory and ask for Carol. She will know and possibly get you a good price on one or both. I would bet the shipping might be high on the jack. Carol is always very helpful when I needed information or parts.

I'll do that.  I am planning to go to the factory in a couple of weeks anyway to have a generator installed in my PC (it was ordered without one) so I could pick up the jack/lug wrench if they can get them for me.  Thanks.

Yep, that's a good idea, just let Phoenix get you the right tire iron, lug wrench, or whatever you call it.
