Expert Answers about Chevrolet Express Van


  • What Diameter Shaft Does Yates Wobble Roller 343R Use
  • The Yates Ribbed Wobble Roller part # YR343R-6P that you have actually uses a 3/4 inch shaft or if you had the part # YR343R-5P the shaft diameter would be 5/8 inch. I'd maybe try measuring the diameter again and going with the wobble roller that matches what you are in need of.

  • Spare Tire Carrier With Receiver Class C Motorhome on 2018 Chevy Express Van Cutaway Chassis
  • Although none of the bumper mounted spare tire carriers we offer are rated for tires large enough for a Class C motorhome, the Roadmaster option you'd looked at, part # RM-195225 could handle the weight and size of a spare tire meant for a Class C motorhome. Also, the carrier features a 2 inch receiver which would allow you to easily carry your bike rack behind the carrier. The carrier is compatible with all wheel bolt patterns. This would be the only carrier we offer that would be compatible...

  • Brake Controller and 7-Way Trailer Connector Recommendation/Installation on 2006 Chevy Express Van
  • An adapter like the # 37185 would provide both a 4-pole and a 7-way trailer connector, and would be perfect for your needs. The adapter would plug into your existing 4-pole, and would have 4 additional bare wire to contend with. The white wire is grounded to the vehicle frame or chassis, the purple wire carries the reverse lamp circuit (which isn't usually necessary, so it's usually just bundled up out of the way) and the other two wires are for 12-volt accessory power (black wire) and...

  • Best Towing Mirrors for a 2016 Chevrolet Express Van
  • I highly recommend going with the Longview mirrors for your 2016 Chevrolet Express Van: - Longview Custom Towing Mirrors # LVT-1700 These are custom-fit so you don't have to deal with the strap installation we find on the universals. This means you get more of a solid connection as well as an easier installation process. I've attached a photo as well as an installation video of when we put these on a 2016 Chevy Express for you to check out.

  • 7-Way and Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2019 Chevy Express Van
  • Since you have the factory tow package wiring all you'd need for a 7-way is the part # HM40975 which attaches to the round connector you have at the rear of your vehicle and provides both a 7-way and a 4-way plus comes with a mounting bracket. Then for a hitch the etrailer hitch # e98861 is also a fit for your 2019 Chevy Express van. It's a really great option as it has higher towing capacities, installs very easily, and is priced great too. I attached an install video for this for you...

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2007 Chevy Express Van 2500
  • For your 2500 series Chevy Express van the correct base plate kit is the part # 3140-1 as long as your van isn't a diesel. This is a Roadmaster base plate kit that can be towed with a properly rated tow bar like the Roadmaster Blackhawk 2 part # RM-422 that has a 10k capacity. For safety cables you can use # RM-643. The coiled design helps keep the cables off of the ground. For lighting you would want the part # RM-154 that taps into the taillight wiring of your vehicle. And finally,...

  • Tow Mirrors For 1999 Chevrolet Express Van 1500
  • You can use the K-Source Universal Towing Mirror - Clip On - Convex Mirror - Qty 1 # KS3891. It is a single unit so you will need to order two if you want one for both sides of the tow vehicle.

  • Recommended Roof Rack Option for Carrying Surfboards with 2011 Chevy Express
  • Although the Thule system you referenced would work well, in my opinion the clamp system used by the Rhino Rack Roof Rack is a bit more substantial, and would get a better grip on the rain rain gutter. You can install a Rhino Rack Roof Rack by using the following parts: Heavy Duty Crossbars, part # RB1650B-2 for Black or # RB1650 for Silver Gutter Mount Legs, part # RRRL150GMC Rhino Rack also offers a padded board carrier, part # RRRWP03.

  • Wiring Harness Recommendation for 2003 Chevrolet Express Cargo Van
  • Yes, the Plug-N-Tow Vehicle Wiring Harness, # 31345, can be installed on your 2003 Chevrolet Express Cargo Van. The powered converter on this wiring harness gets the signals from the vehicle wiring system but draws the power to illuminate the lights on the trailer directly from the vehicle battery. I have included a link to our installation video that you may want to check out. Another option would be the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness, # 118392. This wiring harness simply plugs into your...

  • Transmission Pan Cooler Selection for a 2008 Chevy Express Van V6
  • From the research I did the V6 models of the 2008 Chevy Express Van actually used the 4L60E transmission which would call for the # D14204 pan cooler. The 2500/3500 Express vans used the 4L80E and would require the # D14207.

  • Parts Needed to Add 7-Way Trailer Connector to 2014 Chevy Express Van
  • You would first need to start with a 4-way if you do not have one already. For that you would need the part # 118392. Now if your trailer does not have brakes all you would need is the part # 37185 as an adapter to convert the 4-way to a 7-way. If you do have trailer brakes you would need the # ETBC7 instead of the # 37185 and a brake controller. This kit comes with everything needed to wire up the 7-way and install a brake controller. For a brake controller I would recommend the Prodigy...

  • Availability Of Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver For 2017 Chevrolet Express Van RV
  • I may have another option for you, but the Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver # C31016 you were looking at is only confirmed to fit the select 2000-2004 RVs built on the Chevrolet Express Van Chassis and will not fit your 2017 Chevrolet Express Van RV. At this time there is not a custom fit hitch confirmed to fit. Instead you may be able to have a local fabrication shop and a universal hitch like the Draw-Tite Ultra Frame Service Body Trailer Hitch Receiver - Weld On - Class V - 2"...

  • How To Combat Sway When Driving 2019 Chevy 3500 Express Van
  • To prevent the sway you are feeling in your 2019 Chevrolet 3500 Express Van I recommend adding the Roadmaster Rear Anti-Sway Bar # RM-1109-173 as it will really tighten up the feel of your van while on the road. The SumoSprings do help some with sway and body roll, but are more designed to support your suspension. On the other hand anti-sway bars like the # RM-1109-173 are only designed to fight sway, and make a night and day difference. There is not a plate available to bolt to your...

  • Recommended Suspension Enhancement and Weight Distribution Hitch for 2011 Chevy Express 2500
  • Since your van is based on the 2011 Chevy Express 2500 Cargo Van the RoadActive Suspension Custom Leaf Spring Enhancement Kit # RAS2611-V would be the correct part and a great option for additional support. This converts your factory leaf springs into a mechanically active system. It will eliminate axle wrap, wheel hop, and bottoming out. The RAS system also helps to reduce sway and will improve your ride level with your family loaded up and while towing. The springs adjust based on the...

  • Recommended Transmission Cooler For a 2018 Chevrolet Express E4500 Chassis Freelander RV
  • I recommend the Derale Series 8000 Plate-Fin Transmission Cooler # D13504 for your 2018 Chevrolet Express E4500 chassis on your Freelander RV. This cooler has a larger surface area to better cool the transmission fluid than the Derale # D13503. With the large profile and additional weight on your chassis this will cause the transmission fluid to heat up more than on a van alone.

  • Recommended Brake Controller for 2019 Chevy Express Van
  • For the brake controller itself I highly recommend the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 # 90195 because it offers the best display on the market for making easy adjustments, reading full diagnostic messages (instead of just codes), and operating the manual override. This proportional controller's reliability is also well known in the industry and it has received almost unanimous praise from our customers (4.9/5 stars out of over 3,000 reviews). This will be the last brake controller you purchase. I...

  • Front Mount Hitch and Enclosed Cargo Carrier Recommendation for a 2000 Chevy Express Van
  • First let's start with a front hitch for your 2000 Chevy Express Van. For that I would recommend the Curt Hitch part # C31016 as it is the most popular hitch we offer confirmed to fit your vehicle at the best price. Since you said an enclosed cargo carrier I am assuming you are referring to an enclosed carrier like the part # H00604. The issues you could run into with a cargo carrier like this is that you may block air flow to the radiator of your vehicle as well as your headlights. Most...

  • Helper Springs for a 2007 Chevy Express Van 1500 AWD with Glass Pane Rack on Side
  • The first thing you will want to do is make sure the suspension is in good working order. Helper springs cannot be added if the suspension is worn out or something is broken. Given the options for the rear of your 2007 Chevy Express van I recommend the Timbren springs. Timbren is headquartered up north so they know a thing or two about products that work well in colder climates and they have become a leader in the industry for helper springs. For the rear you can use # TGMRG25C. And for...

  • Where Is Trailer Connector Located On 2016 Chevrolet Express Van 3500 W/ Factory Tow Package
  • Since your 2016 Chevrolet Express Van 3500 has the factory tow package, it should have a factory installed 7-way trailer connector. If there is not one, look underneath the bumper/spare tire area of the van for a connector that resembles the harness shown in the included picture of the # 41157. If you have this connector then you can install a 4-way/7-way connector combination # HM40975 that you were looking at without any issues. Now if you cannot find the connector then your van may...

  • Recommended Wiring And Brake Controller For 2017 Chevrolet Express Van
  • Tow package can have several different meanings. It depends how your Express was set up. It can mean transmission, oil coolers, or suspension. Some vehicles have trailer wiring at the rear and some have factory trailer hitches as well. I recommend checking the owner's manual to find out what functions are performed when the trailer button is used. If you have the tow package you should have a trailer connector at the rear of your van. If you do not have a trailer connector on your...
