- While there is a wiring harness for a brake controller on your 2008 Chevy Silverado, there is not a plug-in harness, it'll have to be hardwired. The wires are already run though, and I have added a link below to a help article which explains how.
The correct wiring harness depends on the brake controller you want, and I recommend going with Curt, for which you'll need the Wiring Adapter for Curt Trailer Brake Controllers # C51515.
This will allow you to install the Curt TriFlex NEXT Trailer...

- The Firestone Air Command I part # F2158 is an air compressor system that is is designed to be used with a set of airbags like the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs part # F2250. Although the airbag kit will be vehicle specific, the air compressor kit will not. The only requirement of the air compressor kit is space and since you have plenty on your 2008 Chevrolet Silverado there should be no problems finding a place to mount it. If you need an idea where to mount or run the lines...

view full answer... - Should One Or Two Sets Of Tire Chains Be Used On 2003 Chevrolet Silverado 4 X 4
- When using tire chains on a 4-wheel drive vehicle like your 2003 Chevrolet Silverado, you can use a set on both the front and the rear wheels. If you use one set of chains only they are often placed on the rear tires but can be used on the front wheels for added steering and braking.
I have attached a helpful article about tire chains you can check out.
Tire chains like the Pewag Snox Pro Self-Tensioning Snow Tire Chains part # PWSXV600, are designed to fit 15 to 20 inch tires. These...

Please refer to the linked photo of the head assembly showing the two points for installing sway control. This hitch allows use of one or two sway control units.

view full answer... - Will Reese 5th Wheel Installation Kit # RP30035 Work with an RBW Xtender 5th Wheel Hitch
- Yes, the Reese universal fifth-wheel rail installation kit # RP30035 would be compatible with an RBW Xtender hitch.
To run wiring into the bed of your truck, I would recommend fifth-wheel wiring harness # PK11893-11932, as this would be custom fit to your 2002 Chevy 2500 and offers an easy installation.
You can view the installation instructions for the rail kit at the link below.

- Yes, the Curt Gooseneck Plate, # 16055, will attach to your Reese above-bed rails and give you a gooseneck connection. The plate is rated for 25,000 gross towing weight, but the capacity will be determined by your installation kit and the above-bed rails.
The hitch ball on the gooseneck plate is offset from the center of the plate. If you install the plate on your rails with the hitch ball towards the rear of your truck the measurement from the center of the hole in your rear rail to...

- The Classic Accessories Cover for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # CA80116 is an excellent choice for protecting your Reese # RP30928 M5 5th wheel hitch when you're not out-n-about in your 5th wheel. The cover's 24 x 24 x18-inch dimensions mean a good fit on just about any hitch. It will cover the entire hitch, not just the head assembly.
The cover features heavy-duty UV-resistant waterproof vinyl construction with elastic cords to hold it in place.
view full answer... - Recommended Hitch for a 2001 Silverado 2500HD w/ a 12,000 lbs Capacity
- Not confusing at all. I took a look online and the 2001 Silverado 2500HD has a 12,000 lbs bumper pull towing capacity and a 15,200 lbs 5th wheel towing capacity. It's just two different capabilities of the truck. The extra weight of a 5th wheel trailer can be better supported when mounted more towards the center of your truck's frame.
With the 12,000 lbs capacity in mind, I recommend the B&W Heavy-Duty Trailer Hitch Receiver item # BWHDRH25182. This is the only hitch available for...
view full answer... - Can a Dual Path Compressor System be Used with Air Bags and Air Safe Hitch in 2008 Chevy Silverado
- You could use a dual path compressor system to control the air pressure in air bags on your 2008 Chevy Silverado 3500HD and the Air Safe hitch provided the psi range for the air bags is within the capabilities of the compressor system (0 to 100 psi for most systems).
For a basic compressor system with analog gauges you can use # AL25651. This is a wired system. If you are looking for a wireless system you can use # AL74000. This system will automatically maintain the pressure in the air...
view full answer... - Can Electric, Heated, Turn Signal Towing Mirrors be Added to Trucks that Do Not have those Features
- You can replace factory mirrors with mirrors that have heat and electric operation including turn signals but those features will only work on the new mirrors if the original mirrors had those functions to start with. If your factory mirrors do not have these features then those features will still not work on the new mirrors.
We have several custom fit towing mirror options that will fit your 2010 Chevy Silverado. I have included a link to them for you.
view full answer... - Can A Demco Autoslide 5th Wheel Hitch Be Used On A Flatbed Truck
- Since the Demco Autoslide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # DM8550034 requires base rails it typically wouldn't work with a flatbed truck, so we usually recommend going with a B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch for Flatbed Trucks # BWGNRK1500 and a hitch like # BWRVK3050.
Another aspect to look at is the increased bed height that typically comes along with a flatbed truck, which is why the # BWRVK3050 is so short. If you used a regular fifth wheel hitch your trailer would most...

- With your 2009 Chevrolet Silverado lowered 3" in the back Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs - Double Convoluted - Rear Axle Item # F2430 are not going to work. I contacted Firestone to be sure and they do not offer any airbag system for lowered vehicles.
There is an option to add TorkLift StableLoad Suspension Upgrade w Quick-Disconnect - Lower Overload Springs - Stainless Steel Item # TLA7310S. This kit attaches to your lower overload spring and each plate can be turned under the...
view full answer... - Will the Bulldog Winch Quick-Connect Set BDW20172 fit 1/0 Gauge Wire
- Yes, the Bulldog Winch Quick-Connect Set # BDW20172 that you referenced comes with terminals that can attach to 1/0 gauge wire like what you have.
For a ring terminal with a 3/8 inch hole that fits 2/0 gauge wire (which is .04 inch thicker than 1/0) you would want the part # SWC57048Z.
view full answer... - Will a CIPA Hot Spot Mirror Fit an Original Chevy Silverado
- The CIPA Hot Spot Mirror will fit original mirror housings on many GM and Chevy models and other vehicles since it is a universal fit application. It attaches with double-sided tape to the existing mirror housing and with its expanded areas of visibility, it does a good job of eliminating blind spots when towing a travel trailer.

- The Integrated OEM Tailgate Lock - 1999-2007 GM Full Size Pickups, item # LH003, will fit your 2006 Chevrolet Silverado. This is the only lock that we have available at this time for the 2006 Silverado.
view full answer... - Best 5th Wheel Base Rail and Installation Kit for 2004 Chevy Silverado 2500 With 8 Foot Bed
- The installation kit I highly recommend for your 2004 Chevy Silverado 2500 with an 8 foot bed is the Reese Quick-Install Custom Installation Kit w/ Base Rails # RP50064-58 because it does not require any drilling into your frame rails to install. This is not only great for your truck but also means the installation is going to be simpler and take much less time than a universal kit. Using this kit will benefit you whether you are doing the install yourself (saving hours) or having a professional...
view full answer... - Will Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch 41932 Fit a 2003 Chevy Silverado 1500 with a Full Sized Spare Tire
- Yes, the design of the Draw-Tite hitch # 41932 is cut to fit around the factory spare tire, so it would be a good fit for your 2003 Silverado 1500.
If you have switched out the factory spare, you may run into issues, however, if the spare you currently have installed is far larger than the factory-issued tire. I would recommend checking the spare tire location against the hitch mounting area, if this is the case.
As a reference point, the hitch mounting holes that are closest to the...
view full answer... - Will Reese Custom Install Kit Work with Current Rails and Holes on 2004 Chevrolet Silverado
- Reese only made a 4-bolt and a 10-bolt base rail. Since you mention that you have 4 bolts each rail, you more than likely have a 10-bolt base rail. I have attached a picture to show the difference in the two base rails.
If you currently have the Reese 10-Bolt Above Bed Base Rails, # RP58058, on your 2004 Chevrolet Silverado with 8 ft box, the holes will not match up exactly when installing the Reese Quick-Install Custom Base Rails and Installation Kit, # RP50064-58. Keep in mind that this...
