  • Replacement Front Rail for Extang BlackMax for 2004 Chevy Silverado 6-1/2 ft Bed
  • The correct front rail replacement you need for your Extang Blackmax you have installed on your 2004 Chevy Silverado 6-1/2 foot bed is the part # EX2940-25 since the tonneau part number you have is the # EX2940.

  • Tow Mirror Replacement Recommendation for 2005 Chevy 2500HD
  • For your 2005 Chevy Silverado 2500HD we have the K-Source Tow Mirrors part # KS62075-76G which match almost everything you want. They are telescoping, power adjust, and have turn signals. The only thing is they are heated, which doesn't actually matter if your current ones are. That feature would just not function and wouldn't affect anything else.

  • Adding 4-Way Flat to 2000 Chevy Silverado with Factory 7-Way
  • Since your 2000 Chevy Silverado is equipped with the factory 7-Way connector all you will need to add a 4-Way is the Tekonsha T-One Wiring Harness # 118384. This will plug right in-line with the 7-Way (no splicing, cutting, etc) to provide you with a 4-Way flat that you can use for your new light bar. Because of how it installs it will also retain function of the existing 7-Way. I have attached an installation video that you can use for reference as well.

  • Recommended Performance Tuner for a 2005 Chevrolet Silverado Truck
  • I have a solution for you, but the Edge Evolution Programmer for Ford Triton V8 4.6L and 5.4L, # EP15051, will not work on GM systems. For your 2005 Chevrolet Silverado, the Edge Gas Evolution CS2 Performance Tuner- Color Screen, # EP85350, will be compatible with the 4.8L, 5.3L and 6.0L V8 engines. The Edge EvoHT2 Hand-Held Performance Tuner - GM, # EP84030, will work with all the above engines plus the 8.1L engine option. If you have the 6.6L diesel engine, then the Edge Diesel Evolution...

  • Hitch Extender to Prevent Trailer Jackknifing When Backing
  • If you're backing into tight spots where the trailer is almost jackknifed, the best thing to do would be to remove the spring bars from your weight distribution system before backing. Everything should work fine at that point. The # HR26 extender actually reduces the hitch opening to a 2 inch, which wouldn't work for you.

  • B&W Patriot 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Slider for 2003 Chevrolet Silverado
  • A sliding 5th wheel hitch is used for short bed trucks to provide that needed cab clearance when making tight turns. The hitch will slide back toward the tailgate. The other option is to have a fixed hitch but replace the pin box on the 5th wheel with a rotating turret type, such as the sidewinder, # RP34FR. You already stated you are looking at the B&W hitch and that you want the rock solid opinion. Then the B&W Patriot 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Slider, # BWRVK3270 is my suggestion....

  • Replacement Driver Side Mirror without Auto Dim on 2004 Chevy Silverado
  • You can absolutely replace the driver's side mirror on your 2004 Chevy Silverado with one that does not support the auto-dim feature. It will not require you to cut any wires. The new mirror will simply no longer have this function. I recommend going with the K-Source Replacement Side Mirror # KS62134G, which will maintain the power remote, heated glass, and LED turn signal capabilities as long as your existing mirrors have them.

  • Which Brophy Camper Tie Downs Fit 2011 Chevy Silverado Long Bed
  • I do have a solution for you, but the Brophy Stake Pocket Mounted Camper Tie Downs # TDSF are not designed to fit on 2011 and newer pickups, so they will not work for your 2011 Silverado. The Brophy Clamp On Camper Tie-Downs # HSSF would be the correct camper tie downs for your truck. You'd also need the hardware kit part # TDHP as well and you'd be set.

  • Recommended RV Air Conditioner for Pre-Wired Pioneer Spirit Trailer
  • The Advent Air RV Air Conditioner part # ADV64FR will work great with a ducted trailer and it is a complete package meaning it comes with everything you need to get setup. If the trailer is pre-wired that is going to cut down install time and difficulty dramatically. This kit comes with the overhead unit, distribution box, and wall mounted thermostat. Advent is a very popular aftermarket replacement and they are all backed by a two year warranty. It has one of the highest cooling capacities...

  • Recommended Transmission Cooler for 2004 Chevy 2500HD
  • I recommend the Derale 19-Row Stacked-Plate Transmission Cooler Kit, # D13403. This fits most vehicles with the 5/16" transmission lines, but I recommend adding the Derale Snap-In Radiator Adapter Fitting for GM # D13035. This adapter allows you to easily connect the radiator to the transmission cooler. Please note the linked product review and installation videos below along with installation instructions.

  • Recommendation for Sag at Back of 2004 Chevy Silverado 1500 When Towing
  • The first thing I recommend doing is checking out the max towing and payload weights for your 2004 Chevy Silverado. These can be found in the owner's manual and I do not recommend exceeding them as that can cause premature wear to your suspension as well as elsewhere on your truck (like the engine). For your application I recommend adding suspension enhancement. This won't increase the amount of weight that you can carry but it will help to improve your loaded ride quality and take out...

  • Recommended Air Spring Suspension Enhancement for 2002 Chevy Silverado 1500HD
  • When getting replacement parts for air suspension, it is much more cost effective to get the entire kit with the air bags than to piece brackets and parts together independently for your existing air bags. My recommendation is to get the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs - Rear Axle # AL57250. These air springs are compatible with in-bed hitches and will fit with Quadrasteer as well. Both these kits come with manual inflation valves for adjustment, but you may want to consider...

  • Selecting Weight Distribution Hitch for 4400-lb Travel Trailer Towed by 2012 Chevrolet Silverado
  • We can help you choose a correctly-rated weight distribution/sway control (WD/SC) hitch setup for your Silverado that will be towing a 4400-lb loaded 21-foot travel trailer. The right way to choose a system is to load your trailer for a trip, with all your usual gear and supplies in place, and to measure the actual loaded trailer tongue weight (TW). The etrailer scale # e99044 makes this process easy and easily repeatable. Plus, using the scale regularly means that over time you will learn...

  • Hitch Recommendation for a 2002 Chevy Silverado with a Service Body
  • I spoke to my contacts at Curt and Reese and the only styles of hitches that can be made to fit a service body truck like yours are multi-fit RV hitches like the # 41990 that has a 16k capacity. This is a weld on hitch that would require either the 7 inch drop brackets part # 4907 or the 16 inch brackets part # 4916.

  • Trailer Hitch and Extension Recommendation for 2006 Chevy Silverado 2500HD With Camper
  • For an extension as long as you'd need to have a 2-1/2 inch hitch installed so that you could use the hitch extender part # RP45292 which can be trimmed down to 24 inches. If you were in need of a 2-1/2 inch hitch then you'd need the part # DT45517 which is a confirmed fit for your 2006 Chevy Silverado 2500HD short bed.
