Expert Answers about Chevrolet Silverado 1500

• Recommended Axle Replacement for Non-Traditional Width Trailer Axle
• Due to the odd axle size on your trailer, you would need to have a custom axle made in order to utilize a through axle. I do have a solution for you that will take care of the axle length issue and will also take care of the suspension issues to ensure you have a proper functioning trailer. I recommend the Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension System w Hubs - Straight Spindle - 5 on 4-1/2 # A35RS545. This system will give you the spindles and bolt right to your trailer frame for that...

• What Tire Chains Can I Get that Have Both V-Bars and Cams for my 2020 Chevy Silverado 1500?
• If you are looking for tire chains with both V-bars and cams, I recommend the Titan Chain Snow Tire Chains w/ Cams # TC2828CAM. The Titan # TC2811CAM are confirmed to fit your 2020 Chevy Silverado 1500 with a tire size of 275/60-20. In addition, the ladder-style chains come with v-bars for superior traction and built-in cam tighteners that make it easy to achieve a tight, secure fit on your tires.

• Gen-Y Torsion 2-Ball Mount VS Curt Rebellion XD For Towing 4,000LB Boat Trailer
• Since you have such a light boat trailer I recommend the Curt Rebellion XD # C83WR. This will work better with the lighter amount of tongue weight that you have of 400lbs. The hitch will also be much easier to use for you as it weighs only 43lbs compared to the Gen-Y Torsion 2-Ball Mount w/ Stacked Receivers # 325-GH-1024 which is more than double that at 71lbs. The Gen-Y will still work but for optimal performance out of their hitch they want to see 500lbs of tongue weight. The Curt...

• Carrying Canoe Level on 2016 Chevy Silverado with Leer 180 Camper Shell with Rear Incline
• It would actually be better to have the canoe either all on the camper shell or all on the cab of the truck. When a load is split between the 2 it could result in problems because the truck bed can move some independently from the cab. The artificial rain gutters can be installed anywhere that you are willing to drill into. I do not recommend it on a 2016 Chevy Silverado because who wants to drill holes in the cab of a new truck! What you could do is use one Darby Turbo-Rack # DTA968...

• Recommended Weight Distribution System for 6000 lb GVWR Travel Trailer
• Actually, the Fastway e2 # FA92-00-1000 weight distribution system you'd looked at would be perfect for the travel trailer you described. It's compatible with trailers with tongue weights from 600-1000 lbs. Since your dry tongue weight is 500 lbs, that'll increase when you add the weight of gear in the travel trailer, water tanks, and propane tanks. You'll also want to add the weight of anything stowed in the truck bed behind the rear axle as tongue weight. Once all that's added up, you...

• How Much Power Does Edge Programmer Give 2017 Chevy Silverado with 4.3 Liter V6
• The Edge EvoHT2 programmer part # EP26040 that you referenced will give you up to an additional 20 horsepower and 24 ft lbs of torque. It also will help give you a couple extra miles per gallon as well so I'd say it's worth it. To maximize the power gains a cold air intake would be great but we don't have one for your truck's engine size. An air filter like the part # AR851-135 though will help allow the engine to breathe a little easier and would increase power. I attached a link to a...

• Front and Rear Tie Down Anchor Fit Recommendation for a 2016 Chevy Silverado 1500
• You are correct. The rear stake pockets of your 2016 Chevy Silverado 1500 will require the part # P99914 and then the front will use the universal kit part # P99901. In 2014 Chevy/GMC made the rear stake pockets differently so universal tie downs won't fit.

• Recommendation on a Trailer Hitch for a 2016 Chevrolet Silverado Pickup
• For your 2016 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, I have few hitches for you to review that will fit your vehicle. I recommend the Curt Class IV Hitch, # C14006. The Curt hitch is a custom-fit hitch that will mount to the frame of you truck without any additional drilling to the truck's frame. The hitch has the 2 inch receiver opening which will allow you to choose from a larger variety of hitch accessories, like bike racks or cargo carriers.

• Tonneau Cover and Ladder Rack Recommendation for 2015 Chevy Silverado Short Bed
• In order to have a tonneau cover and ladder rack that work together, you'll need a tonneau cover that mounts to the inside of the bed sides, which leaves the top of the bed side free. A roll up aluminum and vinyl cover like the Truxedo Sentry, part # TX1571801 for the 5-1/2 foot bed or # TX1572001 for the 6-1/2 foot bed would work great. This durable cover is a super-easy to use no-drill installation, you can see a product demonstration video by using the provided link. For a ladder rack,...

• Will the RAS Suspension Work On a 2021 Chevy Silverado 1500 with Slide-In Camper
• The RoadActive Suspension Custom Leaf Spring Enhancement Kit part # RAS54FR will be a great option for a 2021 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 with slide-in camper. I do recommend the heavy duty version since you will have a constant load. These will fair better than the jounce spring style upgrades since these engage instantly and you can adjust the tension.

• Best Backup Camera for Towing with a 2018 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
• I do have some great backup camera options for you but none of them would be able to be displayed on the dash of your 2018 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. If you don't mind using a seperate monitor then I recommend the Furrion RV Observation Camera System part # FOS43TASF for 4.3" screen or part # FOS05TASF for a 5" screen. The Furrion RV Observation Camera System is one of my favorites because of how well it performs. Infact, this is the same system that is installed from the OEM on most trailers....

• AC Unit for RV that Can Easily Replace Coleman Mach
• If you are dead set on the DuoTherm from Dometic we won't be able to help with that as we do not carry that brand. We do have the Advent Air kit part # ACCOL150 which was specifically designed to replace a Mach unit like what you have so the install is as simple as possible. This will let you use the same control panel and nonducted vent as well.

• Parts Needed to Install Yakima Roundbar Roof Rack on 2018 Chevy Silverado 1500 Crew Cab
• Yakima recently discontinued their Q-Tower roof racks which means their Q clips are gone as well. You would need the Q7 clips part number 8000607 but they are not available anymore. We do have a solution that would allow you to still use the round bars you have though. For that you'd want the part numbers # Y28TR, # Y03536, and # Y06122 since you already have the round bars like part # Y00410.

• What Air Bags do You Recommend for My 2018 Chevy Silverado 1500 High Country?
• For great air springs for your 2018 Chevy Silverado 1500 High Country to help with tongue weight, I recommend the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate Air Helper Springs with Internal Jounce Bumpers # AL88211 (for 8-foot beds only) or # AL88204 (for all other bed sizes). Not only do these air bags fit 2-wheel and 4-wheel drive models, they also provide you with 5,000 pounds of load-leveling capacity that can help with sag and increase handling. It is important to note that air bags are not...

• Fifth Wheel Hitch Recommendation for 2016 Chevy Silverado 1500 Short Bed
• Yes, your 2016 Chevy Silverado 1500 was rated for fifth wheel towing and as long as you stay under the towing capacity of the (looks like 9,400 lbs based on numbers mentioned) you'd be perfectly fine. Since you have a short bed truck the kind of hitch you'll need is a slider hitch which will slide back to give you the turning clearance you need for sharp turns. For that my favorite option is the Demco Hijacker part # DM8550034 which actually slides back as you make tight turns to give...
