• Best Complete Towing Setup for a 2003 Chevy Suburban 1500
• First thing you need to do is check your owners manual to determine if your vehicle has the capacity to tow 8,000 lbs. Let's start with a hitch. For that I will recommend the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch # 41930. This would have more than enough capacity. If you plan on doing some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch...

• Can 4 Gauge Wire from a Battery Isolator be Used to Power a Small Winch
• Yes, you could use the Pollak 2-Pole Trailer Wiring Connector and a 4 gauge wire to power a small winch as long as the wire gauge for the winch is not thicker than 4 gauge. Since the winch is small, it likely uses 8 or 10 gauge wire, so you should be fine. I have attached a help article that explains different methods for wiring an electric winch for you to check out.

• Recommendation for Replacing a 7-Way Plug that Was Cut Off a 2007 GMC Sierra 2500
• Where was the harness cut? Is it between the 7-Way plug and round socket on the # 30955 harness, or is it behind that, on the factory wiring? If it was the # 30955 harness that got cut, it would be easiest to go ahead and replace it. If the factory socket was cut off, then you could use the Pollak 4-foot pigtail # PK11998 to attach the # PK11893 7-Way plug you referenced. We do not have a specific wiring diagram for your 2011 Chevrolet Suburban, so you would need to use a circuit...

• Can a Tekonsha P3 Brake Controller Receive Power from a Keyed Power Source
• It is not recommended to supply power to a brake controller from anything other than the vehicle battery or a dedicated fuse in the fuse box. When the brake controller is sending power to the trailer brakes, it will draw approximately 2 to 3 amps for each brake assembly. If the brake controller is tapped into another fuse, the additional amp draw on that circuit could blow that fuse and cause other damage to the vehicles electrical system. The brake controller will not drain your vehicle...

• Trailer Brake Controller Not Working on 2007 Chevrolet Suburban
• On your 2007 Chevrolet Suburban there are two wires under the hood that have to be connected to make the tow package functional, one is the power wire to the brake control and the other is the battery charge line to the 7 way connector. These wires are both Red/Black with eyelets on them. They are coiled up under the hood and will need to be connected to the under hood fuse box. One of the wires is located between the under hood fuse box and the left (driver) side fender. The other is...

• Troubleshooting a Tekonsha Voyager Brake Controller on a 1999 1500 4x4 Chevy Suburban
• Basically you will need to go over all of the connections you made for the Tekonsha Voyager # 39510 to determine where the problem is. Starting with the white wire, this wire will need to be run to negative terminal of your battery so that the controller is grounded properly. Next the black wire. This wire needs to be run to the positive side of the battery through a 40 amp circuit breaker. If both of these connections are made properly then the controller should be powering on. If...

• Roof Cargo Basket Recommendation for a 2007 Chevy Suburban
• I checked with Surco and they list Safari Rack # SPS5084-1101 as the proper fit for your 2007 Chevy Suburban. This version comes with adapters to attach the basket to the factory side rails on your Suburban. Side rails run front to back. The basket does not attach to crossbars that run side to side. As for the different sizes available with the correct adapters the 50 inch width will be needed for a proper fit but there is # SPS5060-1101 at 60 inches long. Another option for most aftermarket...

• Compatibility of Underbody Toolbox and Trailer Tray Cargo Carrier
• Since the Stromberg Carlson Trailer Tray Cargo Carrier # CC-255, has tray dimensions of 32" long x 20" wide and measures 14" wide from back to angle cut. And the RC Manufacturing Z-Series Truck or Trailer Underbody Toolbox # UBT1818-30 overall dimensions are 30" long x 18" wide x 18" tall, we just need to make sure that the box will fit on the carrier. The edges on the carrier are angled, because of those angles the box will not fit on the carrier. This determination was based on how far...

• What Gauge Wire Does the Heavy Duty Magnetic Tow Lights Part # TL21RK Use
• I spoke to my contact at Optronics and they informed me that the Heavy Duty Magnetic Tow Lights part # TL21RK uses a 20 gauge wire. This will be standard for most magnetic tow lights for the exception of a few which can use an 18 gauge wire but that would be the thickness wire used in a set of magnetic tow lights.

• Does the Wiring Harness Come with the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 # 90195
• The Pigtail Wiring Harness # 7894 is included with the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 # 90195 for a hardwiring application. However, if you are wanting to install it on the 2016 Chevrolet Suburban you put for your vehicle then you will want the Plug-In Adapter # 3016 if you have the factory tow package. This will plug into a connector under your driver side dash. I have attached examples of both installations on a 2015 and 2011 Tahoe that you can reference.

• Why Does the Trailer Hitch for a 2002 Chevrolet Suburban 1500 Require a Factory Hitch
• The only trailer hitch we offer for a 2002 Chevrolet Suburban 1500 that does not have a set of mounting holes that need to be attached to a factory rear bumper is the Draw-Tite Ultra Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 41930. However, it does attach to the factory bumper bracket so that will need to be in place in order for this or any custom fit trailer hitch to work for you. The forward most (towards rear) mounting hole is in the bumper bracket which is why it needs to have this to be...

• Can Erickson Big Bed Junior Load Extender be Used on 1986 Chevy Suburban?
• I assume by Tahoe you are referring to a 1986 Chevy Suburban and you can use the Erickson Big Bed Junior Load Extender # EM07605 so long as you are comfortable with the rear of your Suburban being open. There are some measurements you should be aware of to ensure you have the proper clearance; the Load Extender # EM07605 will extend 4 feet from your your hitch receiver and can adjust in height from 17" to 24". To use the extender you also need Pin and Clip # PC3 to secure it to your hitch...

• Possible Replacement Mounting Hardware For Thule Combibox 250
• I checked with Thule for you and they do not have any replacement mounting hardware for a Thule Combibox 250, so we can't confirm a fit for any hardware. That said, mounting hardware can often be made to fit, though it will likely require you to drill new holes in your cargo box. If you are willing to do that you should be able to use the Replacement Mounting Hardware for Thule Weekender Cargo Box # 1032802.

• Does Roadmaster Tow Dolly with Electric Brakes Require Safety Chain for Vehicle
• You will not need to add safety chains to attach your vehicle to the Roadmaster Tow Dolly with Electric Brakes # RM-2050-1. Like you mentioned, the ratcheting wheel straps are going to be what secures your vehicle to the dolly. The dolly does come with safety chains, but those are for the dolly itself and attach to your motorhome. I have added links to a couple video reviews for you to check out as well of the Roadmaster Tow Dolly with Electric Brakes # RM-2050-1.

• RoadActive # RAS4611 Active Suspension (2000 pounds) Standard Duty is a confirmed fit in my Fit Guide for a 2002 Chevrolet Suburban 1500 with rear leaf springs.

You should visually double-check your rear suspension before ordering anything. Keep in mind that suspension upgrades improve ride and handling but...

• Trailer Wheel and Tire with Matching Weight Capacity
• With combination products like the Lynx wheel and ST205/75R15 tire # LHAW320 the lower-rated of the two component parts determines overall capacity. This tire can handle 2150-lbs at its rated 65-psi pressure but the wheel itself is indeed rated for less weight, 1820-lbs, so that is the overall capacity of the combination item. You want to choose wheels and tires to match the trailer's GVWR (gross vehicle weight rating), not its dry weight, since that is the most it can weigh and the weight...
