Yes it can! You'll need an additional crossbar piece, but the Nighthawk tow bar can fit crossbar-style base plates, you'll just need to add a quick disconnect in order to attach to the crossbar-style.
The correct parts to make this work are the following:
- Roadmaster Nighthawk All Terrain, Non-Binding Tow Bar w/ LED Lights # RM-676
- Replacement Quick Disconnect Crossbar Assembly # 910021-00
This will give you the best possible option for a tow bar, for a few different reasons. It... view full answer...
Thank you for your purchase of Firestone Coil-Rite Air Helper Springs # F4155 for your 2008 Chevrolet Uplander.
I suggest your mechanic begin his troubleshooting at the bag that deflated. If he inflates the bag to about 30-psi (near its 35-psi maximum) and applies soapy water to all connection points and the bag surface too he can check for air leaks. It is not necessary to remove the system from the Uplander to do this testing. The same test can be done wherever he can access the air... view full answer...
We do indeed have two tow dollies that will work for your 2008 Chevy Uplander, both from Demco:
- Demco Kar Kaddy SS Tow Dolly # DM9713045

Both dollies have a 4,800 lb capacity, which is enough for your '08 Uplander, and are able to tow vehicles with tread widths of 76" and 78", respectively, which is wide enough for your Uplander's 72" tread width.
So not only do both dollies have the capacities and width needed for your Uplander, they are... view full answer...
Yes, we have hardware kits available for all of the hitches we carry. Just put # RHK, replacement hardware kit, in the search box, then add your hitch part number and the manufacturer to the boxes on the product page and you will receive all of the installation hardware needed for the hitch.
At this time we do not sell individual hardware parts for liability reasons. Hitch installation hardware is torqued to fit and is designed for a single installation only, so replacement hardware is... view full answer...
On your Chevy Uplander, the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # 75278 will fit with your load leveling compressor. It will take some extra time to make sure that you have the proper fit, but the bracket will reinstall over the hitch receiver mounts. From your photos it appears you have already removed the only bolt that is required to be removed for installation. I've attached in the installation details for you. view full answer...
Thanks for your recent purchase!
The issue you are having is common on Chevy Uplanders because of the multiplex wiring system. Due to the low voltage at the stop light switch, you will want to tap the red wire from your brake controller # 5504 into the high mount stop light wire coming out of the BCM.
On your BCM (body control module) the wire that operates the high mount stop lamp is typically the white wire coming from pin location 30. Take a look at the help article I attached that... view full answer...
We have a T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4 Pole Trailer Connector, part # 118396, for the 2005 Chevy Uplander that would make installation a breeze. If you are hard wiring in a wiring harness, you can use a circuit tester like part # PTW2993, to identify each wire. Be very careful in making sure the wiring harness you have is correct for your vehicle, as using an incorrect one could damage the electrical system and possibly the computer in your vehicle. view full answer...
To install a brake controller on your 2005 Chevy Uplander, you will need three things. First, a brake controller. I recommend the Tekonsha Prodigy P2, # 90885. It is one of the more popular brake controllers because it is easy to use and install. I have included a link to the installation details below.
Next, you will need to install a 4-Way trailer wiring harness. You will need Tow Ready Custom Fit Vehicle Wiring, # 118396. This is a T-One style harness that plugs in line with your vehicles... view full answer...
When you install a supplemental transmission cooler in a vehicle you want it to be downstream of the factory cooler in the radiator. When we installed a cooler in similar Uplander as yours we found that the return line (the one to use for installation), was the one nearest the radiator cap.
To verify which line to use you can go out to your vehicle when it is cold and start it up, put it in gear and while holding the brakes raise the rpms by pressing the accelerator slightly. Quickly turn... view full answer...
The Saris Solo trunk mount bike rack # SA102 is indeed a fit for the Chevy Uplander. I checked with Saris and it fits the 2005 through 2008 models up the Uplander. I have linked a video review of this bike rack for you. view full answer...
Yes, for your 2008 Chevy Uplander with a 109 inch wheelbase part # 13344 is a confirmed fit. I attached an install video for you to check out for more info as well.
For trailer wiring you then would want the part # 118396.
If you wanted to do 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 ball, 2 inch ball, hitch pin... view full answer...
I am sure you are looking in the right place but there are two possible options for what you might see. If a loose connector is not behind the driver side trim panel in the cargo area of your 2007 Chevy Uplander then it may already be connected to the tail light wiring. You would have to unplug that connection and insert the Curt wiring harness connectors in between that factory connection so the 4-Way end branches off of it.
If that also is not present then you may need to pull up additional... view full answer...
I am sorry you are having a problem with your brake controller wiring. My initial reaction is that there is a ground issue from the odd readings you are getting from the wires under the dash. Start with no trailer attached. Make sure that all of the grounds you have hooked up are solid and clean.
If that does not work, then I would go to the connection right at the brake pedal and test the wires coming out there. One of these wires should provide no voltage until the brake is pressed and... view full answer...
In your 2005 Chevrolet Uplander the Firestone Coil-Rite Air Helper Spring Kit # F4155 will install with its air valve at the bottom of the spring. The vehicle's bump stop is to be removed and the included spacer will be placed at the bottom of the air spring in your installation. The written instructions are linked for your reference.
Always keep these springs inflated to at least their recommended minimum pressure of 5-psi and never exceed the 35-psi limit.

The 2007 Chevrolet Uplander with a Class III hitch has a 4,000 lbs maximum gross trailer weight (6,000 lbs) with weight distribution. You should not experience problems when towing, assuming the tongue weight of your trailer will not exceed 400 lbs and the total weight of the trailer will not exceed 4,000 lbs (or 6,000 lbs with weight distribution). I also did some research on your 2007 Chevrolet Uplander and found that the maximum recommended towing capacity for this vehicle is 3,500 pounds.... view full answer...
You would need to convert the 4-way to a 7-way so that you can install the brake controller. For that you will want the Brake Controller Install Kit and 7-Way Adapter part # ETBC7. I attached installation instructions and an install video for this product as well.
For a brake controller I would recommend the Prodigy P2 Brake Controller part # 90885. This is our best selling brake controller because of how well it works and how easy it is to setup. view full answer...
I contacted our representative at Tekonsha and he informed me that they have just released a tech bulletin on wiring a brake controller on the Chevrolet Uplander. He informed me that you cannot run the stoplight wire directly to the brake light switch.
You will need to locate the Body Control Module (BCM) which is located under on the left side of the dash on the drivers side. It will be located above your left knee if you were seated in the driver seat. You will need to locate the white... view full answer...

According to the online owner's manual of your 2008 Chevy Uplander it looks like you can't flat tow your vehicle, but you can tow it behind your motorhome using a tow dolly. I'm not sure about the lube pump situation so I recommend going with the tow dolly.
The Demco Kar Kaddy SS Tow Dolly with Disc Brakes # DM9713045 is what I recommend using to transport your vehicle. This comes with everything you need to tow your Uplander, it has a galvanized finish that helps it resist the elements,... view full answer...
