  • Best Transmission Cooler Recommendation for 2012 Chevy Suburban
  • One really efficient and larger transmission cooler would be all that you'd need. In theory, the more the better but in reality one really good one would be all that you'd need. The Derale Hyper Cool part # D13960 is a stacked plate style of cooler with a built in fan which would be more than adequate. The stacked plate coolers are by far the most efficient and the fan ensures that you'd always have enough airflow to cool the fluid. It also allows you to mount basically anywhere as it...

  • 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...

  • Which Reese Goose Box Fitts 2014 Denali Dutchman
  • I checked with Lippert and the chassis number you referenced means you have a 1716 pin which means you would need the Goose Box part # RP94716-61301 for a 16k Goose Box. This will give you a cushioned gooseneck adapter that won't void the frame warranty of your RV unlike other options.

  • Recommended Base Plate Kit For 1987 Chevrolet Blazer Full Size
  • I may have another option for you, but Blue Ox does not offer a base plate kit for your 1987 Chevrolet Blazer Full Size. Currently the only base plate kit confirmed to fit your vehicle is the Roadmaster Crossbar-Style Base Plate Kit # 108-1. This base plate will pair nicely with the Roadmaster Falcon 2 Tow Bar # RM-520. To complete your flat tow setup you would need the following parts if you do not already have them: Wiring # RM-15267 Safety Cables # RM-643 Supplemental Braking System...

  • You will want to go with a universal weld-on receiver such as Draw-Tite Ultra Frame Service Body Trailer Hitch Receiver - Weld On - Class V - 2" # 41990-07 since there is not a custom-fit receiver for your 2006 GMC Savana Cutaway.

  • Recommended 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch For 2002 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD W/ Gooseneck Hitch
  • I would be happy to recommend the parts needed to tow a 5th wheel trailer with your 2002 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD with a 6-1/2' bed. There are a few different options for you but I will go over the pros and cons of each. As long as the Demco hitches you mentioned are slider hitches that use the above bed industry standard rails, either will work perfect for you. Since your truck has a bed shorter than 8' a slider is recommend to allow you to make sharper turns without having the nose...

  • Recommended Roof Racks for a 2017 Chevrolet Traverse
  • I am not sure what you mean by channels. The 2017 Chevrolet Traverse has two options of roofs: one with flush rails and the other with a naked roof. If you have the flush rails, I recommend the Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars, part # RRVA137B-2. These are aero-style crossbars, so they are compatible with most accessories while cutting down on wind drag and noise. They're 54" long and have a weight capacity of 165 pounds. I've linked to a video review of these for you to look at. To attach...

  • Determining Correct Replacement Mounting Brackets For Grille Guard On 2011 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
  • The mounting brackets for grille guards are specific to the Year/Make/Model of your vehicle, and also the Brand/Model of the brush guard. For example the Westin Sportsman Grille Guard - 1 Piece - Black Powder Coated Steel # 40-2275 is a confirmed fit for your 2011 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and includes the correct mounting brackets and hardware, but if you needed replacement brackets you would use the Replacement Hardware for Westin Sportsman Grille Guard # 40-227PK.

  • Recommended Method To Remove Rear End Sag When Towing 9000 lb Camper
  • The most effective way to eliminate the rear end sag and return some of that load to the front truck axle would be to use a weight distribution system with an integrated sway control component. A weight distribution system uses leverage provided by spring bars to transfer a portion of the trailer's tongue weight from the rear truck axle to the front axle. This levels the ride height which will give you improved steering and braking performance. It will also angle your headlight beams back...

  • Class IV Trailer Hitch Receiver for a 2002 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD with 8 Foot Bed
  • For a class IV trailer hitch that is a confirmed fit for your 2002 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD, I recommend using the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 14211. This hitch is a custom fit that installs using pre-drilled holes in the frame rails. It has a 12,000 lb weight capacity which will meet the most well equipped 2002 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD so there would be no need to pay more for a class V trailer hitch. The Curt trailer hitch is also made in the USA and has a lifetime warranty....

  • Will K-Source Snap & Zap Custom Mirrors Scratch Painted Mirrors on 2003 Chevy Silverado
  • The K-Source Snap & Zap Custom Towing Mirrors # KS80800 referenced in your question are confirmed to fit your 2003 Chevy Silverado and they will not scratch the backside of your painted factory mirrors. These custom mirrors actually have foam padding inside the housing where it will make contact with the factory mirrors to prevent any kind of scratching or scuffing. Because these are custom fit mirrors they will also have a really snug fit on the factory units which greatly reduces any...

  • Could Backup Camera Activate with Brake Pedal
  • If you wanted to wire up a backup camera to come on every time you put on the brakes it's definitely possible to do that and have it come on when you are in reverse. It might get somewhat annoying at night with the monitor coming off and on but it would just be a matter of running the two wires to the same circuit like you mentioned.

  • Stacked Plate Transmission Cooler Recommendation for 2001 GMC Sierra 2500hd 6.0 Liter
  • Stacked plate style transmission coolers are the most efficient style like you mentioned. The Derale Cooler part # D13403 would do a really good job keeping the fluid temps down on your 2001 GMC Sierra 2500hd 6.0 liter. To install this you'll also want the hose fitting part # D13018 too so that you don't have to cut any hard lines.

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch, Wiring, and Brake Controller for 2019 Chevy Express Van
  • We have everything you need to safely pull a trailer equipped with electric brakes with your new 2019 Chevy Express Van. Let's start by adding a trailer hitch. For this I recommend the Curt Class V Receiver Hitch # C15320 because of its superior weight ratings (16,000 pound towing capacity and 2,400 tongue weight limit), simple installation without the need for any drilling, and the fact that it is made right here in the USA. I have attached an installation video on the 2017 model Express...

  • Recommended Rear Suspension Enhancement for 2018 Chevy Silverado 1500 with 2 Inch Lift
  • For your 2018 Chevy Silverado 1500 with the 2 inch lift I recommend the Air Lift LoadLIfter 5000 Air Helper Springs # AL57204 because of their superior mounting brackets. The brackets feature unique upper and lower roll plates to both increase the spring capacity and also protect them from damage, resulting in a longer lifespan. This system will provide the rear suspension of your Silverado 1500 with 5,000 pounds of load-leveling support and the air springs can be adjusted (5 psi to 100...
