  • Underbed Curt Gooseneck Hitch for a 1994 GMC K3500
  • I recommend the Custom Installation Kit for Curt Overbed, Folding Ball Gooseneck Trailer Hitch part # C61503 which is actually a custom fit for your 1994 GMC K3500 SRW Regular Cab Long Bed so no drilling is required. The Universal Folding Gooseneck Ball Rail Kit 61502 was designed for pre-1988 GMC C/K Series Pickups so it will not fit. The first kit is then compatible with the Folding Ball Gooseneck Hitch part # C-52.

  • Will the Extang BlackMax # EX2305 Fit My 1987 GMC Sierra Short Bed?
  • I have a great alternative for you. Unfortunately, I confirmed with Extang that the Extang BlackMax Soft Tonneau Cover model 2305 has been discontinued from production. However, with that being said, a great tonneau cover that is confirmed to fit your 1987 GMC Sierra (with a short bed) is the Access TonnoSport Soft, Roll-Up Tonneau Cover # A22020029. The TonnoSport is a great aerodynamic cover that reduces wind drag and improves gas mileage by up to 10 percent. Also, the TonnoSport comes...

  • Combination Transmission and Oil Cooler for a 1996 GMC C/K Series 1500 with 5.7 Liter 350
  • Transmission coolers/oil coolers are not vehicle specific so you can install # D15903 on your 1996 GMC C/K series truck with the 5.7 liter as long as it has an automatic transmission. This combination cooler does have the proper thread type for the oil filter on a GMC truck. But for the transmission cooler part I recommend adding fitting # D13035 so you will not have to cut and flare any transmission lines. With these items you will not need anything else for the installation. I have...

  • Will Universal Installation Kit for Trailer Brake Controller Work on 1998 GMC K1500
  • The Universal Installation Kit for Trailer Brake Controller part # ETBC7 is universal so it will work on pretty much any vehicle, including your 1998 GMC K1500. It simply requires a 4-way flat connector to plug into but if you don't have this you can splice directly into the taillights. In regards to the on-board trailer battery, there's a duplex wire that comes in this kit and one of those wires gets run to the vehicle battery which will then charge the trailer battery.

  • How To Install Electric Brakes On A Trailer
  • In order to recommend the correct parts for your trailer when installing electric brakes, I would need to know your trailer's axle capacity. You can do this by finding one of three following things. The first thing you can do is locate the information tag on the center of the axle. If this is not found, you can disassemble the axle hubs and locate the part numbers on the inner diameter of both the inner and outer bearings. The last option you have is to call the manufacturer with your VIN. In...

  • Will Spare Tire Interfere with Trailer Hitch Installation on a 1978 GMC C/K Series Pickup Truck
  • The Curt trailer hitch # C14082 is designed to attach to the bottom of a 34 inch wide frame on a cab and chassis model 1978 Chevy C/K series pickup.

  • How to Select Brake Mounting Bolt Flange for Trailer
  • What you need to do if you do not have a brake mounting flange is have a qualified welder put one on, and that will depend on your axle's diameter. Based on your trailer's weight you likely have a 2-3/8" round axle and if so you would need Brake Mounting Flange # 4-35 though you will need to verify this; if you know your trailer's GVWR your axle should have a capacity no more than that. This flange works with 10" brake assemblies that will need to fit in your drum. For example, Electric...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver for 1998 GMC Pickup with 10 Inch Deep Drop Bumper
  • To get the highest towing capacity available on your 1998 GMC Truck I suggest the Curt Class V Trailer Hitch Receiver # C15317. This hitch has a gross trailer weight of 16,000 pounds and maximum tongue weight of 2,400 pounds. Of course you'll want to verify your truck's towing capacity since it will be the limited factor. All of the hardware is included to bolt this to your truck's frame. If you also need a ball mount, # C45340. This will keep you around the same weight capacity as...
