Expert Answers about GMC Savana Van


  • Trailer Hitch, Wiring, and Brake Controller for 2000 Bluebird Short School Bus on GMC Savana Chassis
  • Trailer hitch manufacturers have not tested trailer hitches on the Bluebird school bus built on a 2000 GMC Savana Van chassis. The issue that you could run into is that if the body of the school bus hangs lower than the regular Savana Van body the hitch, like # 13040, will not fit or modifications will need to be made. In this case though I am confident that it will work since even short bus bodies seem to sit up pretty high. You can add a brake controller by hardwiring one in. To do this...

  • Recommended Towing Mirrors For a 2019 GMC Savana Van
  • I recommend the Longview Custom Towing Mirrors # LVT-1700 for your 2019 GMC Savana Van. These custom fit mirrors will slide on to your factory mirrors and provide an additional 4-1/2" wide by 5-1/2" tall mirror outside your factory mirror. When not needed they slide off easily with no damage to your factory mirror.

  • How Can 7-Way/Brake Controller Install 2018 GMC Savana 3500 Cutaway
  • There might be a round connector at the rear of your 2018 GMC Savana Cutaway which you could plug a Hopkins 7-way part # 30955 into but the cutaway models aren't all the same unfortunately. If you find the connector you can use the # 30955 but if not you'd need to use the # 37185 to convert your 4-way to a 7-way and you'd need to run a length of 10 gauge wire like part # 10-1-1 from the blue wire of the adapter to the blue wire of the brake controller. Either setup will work great with...

  • Cost Effective Suspension Enhancement System for a 2009 GMC Savana Van
  • The most cost effective suspension enhancement system we have for a 2009 GMC Savana Van is the SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs part # SSR-204-40 for 1500 models or part # SSR-205-47 for 2500 and 3500 models. These two options are more cost effective than the Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System part # TGMRG25C but they will also not provide as much support although will still work to reduce sag/squat.

  • Parts Needed to Install 7-Way and 4-Way on 2011 GMC Savana Van
  • To have both a 4-way and 7-way on your 2011 GMC Savana Van you'd need a 4-way kit first with the part # 118392 and then to convert it to a 7-way you'd want the part # 37185 which also has a 4-way on the side of it. If your trailer has brakes you'd instead need to use the adapter kit part # ETBC7 and install a brake controller like the Brake EVN # TK63VR.

  • Recommendations for a 7-way on a 2007 GMC Savana Van
  • If your 2007 GMC Savana Van has a 7-way it should be either near the hitch underneath the rear of the vehicle or possibly if you open the rear doors it might be somewhere near the back, inside the vehicle. If your vehicle has the tow package it should have a 7-way. If you do not have the tow package you are going to need first a 4-way and then a 4-way to 7-way adapter. For a 4-way you would want a Tow Ready Custom Fit Vehicle Wiring # 118392. Check out the installation instructions and...

  • Hitch, 7-Way and Brake Controller Recommendation for 2015 GMC Savana Work Van
  • The round connector you have behind the bumper of your 2015 GMC Savana Van will connect directly to the 7 and 4-way combo part # HM40975 that you referenced. It will plug right into it and you'd be set. For a hitch then the Curt part # 14090 that you referenced is a confirmed fit and would work well. It's designed to fit the cargo vans like what you have as well. I attached an install video for this for you to check out as well. For a brake controller you'd then want the Prodigy p3 part...

  • Recommended Wiring Harness for a 2002 GMC Savana Van
  • There is definitely something that doesn't seem right here. What I recommend is the Tow Ready wiring harness part # 118377. It will definitely bypass the issues you are currently experiencing. This will provide the 4-Way connector to the back of your 2002 GMC Savana to power your trailer lights. This harness includes the T-one connector that combines the brake and turn signal functions on your 2002 GMC Savana. I highly recommend using dielectric grease to help prevent corrosion from water...

  • 2002 GMC Savana 2500 Extended Van CargoVan Mat Recommendation
  • For your 2002 GMC Savana 2500 extended wheelbase the correct VanRun is actually the part # VTRG96X as the kit you mentioned fits Mercedes Sprinter vans. This is custom fit for the cargo area of your van so it would not require measuring to verify fit.

  • How to Connect Auxiliary 100 lb Propane Tank to Fifth Wheel Camper

  • Hitch Recommendation for 2006 GMC Savana Van with a Knapheide Body
  • The Curt # C15320 that you referenced should fit your 2006 GMC Savana with a Knapheide Body if your mounting holes have a 40 inch center. Although the outside measurement is relevant, the more important measurement is the mounting hole center to mounting hole center which is a standard 40 inches. Providing you do have a 40 inch center, the Draw-Tite # 75189 will also fit. Your step bumper is going to be the deciding factor when trying to pick out a hitch for your truck. If your step...

  • 4-Way Trailer Wiring Recommendation for 1998 GMC Savana
  • Is there any trailer wiring at the rear of your vehicle? Most likely you wouldn't be looking for trailer wiring if your vehicle already had a 4-way as that is what the part # C55335 is designed to provide. This harness is a fit for your 1998 GMC Savana and will work well for you. The great thing about this harness is that even if your vehicle did have the factory 4-way this would still fit your vehicle and work perfectly fine. I attached an install video for you to check out as well.
