  • Parts Needed to Install a Trailer Brake Controller on a 2011 GMC Terrain
  • In order to install a brake controller on a 2011 GMC Terrain, you will need a few items. First, you will need to have a 4-Way trailer connector installed on the vehicle, # 118494, unless it already has one. Next, you will need a 4 and 7 way installation kit, # ETBC7. This will provide a 7-Way connector and all of the wiring to install it and a brake controller. Last, you will need the actual brake controller. I recommend the Tekonsha P2, # 90885 because it is easy to set up and easy...

  • Replacement Brake Controller For A 2007 GMC Sierra Classic

This proportional brake controller automatically levels when mounted within a 360-degree vertical range.

  • Troubleshooting Trailer Clearance/Side Marker Lights
  • If there is no corrosion or debris you need to check on the main ground on the tongue of your trailer and make sure that it is connected properly. The clearance lights come on when the running lights come on, and since that is when all the lights are trying to come on, a bad ground could cause some not to work. The ground wire could also not be connected correctly or it could be a weak ground. Next you should check and see if you are getting power from the vehicle connector to the clearance...

  • Recommended Solution for 2008 GMC Sierra with 2" Hitch Needing Extended Ball Mount
  • I have a solution for you, and the issue you'll encounter when you start using hitch extensions is that the further the weight gets away from the hitch, it reduces the tongue weight of the hitch by 50% or more. For that reason I don't recommend using any type of supplemental extension that the ball mount would then fit into. I recommend simply using a ball mount that is a bit longer than normal like the Brophy Ball Mount for 2" Hitch - 3/4" Rise, 2" Drop - 13-1/4" Long - 10,000 lbs # BH20,...

  • Recommended Demco Hijacker Autoslide Compatible with 2012 GMC Sierra and 2021 GMC Sierra
  • I have a solution for you, but Demco does not make a hitch that will drop directly into the pucks on a GMC truck, so you would have to use an adapter on the new truck. For the hitch, you can use the Demco Hijacker Autoslide # DM8550035; this hitch has a 21k capacity and will fit into industry standard base rails or the adapter mentioned below. I think it's always a good bet to go up to a higher capacity if there's a chance that you might end up with a trailer that's higher weight; so if...

  • Recommended Transmission Cooler and Parts Needed for Installation on 2011 GMC Sierra
  • For your 2011 GMC Sierra I recommend using a Derale 10,000 Series Stacked-Plate Cooler with -10 AN Fittings, like # D52510. I spoke with my contact at Derale and he said these coolers are popular among Allison transmission owners. When choosing a transmission cooler, the largest cooler that will fit in the space available in your engine compartment is typically the best. Generally speaking, the larger the cooler the better the cooler performance. A stacked-plate cooler is the most efficient...

  • Why is the Locking Plate # DM6025 Required for a MOR/ryde Pin Box When Using the Autoslide Hijacker
  • Most pin boxes, like the common Lippert 1621 # LC1191191, have a solid connection to the king pin and can be secured to the Demco Hijacker Autoslide # DM8550034 via the built-in brackets. Since the MOR/ryde pin boxes have a unique connection to the king pin the Locking Plate # DM6025 is needed so that the pin box can remain secure. This locking plate has a wedge on it so if you were to tow your trailer with a 5th wheel hitch that doesn't automatically slide (and has the same funnel size...

  • Troubleshooting The Curt Triflex Brake Controller On A 2017 GMC Yukon
  • You will first need to determine why The Curt Triflex Controller # C24VV is not working. You will need to check the correct fuse that corresponds to the brake control and its power supply. In the under hood fuse block (located near battery) fuse 36 is what you need to check. After checking if the trailer brake fuse is intact, you should then acquire a hook probe circuit tester # PTW2993. When the vehicle is on you will want to test the power wire (black) running into the controller....

  • Which D-Ring Can I Use on Factory Hitch of 2019 GMC Sierra 2500
  • Assuming that the safety chain loops have an opening greater than 1/2" in diameter, you could likely use something like the JR Products 1/2" Quick Link for Safety Chains # 37201345 to give yourself something larger to hook into. If your safety chain loops are smaller than that, let me know and I can see if there is another solution we can come up with. You can also provide a photo of the chain loops, which might be helpful in locating a solution.
