Expert Answers about Chevrolet C-Series Medium Duty


  • Curt Gooseneck Flat Plate and Rail Kit for 1989 Chevy C70 truck
  • The Curt Gooseneck Flat Plate # C65500 is 3/8 inch thick and is rated at up to 30,000 lbs when there is underbed reinforcement. To tow a trailer loaded at 18,000 lbs I do recommend reinforcing the 1/4 inch metal with something to give you stability in between your frame rails. For instance the Curt 600 Series Gooseneck Installation Kit for Chevy/GMC # C60631 is a great choice for the support you need. I've attached some videos to assist.

  • What Electric Bike Rack Do You Recommend that Installs to the Frame of My Motorhome?
  • I have a solution for you. We do not carry any bike racks that secure to a vehicle's frame. For your heavy electric bikes, a motorhome-approved hitch-mounted carrier is the right way to go. I recommend the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE # HLY84FR. The Sport Rider SE has the highest maximum per-bike weight capacity of any rack we currently carry (80 pounds). As far as construction, the Sport Rider SE is specially manufactured to withstand the added torque and force when mounted on the hitch...

  • Can I Change From Surge Hydraulic Brake To Electric Brakes
  • More than likely you can switch your brakes from surge hydraulic to electric. However, I am unable to tell you if the Electric Trailer Brake Kit # AKEBRK-35-SA is going to fit or not without certain measurements. To ensure that you get the correct hub assembly you need to know what spindle you have on your trailer. In order to do that you can either get the inner and outer bearing numbers from a hub or use a dial or digital caliper to get the exact measurements of the spindle. The measurements...

  • Recommended Inverter For Powering TV and Coffee Pot While Not Hooked Up To Shore Power
  • The correct inverter for your setup is really going to come down to the wattage requirements of the appliances you will be using in your 2008 Freedom Express RV when running off the battery bank. I included a chart that goes over common wattage requirements for certain appliances, and based off what you are wanting to power a 2000 Watt Inverter like the # PD64FR will likely work, but if you try to run any additional appliances at the same time you may run into issues. It would not hurt...

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for a Chevrolet C10
  • The 1974 Chevrolet C10 is categorized as a C/K Series not a C-Series which I think may be where the problem lies. I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 13028 which is a confirmed fit for a Chevrolet C10 from 1963-1987. The Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 75500 is for a Chevrolet Suburban therefore would not work for you. Please note, there may be some slight modifications required such as drilling a hole or two into the frame or rerouting the tail pipes...

  • Fifth Wheel Rail Kit Recommendation for 1985 Chevy K20
  • I can't find the part number you mentioned but I am fairly certain it's a standard style of fifth wheel hitch and you are looking for a rail kit to fit it to the bed of your 1985 Chevy K20. For a rail kit that would fit and work well the Reese Universal kit part # RP30035 would be a great option. This has been confirmed as a fit for your 1985 Chevy K20 truck.

  • Will Westin Truck-Pal Fold-Up Bed Ladder Fit 35" Height of 2003 Chevy Silverado 2500 Tailgate
  • Since you have a 35" height for your 2003 Chevy Silverado 2500 and the Westin Truck-Pal Fold-Up Bed Ladder # 10-3000 is a universal application for tailgates that are 38" or less to the ground this should work well for your pickup. Just make sure that you have enough space for the 6" long x 16-3/4" wide mounting bracket. Since this is a universal fit I can't really verify the exact location that you are wanting to mount it to so you'll have to verify that on your end.

  • Recommended Baseplate For A 1979 Chevy C10 Stepside
  • Looking at Roadmaster's fitguide the only option is the Roadmaster Crossbar-Style Base Plate Kit # 122-1, with the stipulation that it's 2 Wheel Drive and excluding Diesel and 5.7L Engine models. There currently isn't an adapter to go from a Roadmaster baseplate to a Ready Brute tow bar so you would need to also get a compatible tow bar, like the etrailer SD Non-Binding Tow Bar # e44ZR. This tow bar is going to also come with safety cables so you won't have to purchase them separately....

  • Tire Chain Recommendation for Motorhome with Tire Size 227/75-15
  • We have tire chains that fit your tire size of 225/75-15 that you have on your motorhome but we don't have any for a dually type setup like you are wanting. So what you'd want to do is install a set on the outside wheels like with the Titan chains part # TC2016. These are a lower profile chain that will give you a smoother ride quality. Cable setups don't hold up as well as chains and since this is a heavier motorhome setup I'd recommend you stick with chains for better longevity.

  • Troubleshooting no Power to Trailer Turn Signals
  • If your trailer turn signals are not working there are a number of different reasons and there are some troubleshooting steps you can take to determine the specific problem. The first thing to do is take a look at your owner's manual to locate where any trailer fuses or relays and ensure they are all there and in working order. If they are, since you tested the plug on your 2001 Chevy and found no signal at the turn signals, check your connector for corrosion, which can be green or white...

  • Can 4.80-12 Size Tires be Used to Replace 145R12 Size Tires for 1998 Eagle 8 SD TIRES
  • While a 4.80-12 size tire would fit because it is smaller, I recommend sticking with your 145R12 tire size (which is also known as 145/80R12) for a few reasons. The first reason is that the 145R12 size tires have a higher weight rating which means by keeping this size you won't be lowering your overall weight rating. Second reason is that the 145R12 is a radial tire which is built for highway use. The 4.80-12 tires can be used on the highway but they are all bias tires which have a stiffer...

  • Wheel Net Recommendation for E-Tracks of Car Hauler
  • We actually have wheel nets that are designed for E-tracks as the part # 77314. These come with the exact clips needed to easily connect to E-track. If you are looking for an easy way to secure the wheels of a vehicle to a trailer that has E-track this would be the way to go! Check out the review video and install picture I attached for more info as well.

  • Hanger Spacing Used When Installing Triple Axle Slipper Spring Kit
  • I can give you a general estimate but the only way to get it just right is to mock up all the parts to determine the proper locations prior to permanently installing everything. On a triple axle trailer with 2 inch wide slipper springs the distance from the first and second hangers would be approximately 28-1/2 inches. From the second to third hangers it would be approximately 33 inches. And from the third to fourth hangers it would be approximately 28-1/2 inches. For this set up the center...

  • Will Replacement Key For Global Link RV Locks Work on Motorhome
  • There really is no way to tell as we do not have access to information concerning what locks are on motorhomes. The Replacement Key for Global Link RV Locks # 295-000059 would only work if your motorhome has a Global Link entry door and you know you need key 333.

  • Troubleshooting Trailer Brakes that Only Activate with Manual Override Lever on Brake Controller
  • There are a couple possible reasons as to why your Draw-Tite brake controller is only applying the trailer brakes when using the manual override lever. I first recommend making sure that the red wire from the controller is connected to the cold side of the truck's brake light switch. You can use a circuit tester like # PTW2993 to ensure you have the correct wire on the vehicle, which will only receive power with the brake pedal pressed, and no power with any other vehicle function. If...

  • Will the Curt Trailer Hitch # C13042 Fit a 1998 Chevy Pickup 1500
  • The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13042 that you referenced is a confirmed fit for your 1998 Chevy 1500. If looks like when you selected your vehicle you chose "1998 Chevrolet C-Series Medium Duty" instead of the "1998 Chevrolet C/K Series Pickup" catagory that your 1500 falls under. If you will be using this trailer hitch to tow lighter trailers that don't utilize brakes then you will also want to install the Tekonsha T-One # 118315 to activate the basic trailer lighting functions....
