Expert Answers about Chevrolet Silverado 3500


  • Are Running Lights on Trailer Wiring Supposed to be On All the Time
  • Sounds like you might be missing the running light circuit on your trailer wiring. The running light circuit is supposed to come on when you have either the headlights of the vehicle turned on or the running lights of the vehicle. If you haven't checked the lights with those lights turned on yet that very well could be the issue as they aren't supposed to be on all the time. I attached a help article on trailer wiring troubleshooting for you to check out as well, but the other most likely...

  • Suspension Enhancement for 2018 Chevy Silverado 3500 Cab and Chassis
  • I checked with Air Lift and unfortunately the LoadLifter 7500 XL Air Helper Springs # AL57538 you referenced will not fit your 2018 Chevy Silverado 3500 Cab and Chassis and there's not a way to make them compatible. There aren't any air springs available that will fit the cab and chassis model of your truck. Your best option for adding rear suspension enhancement is with jounce-style springs. I highly recommend the Timbren Rear Suspension # TGMRCK25D that uses Aeon hollow rubber springs...

  • Recommended Direction for Installing 2-Piece Polypropylene Trailer Vent # HMAV2-AVT2
  • I recommend having the vent opening of the 2-Piece Polypropylene Trailer Vent # HMAV2-AVT2 either face the rear of the trailer so that it sucks air out as you are traveling or have it face down as either of these two positions will prevent water from entering into the trailer.

  • What Type of Rail Kit can Demco Hijacker Autoslide Fifth Wheel Hitch be Used With
  • Auto sliding fifth wheel hitches like the Demco Hijacker part # DM8550034 require a set of standard fifth wheel rails that would not also fit with your gooseneck hitch. There isn't a gooseneck adapter that can work either as the auto sliding hitches need rails that attach in four corners to truck frame due to additional torque the hitch puts on rails. So with the Hijacker your best solution would be to remove the gooseneck and install the fifth wheel rail kit part # DM8552011-71 and then...

  • Made In the USA Fifth Wheel and Gooseneck Hitch Recommendation for 2015 Chevy Silverado 3500
  • B and W makes all of their products in the US so for your 2015 Chevy Silverado 3500 I would recommend the B and W Turnover hitch part # BWGNRK1012 as it has been confirmed as a fit. I attached an install video that shows this hitch being installed on a 2015 Silverado 3500 like yours as well. This hitch also doubles as a fifth wheel hitch rail kit too. If you ever needed to tow a fifth wheel trailer you would only need the Companion part # BWRVK3500.

  • Troubleshooting Factory Integrated Trailer Brake Controller on 2015 Chevrolet Silverado 3500
  • Some factory OEM brake controllers are compatible only with electric drum trailer brakes and will not operate properly with an electric-over-hydraulic (EOH) trailer braking system. Other controllers may have the flexibility to work with both types but could require you to select the appropriate setting. For example, the excellent Prodigy P2 controller # 90885 can be set up to work with either electric drum brakes or EOH actuators. If this compatibility is not the issue then you can move...

  • Recommended 5TH Wheel Hitch For a 2024 Chevy Silverado 3500 With Factory Prep/Puck Short Bed
  • I recommend the Demco Autoslide 5th Wheel Hitch # DM29GV for your 2024 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 with the 6.8' bed. This hitch is rated for up to 21,000lbs with a tongue weight up to 5,250lbs. This is my favorite hitch as it automatically moves the hitch back up to 14" as you turn to give you the clearance needed to make jackknife turns. Depending on your pin box you may need a locking plate to prevent the pin box from turning on the hitch. The B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Hitch # BWRVK3775...

  • Is There a Way to Tow Fifth Wheel Trailer with Truck that Has Flat Bed
  • Since flat beds sit up a little higher than standard truck bed the B and W rail kit # BWRVK2506 that you referenced wouldn't work since the top portion of the mounting brackets wouldn't line up. Also, since the bed is taller your hitch would end up too tall and your trailer would be nose high. You'd need to use a low profile fifth wheel hitch like the B and W Companion Hitch for Flatbed trucks part # BWRVK3050. This would require the flat bed B and W hitch part # BWGNRK1500.

  • Gooseneck Hitch Recommendation for 2018 Chevy Silverado 3500 for Standard and Flat Beds
  • Thank you for reaching out! If you have a standard truck bed then you need the B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch # BWGNRK1016 that installs directly to existing holes in the frame of your truck. If you have a cab & chassis model with the flat bed then the B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch # BWGNRK1500 is what you need instead. This installs by welding to the frame so you'll want someone who has done this type of installation before to handle the installation. Feel...
