  • Installing Curt Brake Controller on 2007 Chevy Silverado New Body
  • It sounds like you have the correct harness for your Curt Venturer Brake Controller # C74VV and your 2007 Chevy Silverado, which is the Wiring Adapter Harness # C51515. This particular harness does feature a plug on one end that connects to the brake controller itself but as you mentioned the other end features bare wires. This is because the 2007 Chevy Silverado should have bare brake controller wiring, not a plug, under the dash that these wires will connect to. It's possible that the...

  • Curt Drop Weight Distribution Shank Recommendation for a Reese Strait-Line System
  • The Curt weight distribution shanks like the part # 17120 will fit the same systems that a Reese shank would, so the # 17120 would be compatible. It would provide drop of 5-3/4 inches when used with a trunnion setup like your Straitline. If that is enough drop this would work well. If you need more drop you could use the # C17123 which can do up to 8-1/4 inches.

  • 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Installation Kit for a 2007 Chevy Silverado New Body Style
  • Chevy made a 5-1/2 foot bed and 6-1/2 foot bed for the 1500 models in the new body style for the 2007 model year. If you have a 2500 or 3500 series it would be a 6-1/2 foot bed. If you do have a 1500 you can use universal installation kit # RP30035 in either bed length. And, for either bed length, you can use custom installation kit # RP50064-58. I have linked a video showing a typical installation of the custom kit for you. The difference between the 2 kits is that the custom kit requires...

  • The Reese Fifth Wheel Installation Kit # RP30061 is considered a fit for your 2007 Chevrolet Silverado, and should work with Firestone Airbag suspension enhancement. Typically the under bed mounting kits allow for utilization of the existing frame mount locations for the Firestone Airbags. The 5th wheel hitch under bed mounting kit mounts to the outside of the truck frame, and the airbag brackets typically mount on the inside of the frame. If your current Firestone Airbag System mounts...

  • Fifth Wheel Install Kit For A 2007 Chevy Silverado 2500 HD
  • We do carry fifth wheel install/rail kits for your 2007 Chevy Silverado 2500 HD. For that I recommend the B&W Custom Installation Kit w/ Base Rails # BWRVK2500. This kit comes with all of the underbed install kit, as well as the above bed rails. I prefer this kit over others because it will be a no-drill install. Also the B&W products are made here in the USA. This kit includes industry standard fifth wheel rails, which will be compatible with virtually any fifth wheel hitch like the B&W...

  • Recommended Trailer Brake Controller For a 2007 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD
  • I recommend the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake Controller # 90195 for your 2007 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD. This is my favorite controller as it has an easy to read LCD and is well know for its durability and functionality. You will need to know if you have the new body style or the classic as the wiring for these will be different. On the new body style the wiring is already under the dash but will need to be wired in. On the classic body style there is a connector which you can plug...

  • Will installation Of SumoSprings On 2007 Chevrolet Silverado Increase The Truck Height
  • When the SumoSprings Custom Helper Springs Kit, part # SSR-209-40 is installed on your 2007 Silverado, it does not provide any lift for your truck. There should be a small gap between 1/2 and 1-1/2 inches from the bottom of the SumoSpring to the axle. When a load is placed in the back of your truck it will make the bed lower and the springs will provide extra support and help make the ride smoother.

  • Ball Mount Recommendation For Trailer Hitch and Trailer Coupler with Same Height
  • Since your hitch and coupler height are the same, I recommend using a ball mount with a straight shank, like the Curt # C62KR. This ball mount features a 1-7/8 inch, 2 inch, and 2-5/16 inch balls. The straight shank on this ball mount will allow you to tow your utility trailer level. If you don't like the idea of a multi-ball mount, you can use a ball mount with a 2 inch drop, like the Convert-A-Ball Ball Mount 3/4 inch Rise or 2 Inch Drop # AMSC2, with a hitch ball that has a rise, like...

  • Replacement Tarp for Extang Tuff Tonno on 2007 Chevy Silverado New Body With 66 Bed
  • The Extang Tuff Tonno that that fits your 2007 Chevy Silverado New Body with a 6 foot 6 inch bed is model # EX14650, which is a soft, roll-up tonneau cover. I assume by replacement cover you were referring to getting a replacement tarp and for that you will need the Replacement Tarp for Extang Tuff Tonno Snapless J-Strip, Soft Roll-up Tonneau Cover # EX13650. The other replacement part available for this cover is the Replacement Fixed Bow End # EX4100.

  • The most efficient way to cool your vehicle's transmission is by using a remote mounted transmission cooler like the Derale 16-Pass Electra-Cool Remote Transmission Cooler part # D15900 as you will not want an auxiliary cooler blocking airflow to the radiator on your 2007 Chevrolet Silverado 1500.

  • What Kind Of Probes Are Needed When Installing The Edge Juice with Attitude CTS # EP21503
  • I spoke to my contact at Edge on the Edge Juice with Attitude CTS, part # EP21503, and he said you do not need a boost probe for this product. It will get that information from the engine control module of your 2007 Chevrolet Silverado 6.6L Duramax Diesel LMM. The EGT (exhaust gas temperature) probe is included in the package and he said that on your Chevrolet 6.6L Duramax Diesel LMM it is not equipped with a pre-turbo EGT probe. It is however equipped with two EGT probes downstream from...

  • Are WeatherTech Rear Mud Flaps Available For a 2007 Chevrolet Silverado New Body
  • The rear mud flaps for the 2007 Chevrolet Silverado New Body would be the WeatherTech Mud Flaps - Rear Pair, part # WT120010. The rear mud flaps will not work on Dually vehicles. If you need the front and the rear mud flaps together you can order the WeatherTech Mud Flap 4-Piece Set, part # WT110010-120010. These mud flaps will fit vehicles with factory running boards, but will NOT fit vehicles with fender flares.

  • Recommended Ladder Rack for 2007 Chevy Silverado New Body that Mounts to Stake Pockets
  • For a ladder rack that will mount to the stake pockets on your 2007 Chevy Silverado New Body, I recommend taking a look at the Thule TracRac SR Sliding Truck Bed Ladder Rack. If you have the 6-1/2 foot bed, you will use # TH43002XT-501 and if you have the 1500 with the 5-1/2 foot bed, you will need # TH43002XT-608. This is an excellent sliding ladder rack that features T-track base rails that will let the rack slide along the length of the bed. 4 aluminum load stops are included to keep...

  • Derale Transmission Cooler Fit for 2007 Chevrolet Silverado 5.3L
  • Transmission and oil coolers are not vehicle-specific. A transmission cooler can be installed in a vehicle so long as you have space to mount it in an appropriate location where it will receive proper air flow. You are correct that we do not show the 5.3L option among the engines offered for your 2007 Silverado. I checked our performance tuner applications and indeed the 5.3L appears there so it is likely just an oversight. My contact at Derale confirmed they know of no reason cooler...

  • How To Bypass Factory Brake Controller on 2007 and Newer Chevy Silverados
  • When installing an aftermarket brake control into a truck that is equipped with a factory Integrated Trailer Brake Control (ITBC), you will have to make the following connections. The 2007 (new body style)-current models have four or five blunt-cut wires under the left side of the instrument panel. These wires are located above your left shin as you are seated in the driver's seat. The wires can be identified by a white label and the color of the wires. The wire colors are (1) Red/Black...
