Expert Answers about Chevrolet Silverado


  • Fan-tastic Fan Vent Cover for Fan with Automatic Lift
  • I contacted Fan-tastic Vent and the Vent cover part # FVU1500WH works with your fan-tastic fan 6600. The fan lid does open to 11-1/2 inches tall and the cover is 10- 1/4 inches so the fan lid does not completely open with the cover attach but Fan-tastic does guarantee the fan will still work to it's fully intended speed. The fan lid not extending all of the way does not affect the motor or wear it down. The fan is still open enough to get the proper air flow. The Fan-tastic Vent cover is...

  • Recommended 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch For 2002 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD W/ Gooseneck Hitch
  • I would be happy to recommend the parts needed to tow a 5th wheel trailer with your 2002 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD with a 6-1/2' bed. There are a few different options for you but I will go over the pros and cons of each.

  • Determining Correct Replacement Mounting Brackets For Grille Guard On 2011 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
  • The mounting brackets for grille guards are specific to the Year/Make/Model of your vehicle, and also the Brand/Model of the brush guard. For example the Westin Sportsman Grille Guard - 1 Piece - Black Powder Coated Steel # 40-2275 is a confirmed fit for your 2011 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and includes the correct mounting brackets and hardware, but if you needed replacement brackets you would use the Replacement Hardware for Westin Sportsman Grille Guard # 40-227PK.

  • TorkLift StableLoad Suspension Upgrade for 2005 Chevy Silverado 2500HD
  • According to TorkLift, their # TLA7310 StableLoad will install on your vehicle with no drilling required. Both the upper and lower StableLoad work by reducing the preload required before the factory overload springs come into effect. Torklift states that the lower # TLA7310 kit will solve 90% of handling issues experienced by improving safety and handling, reducing sway and body roll and eliminating sag and leveling the vehicle. The # TLA7200 will do the same thing by applying preload...

  • Class IV Trailer Hitch Receiver for a 2002 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD with 8 Foot Bed

This hitch is a custom fit that installs using pre-drilled holes in the frame rails. It has a 12,000 lb weight capacity which will meet the most well equipped 2002 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD so there would be no need to pay more for a class V trailer hitch.

  • Will K-Source Snap & Zap Custom Mirrors Scratch Painted Mirrors on 2003 Chevy Silverado
  • The K-Source Snap & Zap Custom Towing Mirrors # KS80800 referenced in your question are confirmed to fit your 2003 Chevy Silverado and they will not scratch the backside of your painted factory mirrors. These custom mirrors actually have foam padding inside the housing where it will make contact with the factory mirrors to prevent any kind of scratching or scuffing. Because these are custom fit mirrors they will also have a really snug fit on the factory units which greatly reduces any...

  • Stacked Plate Transmission Cooler Recommendation for 2001 GMC Sierra 2500hd 6.0 Liter
  • Stacked plate style transmission coolers are the most efficient style like you mentioned. The Derale Cooler part # D13403 would do a really good job keeping the fluid temps down on your 2001 GMC Sierra 2500hd 6.0 liter. To install this you'll also want the hose fitting part # D13018 too so that you don't have to cut any hard lines.

  • Which Reese Outboard Rail Kit Fits 2011 Chevy Silverado 1500
  • Since your 2011 Chevy Silverado is a 1500 model the correct Reese Outboard Rail Kit is actually the # RP56007-53 and not the # RP56001-53 you referenced. This is why the bolt holes on your truck frame don't seem to match. I attached an install video for this for you to check out as well.

  • Loosen Lippert Slide Topper Tension
  • I reached out to my contact at Lippert to verify the procedure for loosening the tension on your slide topper awning. I have attached a link to the installation guide. On page 6 and step 11 is a description of releasing the awning tension. I have also included a link to a video of the install instructions produced by Lippert. Keep in mind that there is a torsion spring inside of the roll up tube and much like an oldfashioned pull down household shade - if you let go it will whiz around...

  • How To Install Camco RV Vinyl Trim Insert
  • The Camco RV Vinyl Trim Insert part # CAM25262 does not come with instructions. It's designed to slide into a channel or track. If the ends of the track/channel are not open then you will need to press the vinyl into the opening. I have also heard that a window screen replacement tool works well for this.

  • Does the AGM Bright Way Deep Cycle RV or Marine Battery Need Vented
  • The Bright Way Deep Cycle RV or Marine Battery part # BRW94FR is sealed as with all AGM's so it does not need to be vented. In regards to charging, some chargers will charge multiple batteries types like lead acid, AGM, lithium but not all so you will need to make sure the charger is rated for this use specifically.

  • Trailer Connector Recommendation for 2005 Chevy Silverado Long Bed
  • I'd recommend going with the # A10-7010 10 foot long version, as my fear would be that the # A10-7007 might come up a little short in length. I've linked to an installation video for the 7-way and wiring harness that you might find helpful.

  • Will the TracRac Part # TH43002XT-608EX Work with an Access Tonneau Cover on a 2013 Chevy Silverado
  • Yes, the TracRac SR Sliding Truck Bed Ladder Rack part # TH43002XT-608EX should work with any of the Access tonneau covers we have listed as a confirmed fit for your 2013 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 but we had not had a chance to test this yet. All of the Access tonneau covers we have listed for your vehicle attach to the inside of the bed rail whereas the TracRac SR attaches to the top of the bed rail hence their potential compatibility. I have included a review video of the TracRac SR for you.
