  • Does MORryde StepAbove 2-Step Have Option With Backplates
  • So there is not an option for a backplate/backsplash with the MORryde StepAbove RV Steps for 21-3/4" to 22-1/4" Wide Doorways - 2 Steps # MR86RR. This was a design choice, however, much like the removable pins; the reason for that is to make it simpler to clean the steps. With steps that have the backplates, cleaning them and sweeping off the dirt that inevitably gets on them is a pain because you can't just sweep it off the back of the step, so dirt tends to linger. That isn't the case...

  • Is the Running Lamp or Brake/Turn Signal Filament in 1157 Bulb Supposed to Be Brighter
  • As far as what position they occupy in the bulb, I couldn't say. Dual filament bulbs like the # DI79VR have two different filaments. One filament is of a different resistance value, and thus makes a brighter light. but the brake and turn signal filament would be the brighter of the two. From what you describe, it certainly sounds as if you have the brake/turn signal and running lamp wire reversed.

  • Color of Buyers Products LED Dome Light
  • I reached out to the manufacturer, Buyers Products, and they did not have the Kelvins of the Buyers Products LED Dome Light # 3375625336 as one of their specs. Having said that, based on what the light looks like when powered on - as you can see in the linked video review - it is a pretty clear light so a best guess is somewhere in the 4,000 Kelvins range. This light is 5" in diameter, has 36 diodes, and is designed to work with a 12 volt power source.

  • Does Curt Rebellion XD Ball Mount C83WR Work With Anti-Rattle
  • We do not actually do any tests of the Curt Rebellion XD Shock Absorbing Adjustable Ball Mount w/ 2" and 2-5/16" Balls - 15K # C83WR because we do not manufacture the item, it is simply a product we offer for sale. As for your other questions, the core is made of polyurethane; there is not a specific amount of time it is expected to last; and it will do just as well in cold weather as it does warm weather. In regard to the anit-rattle # e99007, it can be used but is not at all necessary...

  • Average MPG Gains with Edge Evolution CS2 Tuner on 2003 Chevy Avalanche with 5.3L Engine
  • Edge provides average HP and Torque increases that are attainable, but due to the fact that there are many variables that will effect the realized fuel economy such as vehicle condition, weather, altitude and driving style, Edge cannot provide anything guaranteed in the way of mpg improvement numbers. However, my Edge has told me that through testing and consumer feedback, they find a 1-2 mpg improvement is typical. I've linked you to an FAQ article about vehicle programmers/tuners that...

  • Local Regulations Regarding Tire Chain Usage
  • Laws regarding the use of tire chains vary greatly from state to state, and even from area to area within a particular state. If road conditions warrant it, many states will use highway signage stating that any vehicle that passes that particular point must be equipped with tire chains. I would recommend contacting the state DOT or State Police in the area in question for more specific information. The Thule XB16 Snow Chains you were looking at, part # TH01571245, would be a great choice...

  • How Does EZ-Lube Spindle Grease Hub Components
  • The EZ-Lube spindles have a hole in the spindle so that it fills the hub components from the back of the inner bearing. This forces air out of the hub area and will disburse the grease toward the outside of the hub on the grease fitting side. I have attached a photo of an EZ-Lube spindle that shows the hole where the grease exits.

  • What Does Clearance Refer To When Selecting Snow Tire Chains
  • Clearance refers to the clearance from the top and sides of the tires to the fender wells on your vehicle. You want to make sure there is plenty of room between the tires and the suspension components and body of the truck. Usually there is plenty of clearance on trucks, but you will want to check your vehicle owners manual to see if tire chains are allowed to be used or recommended for your Chevrolet C/K Series Truck. If your truck is lowered or has modified suspension or wheels, clearance...

  • Recommend DeeZee Underbody Toolbox That Has Dual Support Cables and Latches In 3 Places
  • I contacted our representative at DeeZee about the Specialty Series Underbody Toolbox, part # DZ75. He informed me that it does open 90 degrees and has chain supports on each end not cables. Part # DZ75, only latches in 1 place and has 1 handle. The representative did inform me that they do have a Underbody Toolbox that meets your requirements, DeeZee Specialty Series Underbody Toolbox, part # DZDB-2602, except the outside is steel and has a black powder coat paint finish. Part # DZDB-2602...

  • How Long Will A Fifth Wheel Lube Plate Last
  • Depending on a few things combined will determine how long a lube plate will last for you. A heavy pin weight will cause degradation to happen faster. If you spend more time on dirt roads or in dirty/dusty environments this will all get on the lube plate and the weight of the pin will grind it down. As long as you are not taking it into dirty areas and are super hard on it, you can expect a lube plate to last about six to eight months. Some people get more time out of them others get...

  • Do Punch Plates Cause Cooling Issues for a Transmission
  • Punch plates on grille guards like the Westin HDX Grille Guard with Punch Plate, part # 57-1915, have more of a mesh style to them. This allows more airflow than a solid surface. Of course, you will still need to monitor your transmission and engine. If you notice that your transmission is getting too hot (probably if you have an older one), then you can use one of our transmission coolers. I've linked to a list of our coolers that are compatible with your 2004 Chevrolet Silverado. If...

  • Will the RoadActive Suspension RAS54FR Lift the Back of the Vehicle Once Installed?
  • I spoke to a tech over at RoadActive Suspension and the # RAS54FR can lift the back of the truck up a little once installed. He did mention that it shouldn't really be noticeable and at most will be about an inch once completed especially on a new vehicle. It can be more if the suspension is getting a bit worn out, however.

  • Does the Cross Bar on the Malone Pilot Trailer Bike Rack Have a Bend in it
  • Looking at the pictures on our product page, I believe what you are talking about is the crossbar having a bend (curve) to it, not the tray (cradle). If that is correct then the Malone Pilot Trailer Bike Rack # MPG2100 does have a bend (curve) in the crossbar. I was able to go out to our warehouse and confirm this. I have included a picture I took of the rack in the warehouse showing the bend (curve). The cradles for the wheels on the bike rack also have a curve to them.

  • Does The Fastway WD System # EQ91-00-6100 Use Grip Tape Between The Bars And Brackets?
  • The Fastway e2 round bar system # FA94-00-0800 uses steel on steel friction. When The L brackets are manufactured, they do sand a small section of the paint so it is not smooth. You can see the small sanded portion in the picture below. There should not be any kind of grip tape between the bars and the brackets. The steel on steel friction by itself is enough.

  • Can a 2017 Chevy Sonic RS Be Flat Towed
  • What I think you are asking is if your 2017 Chevrolet Sonic with RS trim is able to be flat towed. We always suggest that you refer to your vehicle specific owners manual for most accurate information as the OEM should be final authority on vehicle specs. However, from the information available to me, it does not appear that the RS trim package equipped models can be safely flat towed. If your vehicle specific owners manual does state that your 2017 Chevrolet Sonic can be flat towed,...

  • Are There Replacement Brackets For DM8551010
  • The brackets and hardware are not available as separate purchases, so you would need to get the full kit, which is the Underbed Rail and Installation Kit for Demco Hijacker UMS 5th Wheel and Gooseneck Trailer Hitches # DM8551010. I have added a link below to a video install for you to check out as well if you'd like to take a look.
