Expert Answers about Chevrolet Silverado 3500
- Should B&W Companion for 2019 Chevy Silverado 3500 Have Gap Between Jaws
- I believe you are referring to another question about the 1/4" gap between the jaws of the Reese 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Square Tube Slider # RP30051, which is somewhat normal. The B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Hitch w/ Slider # BWRVK3770 that fits your 2019 Chevy Silverado 3500 will not have the same type of gap, as this is a much, much, much better hitch.
It may have a very slight gap, but it would be one that you would be able to put a piece of paper through and not much more, which...

- When it comes to the 3,000-pound capacity of the RoadActive Suspension Leaf Spring Enhancement Kit - HD # RAS3611-CHD, it is important to note that this kit is not designed to increase your available weight capacity on your 2020 Silverado 3500HD with a 3,700 pound cargo capacity. With that being said, the kit will definitely provide the benefits of reducing sag, reducing dangerous sway, and improving overall control. The added support of the # RAS3611-CHD with the 3,400 pound vertical weight...

- The mesh center on the Covercraft spacer mesh covers is designed to be highly breathable. These would work great with the air conditioned seats as it will allow more air to pass thru the cover. That being said, we do not carry the spacer mesh covers here at etrailer. We offer the Covercraft seat savers # SSC2516CAGY which are made of a breathable poly/cotton weave. These will also work well with air conditioned seats.

- I reached out to Putco for you who told me that yes, the Putco Optic 360 High Power LED Fog Lamp Bulbs # P250001W that fit your 2019 Chevy Silverado 3500 are DOT compliant.
Additionally they have a 360 degree lamp angle and a cool white color, so you won't get people flashing their headlights at you, you'll just be more visible, in a good way. I have added a link to a video review for you to check out as well.
view full answer... - Valve Extenders For Chevy Dually Truck
- There isn't a specific fit for your Chevy 3500 dually, as valve extenders are generally universal. The right one depends on how your wheels are configured, and for one that uses brackets that mount to rear wheels with wheel liners there is the Wheel Masters 2-Hose Inflation Kit - Up to 22" Inner Dually - Hub Mount # WM8002.
Or if your truck does not have wheel covers or liners there is the Wheel Masters 2-Hose Inflation Kit - 16" to 19-1/2" Inner Dually - Hand Hole Mount # WM8009. This...
view full answer... - Can Westin HDX Grille Guard Be Moved From 2008 GMC Sierra to 2019 Chevy Silverado
- Unfortunately, not only are the brackets vehicle specific, the grille guards themselves are vehicle specific as well. If you were to use the # 57-378PK brackets for a 2019 Chevy Silverado, there's no guarantee they'd be compatible with your existing grille guard.
Your best bet would be to go with parts that are known to be compatible with your truck, such as the Westin HDX Grille Guard # 57-3785 in black powder coat or # 57-3780 for polished stainless.

- What you can do to keep the Rock Tamers Heavy-Duty, Adjustable Mud Flap System for 2" Hitches # ERT00108 from loosening up - along with torquing to spec - is apply some Loctite Blue Stick Threadlocker # LT37614.
The Loctite Blue # LT37614 will help secure the bolts and keep them from loosening, but won't permanently affix them so the bolts will still be removable if need be. Just keep in mind it takes a full 24 hours for the Loctite to fully set.

- The 19x47 Curt Cargo Carrier part # C18110 weighs 30 lbs while empty. This is actually a great choice for the back of a 5th wheel as it has a fixed shank so it is approved for this use whereas others with a folding shank are not.
I have attached a review video for you as well.

- I haven't personally heard of that problem wit the Curt # C24FR and the factory pucks on the 2021 Chevrolet Silverado 3500.
That being said, I recommend the B&W Companion # BWRVK3715 for its dual jaw, that provides excellent jaw-to-kingpin contact, it's easy release latch handle, and its improved cab clearance achieved with 2" front to back adjustment. The Companion also has a taller max setting, giving you more hitch height.
I also recommend adding a 7 way to the bed of your truck to...
view full answer... - 7,000 lb 12 Inch Electric Trailer Brakes Only Reading 7 Amps
- It's rare, but possible the brand new magnets are all bad. Assuming you have tandem axles and a total of four 7,000 lb, 12 inch electric trailer brakes, you should be getting 15.0-16.3 amps at 12-13 volts. It is more likely the magnet's ground wire is weak; it's really important to have the ground attached to a clean bare metal surface - no paint, dirt, etc.
A bad ground can cause the circuit to be incomplete and cause the low amperage. Otherwise, if the magnets are indeed bad you can...

- The Demco Hijacker Autoslide # DM8550034 works the same in reverse as it would if you were turning while moving forward.

view full answer... - What Should Clearance Be From Bed Rails to Fifth Wheel
- The 4,400 lb tandem axles you have are supporting a very similar weight and trying to get these to support exactly the same weight consistently would be pretty tedious and not particularly beneficial. The 220 lb difference is perfectly fine so I would concentrate on making sure you tow as level as possible, which is going to be the best thing for you to for even suspension wear.
If you take a look at the accompanying photo you can see that you need 5" to 6" for clearance from bed rails...

- The TorkLift Custom Frame-Mounted Camper Tie-Downs Front # TL44FR is the TorkLift part number C2226. The Rear # TL84FR is the TorkLift part number C3222. These are the correct parts for your 2023 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 Long Bed Dually with the factory receiver and no steps/running boards under the bed.
I recommend using the TorkLift Locking FastGun Turnbuckles # TLS9529-2-LK to secure your slide in camper on your Silverado. These have a stainless steel construction with black powder...
view full answer... - Will Curt Converter Allow Hazard Lights to Work
- Assuming your truck has combined turn/brake lights, to separate out the hazards, you will not need anything else but the converter you asked about, the Curt 2 to 3 Wire Tail Light Converter # C56196.
The reason for that is the hazards are on the same circuit as the turn signals. So when you turn on the hazards on your truck, the hazards will also turn on.

view full answer... - 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...
