Expert Answers about Chevrolet Silverado 3500


  • Is The HydraStar Control Adapter Module Required For A 2020 Chevrolet Silverado 3500
  • You will want The HydraStar Control Adapter Module # HBA-CAM, to use your Hydrastar # HBA-16 unit with the factory integrated brake controller on your 2020 Chevrolet Silverado 3500. The factory brake controllers on 2007 and up GM trucks are not directly compatible with electric-over-hydraulic braking systems, and will require a separate adapter like the # HBA-CAM to work properly. I attached a review video link below.

  • Parts Needed To Upgrade from a 20K B&W Companion RVK3715 to 25K On a 2022 Chevy Silverado 3500
  • You will only need to use the 25K Base # BWRVB3715 with the Head # BWRVC3006 from your 20K Companion # BWRVK3710 to use in your 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 long bed with factory in bed puck system. This combination will give you the B&W 25K Companion # BWRVK3715. You might consider getting the entire hitch as it will be much easier to sell your 20K Hitch # BWRVK3710 to offset some of the cost of the stronger 25K 5th wheel hitch.

  • Dexter EOH Disc Brake Actuator Response Time with GM Factory Brake Controller
  • EOH actuators do differ in their response time. From the moment you press the brake pedal the time needed for the pump in the EOH actuator to build hydraulic pressure and push that through your brake lines, through the T fittings, and to your disc brakes can easily be as much as 2 seconds. Longer trailer brake lines and more axles with brakes both can mean the time can be slightly longer for pressure to reach all of the calipers and for you to feel the trailer slowing down. The Dexter...

  • Recommended Underbed Gooseneck and 5th Wheel Hitch System for 2020 Chevy Silverado 3500 Short Bed
  • The factory puck system is not a standard feature that is included on trucks, and would be an option that is added on to certain trucks. If your truck does not have the pucks in the bed, then it's not going to have the components needed available. The good news is that there are underbed mounting systems that will give you the same clear truck bed as the puck system would. You can add an underbed system like the B&W Turnoverball # BWGNRK1020-5W that will put a gooseneck hitch in your...
