• Curt Class V Hitch Recommendation for a 2012 Chevy Silverado 1500 4x4
  The Curt Class V Hitch part # C15323 that you referenced has been confirmed by Curt to fit your 2012 Chevy Silverado 1500 4x4, crew cab, short bed truck. This hitch should work well for you. I attached installation instructions for you to check out. Most likely you have trailer wiring, but if yours is damaged you would want the Pollak 7-Way part # PK11916. I attached an install video for this product. For a ball mount, hitch ball, and pin and clip, I would recommend the etrailer Ball...

• Replacement 7-Way Recommendation for a 2015 Chevy Silverado 2500
  The Twist-in, 7-Pole, RV-Style Trailer Connector # PK11916 that you referenced has been confirmed as a fit for your 2015 Chevy Silverado 2500 so it would work well as a replacement. It will need to be mounted to the twist in 7-way port at the rear of your truck and then the connector for the 7-way behind the bumper will need to get plugged into it. I attached an install video that shows this as well.

• Trailer Hitch Recommendations for 2013 Chevy Silverado 1500, 2500, or 3500
  You did not mention if your 2013 Chevy Silverado was a 1500, 2500, or 3500 so I can provide recommendations for all 3. For a 1500 I recommend Curt trailer hitch # 14301. There is no drilling or trimming required for installation of this hitch. I have linked a video showing an example installation for you. For a 2500 or 3500 series short bed I recommend B&W hitch # BWHDRH25601. Again there is no drilling or trimming required. The version for long bed models is # BWHDRH25600 and there is...

• Does a Curt Trailer Hitch # 14301 Limit Access to the Spare Tire if Installed on 2013 Chevy 1500
  To install the Class IV Curt trailer hitch # 14301 on your 2013 Chevy 1500 you will need to temporarily remove the spare tire for accessibility to the hitch mounting locations. After installation is complete and the spare tire is re-installed you will not have any issues with accessibility or clearance around the full size spare tire when mounted in the factory location. I have included a photo of this hitch installed on a slightly older Chevy truck, and you can see that there is no interference...

• Installing the Tekonsha Prodigy P2 Brake Controller in a 2015 Cadillac Escalade
  The 2015 Cadillac Escalade was available both with and without a factory tow package. A dealership may be able to run the vehicle VIN in their computer system to see how it is equipped. If it does have the factory tow package then you would use harness # 3016 to plug in the P2 brake controller # 90885. The harness plugs into a junction box located under the dash on the driver's side, up near the fire wall above the carpeting. Take a look at the video I have linked that will help. If you...

• Where to Connect a Brake Controller in 2012 Cadillac Escalade
  Good question, and a 2012 Cadillac Escalade does not have a harness that will allow you to plug in a brake controller, but it does have the wires already run under the dash, regardless of if you have the factory 7-way or not. If you take a look at the accompanying photo you can see where the wires will be; this is a cut out from the linked installation video of the Tekonsha Primus IQ Trailer Brake Controller # TK90160. This is from a 2009 Cadillac Escalade which is the same generation as...

• How to Determine the Wire Functions to Install a 7-Way Trailer Connector on a 2004 Chevy Silverado
  The only way to know the function of a wire is to test it. I recommend using a circuit tester, # PTW2993, to test those wires. Someone will need to sit in the cab of your 2004 Silverado 2500 and activate the lights, turn signals, brakes, and other functions while you test to determine the functions. The issue is that there is no standard for wire color and function in the automotive industry, so testing is the only way to be certain.

  As long as your 2007 Chevy Silverado has a factory installed 7-Way trailer connector, the Hopkins Multi-Tow Trailer Connector Adapter, # HM47675, is compatible.

Once a 7-Way is installed you will be able to use the adapter.

• Replacement Cover for 7-Way or Replacement 7-Way Connector for a 2006 GMC Sierra
  It sounds like you are talking about the cover that flips up on the 7-Way connector. We do not have a replacement for it unless you wanted to replace the entire connector. A GM dealer may have just the cover as a replacement part. If they do not then you would need to replace the entire connector. There are a couple of options for replacing the whole assembly. You could get the GM replacement part that fits right in place of the old one. Or you could get an aftermarket one that has a mounting...

• Tow Package Recommendation for a 2008 Chevy Silverado 1500
  Sounds like you are looking for everything you would need to tow a travel trailer that weighs 4,800 lbs. First you would need to start with a hitch if you do not have one already. The Curt part # 13322 is the most popular option we offer. Since you wanted to do some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900.

• No Right Turn or Right Brake Lights at Trailer Connector on a 2009 Chevrolet Silverado
  The first thing I would do is check the tow package fuses in the power distribution box under the hood of your truck. There should be one for brake and one for turn signals. If the fuses are blown there has been a short and you should check the trailer wiring out before reconnecting the truck to the trailer. If that does not solve the issue, you should check the wiring under the back of the vehicle for possible damage. Sometimes the trailer wiring connector can become damaged, or the wiring...

• Is there a Mounting Bracket for Twist-in, 7-Pole, RV-Style Trailer Connector PK11916
  Because the Twist-in, 7-Pole, RV-Style Trailer Connector, # PK11916, is designed to fit in the cutout in the bumper of your truck, it does not have a mounting bracket specific for it. You could replace the connector with # PK11893 and use mounting bracket # PK12711U or you can try to use one of the mounting brackets in the link I have provided.

• How to Install the Tekonsha Prodigy P2 on a 2009 Chevy Avalanche
  Since manufacturers don't always stick to a specific wire color it is best to use a Circuit Tester # PTW2993 to figure out which functions on the Tekonsha Prodigy P2 # 90885 need to be connected with which wires on your 2009 Chevrolet Avalanche. I am attaching a video of this brake controller being installed on a 2013 Avalanche that you can use as a reference. If you notice in the video, the wires that we connect to the brake controller differ in color from what you said that you have. If...

• Replacement Trailer Axle For Dexter Torsion 3,500 lb Axle
  We don't carry the torsion axle replacements, but if you want the exact replacement you will want the #10 Torflex Torsion Axle. I do have a replacement option if you are interested in an alternative. You can use the Timbren Heavy-Duty Axle-Less Trailer Suspension - 2" Lift Spindle - Standard Tires - 3,500 lbs # TASR35HDS07 which uses a 2 inch square tube (not included) in the integrated holes. This mounts directly to the trailer frame and has the integrated suspension.

• TRAILER LIGHTS MALIFUNCTIONING
  The first step to every trailer wiring troubleshoot is to determine if the problem is with the trailer wiring or the vehicle's wiring. The easiest way to to this is to try the trailer with another vehicle. If the lights work fine, you've verified that the problem is with the truck. If not, the problem is on the trailer. You can also try another trailer on your vehicle to determine where the problem lies. If this isn't possible or convenient, you can use a circuit tester like # PTW2993....

• Trailer Wiring Recommendation for a 2012 Chevy Silverado
  Your 2012 Chevy Silverado should have a 7-way already at the rear of it built into the rear bumper, but if there isn't one present all you would need is the part # PK11916 which will twist into the opening to the left of your license plate and will attach to the 7-way harness that is at the rear of your vehicle under the bumper. I attached an install video for you to check out as well. This will work well with the Curt Hitch part # 13322 you plan on buying. If your trailer has brakes...
