  • Will The Hopkins Wiring Harness HM11141215 Fit My 1993 Chevy S-10 Blazer?
  • I do have a potential solution for you, but the Hopkins Wiring Harness # HM11141215 will not fit your S-10 Blazer. This will fit S-10 pickup models only. For your S-10 Blazer I do not have any plug and play options available. Curt does make a universal splice-in kit # C58044 that we have confirmed to fit your vehicle. You would simply use the included quick splice connectors to tie in to the vehicles brake and turn signal wires. I have linked an install video below for you to take a look at.

  • Should You Measure For a Ball Mount When The Truck and Trailer Are Loaded or Unloaded?
  • I prefer to measure for a ball mount with the truck unloaded. I do this so when you add gear to the truck it would lower the front of the trailer slightly which raises the back. This is a much safer towing position than if you were to tow with the front of the trailer slightly higher than the rear. I recommend considering an adjustable ball mount like the B&W Tow & Stow # BWTS10037B. As I do see you have a Chevrolet truck we do also have the B&W Tow & Stow 2-Ball Mount # BW44FR which is...

  • Recommended Maxxfan Rain Cover
  • To add a rain cover to the MaxxAir MaxxFan Mini Roof Vent w/ 12V Fan item # MA00-04301M, you will want the MaxxAir FanMate RV and Trailer Roof Vent Cover Smoke item # MA00-955003 or item White # MA00-955001. The integrated mounting brackets on the FanMate line up with the mounting tabs that are molded onto the flange of the roof vent.

  • Trailer Hitch Comparisons and Recommendation for a 2012 Chevy Impala
  • Hidden Hitch and Draw Tite are both made by the same company so basically they are the exact same with the exception that the Hidden Hitch part # 90137 (no longer available) comes with a ball mount and a pin and clip and the Draw Tite part # 36407 does not come with this. Curt is it's own company so the part # C12252 would be similar but made by a different company. The biggest disadvantage to Curt is the requirement of a stabilizer strap like part # 18050 when used with a non-supported...

  • Tire Chains for 2013 Chevrolet Suburban
  • Since the owner's manual says to not use tire chains with the 275/55R20 size tires, I cannot make a recommendation against the owner's manual. The manual states that there is not enough clearance to allow for the use of tire chains and that another form of traction device should be used. Since chains are not recommended, we have not tested them on that specific vehicle to know if the chains interfere with another component. If you decide to use tire chains in order to comply with local...

  • Would the Reese Fifth Wheel Hitch and Rail Kit 30120 fit a 2008 Chevy Silverado 2500HD
  • The hitch you referenced is our part number # RP30928 which is an M5 Series 20k hitch on a set of universal install rails. This would fit your 2008 Chevy Silverado 2500HD long bed just fine. I attached a set of install instructions for the rails that detail how it would install in your vehicle.

  • Fifth Wheel Hitch Rail Recommendation for a 2015 Chevy Silverado 2500 Short Bed
  • The Pullrite SuperGlide 2700 will fit the industry standard fifth wheel rails like what we sell for your 2015 Chevy Silverado 2500. I would recommend a custom install kit like the part # RP50066-58 as this kit has been confirmed as a fit for your vehicle, will install in about half the time as a universal kit and will minimize drilling. Instead of the Pullrite you may be interested in the Demco Hijacker part # DM8550034 which will also fit these rails. This is an auto slide hitch similar...

  • Timbren Rear Axle Helper Springs for a 2012 Chevy Express Van 3500 Cutaway Chassis
  • Timbren springs # TGMRG30PL fit the 2012 Chevy Express Van 3500 chassis like yours as long as the factory bump stop has a curved bracket. If the van chassis has a straight factory bump stop then I recommend # TGMRG30 which is rated for 3,600 pounds which is still more than enough for this application. The springs will help prevent the van from sagging at the back and reduce that side to side body roll feeling when turning. I have included links to the installation instructions for both...

  • Measuring to Find Ball Mount with Right Amount of Rise to Tow Trailer Level with 2000 Chevy Astro
  • You just need a ball mount with the proper amount of rise to tow the trailer level. There are ball mounts with all different rises and drops available. I have included a link that explains how to measure for rise/drop. Then it is just a matter of looking through our selections of ball mounts, see link, to get one with the closest amount of rise needed. There are a couple of other things to consider such as the receiver opening size on the hitch. The hitches available for your 2000 Chevy...

  • How to Troubleshoot a Brake Controller that only Engages with the Manual Lever
  • There are a few possible issues that could be causing the brake controller not to engage on your 2002 Chevy Silverado. First, I would check to make sure that your stop light wire from the brake controller, usually the red wire, is connected to the correct wire coming off your brake pedal. Go to the point at which your stop light wire is connected, and test the wire with a circuit tester, # PTW2993 if needed. You should receive a signal when the brake pedal is pressed and should not...

  • Is Demco 5th Wheel Rail Adapter DM6194 for Chevy OEM 5th Wheel Prep Package for Short Beds Only
  • Yes, the Demco 5th Wheel Rail Adapter for Chevy/GMC OEM 5th Wheel Towing Prep Package - 21,000 lbs Item # DM6194 is for short bed trucks and will not fit the long bed version of the 2017 Chevy Silverado 3500. The prep package puck spacing is different between the short and long bed versions. There isn't an adapter for the long bed versions but there are numerous 5th wheel trailer hitches that fit directly in the factory prep package on the 2017 Silverado long beds, see link below. The...

  • How Long Will It Take Me To Install Base Plates, Wiring and Air Force One Braking System
  • It's tough to ballpark the installation time on all of these since it's going to vary by your mechanical and electrical experience and depend on anything that may go wrong along the way. The installation of the Blue Ox Base Plate # BO94FR and Blue Ox Tow Bar Wiring Kit # BX8848 is likely going to take between 3-4 hours for experienced installers; for those who are doing this for the first time it's likely going to take you twice that. When it comes to installation of the Demco SBS Air...

  • Does Torklift StableLoad and RoadActive Suspension System for 2018 Chevy Silverado Do Same Thing
  • The TorkLift StableLoad Suspension Upgrade # TLA7310S that you referenced basically allows the overload springs of the vehicle suspension to engage sooner to gain additional suspension support whereas the RoadActive Suspension kit # RAS4611 basically is like adding an additional leaf spring to the setup. They both provide additional support so in a way they perform the same function but they do it in a different way. I would not recommend both at the same time though as that would be overkill....

  • Single Axle Hanger Spacing for Leaf Spring SP-222275
  • The correct hanger spacing is 24-3/8 inches apart on a single axle for the 6-Leaf Double-Eye Spring for 5,300 lb Trailer Axles # SP-222275. I have added a link to a video review for you to check out as well.

  • How Does Brake Controller Install in 2012 Chevy Colorado with Factory 7-Way
  • All you need to install the Prodigy P2 brake controller part # 90885 is the controller itself for your 2012 Chevy Colorado since your truck has the factory 7-way. There's a bundle of wires under the dash of the truck that this controller wires to. If you check out the install video I attached you can see exactly how this controller installs on a Colorado similar to yours.

  • Does the Thule TracRac SR Work on a 2020 Chevy Silverado 1500?
  • Yes. The Thule TracRac SR Sliding Ladder Rack is a confirmed fit on all bed lengths of the 2020 Chevy Silverado 1500. The beauty of the TracRac is that it doesn't require any drilling to install it; the tracks mount directly into the stake pockets on your truck bed rails- so the installation is really quite easy. The one thing to note during installation for the 2020 Chevy Silverado is that you'll need to use the included adapter for the rear stake pocket as shown in the attached instructions-...
