Expert Answers about Chevrolet Silverado 2500


  • Is There A 7-Way RV Style Connector With Pig Tails That Is 6' In Length
  • I do have something that will work for you. The Mighty Cord 7-Way RV-Style Trailer Connector w/ Molded Cable - Trailer End - 6' Long, part # A10-7W6, is the same style 7-way cord as the Hopkins 7-Way RV Style Connector w/ Molded Cable and LED Test Lights - Trailer End - 8' Long, part # HM20087, you attached to your question. The main difference, besides length, is the Mighty Cord does not have any LED test lights. Unfortunately, we do not have a Hopkins option that is shorter than 8'....

  • Comparing the Demco 5th Wheel Adapter to the Curt 5th Wheel Hitch Adapter for Chevy/GMC Tow Package
  • The Demco 5th Wheel Rail Adapter for Chevy/GMC OEM 5th Wheel Towing Prep Package - 6-1/2' Bed - 21K # DM6194 will have 4 corners that drop into your pucks and the center post will fit into your gooseneck hitch location. The center post has a lever to lock the adapter into place and then a thumb screw tightens that down to secure it. The 5th wheel hitch will fit right over this adapter to make it more secure. I've attached a video to help. That 5th point of connection is the biggest...

  • Comparing SuperSprings Custom Suspension Stabilizers for 2016 Chevy Silverado 2500
  • I recommend the SuperSprings Custom Suspension Stabilizer and Sway Control Kit part # SSA13MXKT for a 2016 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 which is rated at 3,000 lbs over part # SSA16MXKT which is rated for 1,650 lbs. The reason being, the heavier trailers; larger gooseneck, fifth wheel, and in-bed campers will see greater benefits from the higher capacity whereas smaller bumper pull trailer will see benefits from the lower capacity.

  • Is Demco Slider Hitch DM79GV The Correct Fit for a Short Bed 2021 Chevy Silverado 2500 Puck System
  • The Demco Autoslide 5th Wheel Hitch w/ Slider # DM79GV on our site is the exact same thing as the Demco part 8550061 you're referencing and it will fit the puck system on your 2021 Chevy Silverado 2500 short bed perfectly. Since we carry a wide variety of vendors we have to mix up the part numbers so that they are all unique since different companies will sometimes have the same part numbers.

  • Comparing B&W Companion 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch BWRVK3400-5W and BWRVK3400
  • There is no difference between the B&W Companion 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # BWRVK3400-5W and part # BWRVK3400, they are the exact same hitch but we use slightly different numbers for fit guide purposes. They will both work great with the B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch part # BWGNRK1020.

  • What is the Difference Between the Demco 6194 and Demco 6333 OEM Puck Adapter
  • You will want to use the Demco # DM6333, which has been confirmed to fit in the 2021 Chevy Silverado 2500 short bed with the OEM prep package. The Demco # DM6194 has been confirmed for use on Chevy/GMC short bed trucks with the prep package, but it is not compatible with the puck system in the 2021 short beds. The difference is just that the # DM6333 is designed to fit the newer OEM puck packages, where the # DM6194 is designed for a bit older trucks. This adapter can be used with your...

  • Comparing the Reese 5th Wheel Quick Install Base Rails # RP56001-53 and # RP50066-58
  • Yes, the Reese Quick Install Base Rails, parts # RP56001-53 and # RP50066-58, are essentially the same. They both use existing holes in your 2017 Chevrolet Silverado 2500's frame. The only difference is that the # RP56001-53 kit does have the slightly bigger base rails which will move the mounting points to outside part of the frame for easier installation. I have attached some installation videos for you to review as well.

  • Difference Between Curt Double Lock and EZr Double Lock Gooseneck Hitch for 2017 Silverado 2500
  • Both gooseneck hitches are the same, but the # C611-624 (which is the C60680 kit) that includes the vehicle specific mounting rails also includes the center locater kit that makes drilling the hole in the bed for the gooseneck ball much easier. The C60710 which we sell as part # C607-604 doesn't included the center locater kit. The # C607-604 weighs right at 100 lbs, and the # C611-624 weighs in right at 110 lbs. Other than that, the hitches are identical. I've linked to some installation...

  • Comparing Maintenance Free Jounce Springs Versus Air Bag Helper Springs For 2015 Silverado 2500
  • The Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate Air Helper Springs # AL88338 are going to be far superior to the Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System # TGMRCK25D for your 2015 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 crew cab short bed. I personally only ever recommend the Timbren option to those who are always hauling heavy loads and want maintenance free. This is due to the springs being very stiff and when you drive without a load it makes the ride very firm. If you prefer a maintenance free option the...

  • Which Demco 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Set-Up is Shortest Height in the 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 2500
  • Since you are already using the Demco Recon 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch, # DM8550043 with above bed rails you know this height measurement for comparison. Using the Demco 5th Wheel Rail Adapter for Chevy/GMC OEM 5th Wheel Towing Prep Package, # DM6333 instead of the above bed rails sets the mounting point of the Demco Recon 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch, # DM8550043 at about 2-1/4" above the bed. Sometimes the seating of the Rail Adapter will vary within the puck system, but this is a negligible...

  • RoadActive Suspension Over Sumo Springs for a 2018 Chevy Silverado 2500
  • For your 2018 Chevy Silverado 2500 I would go with the RoadActive Suspension Custom Leaf Spring Enhancement Kit - Heavy Duty item # RAS3611-HD over Sumo Springs. The RAS system has a 3,000 lbs weight capacity that will level out your rear end. The best part about the RAS system is that it can be disengaged when you're not towing, allowing your leaf springs to perform as intended. Sumo Springs do not have this feature and can often times provide a stiff ride when you are not towing.

  • In order to use the B&W Companion Gooseneck-to-5th-Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter part # BWRVK3500 on a 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 without OEM Prep Pkg you'll need the B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch part # BWGNRK1016. In order to use the B&W Patriot 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # BWRVK3255 on a 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 without OEM Prep Pkg you'll need the B&W Universal Base Rails and Installation Kit for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches part # BWRVR3200.

  • Comparing Timbren TGMRCK25D or TGMRTT35D Rear Axle Jounce Springs for 2015 Silverado 2500
  • Timbren rear-axle jounce spring kit # TGMRTT35D is intended for severe service vehicles such as tow trucks so for your towing/cargo application you will use kit # TGMRCK25D. This no-drill install is suitable for heavy-duty trucks like your 2500 whether or not it has factory top overload springs. Installation instructions and a video are linked for your reference.

  • Comparing Blue and Yellow Road Armor Shock Absorbing Equalizer Kit
  • In regards to the Road Armor Shock Absorbing Equalizer Kits like part # LC696740, the only difference between the blue powder coated option and yellow powder coated option is that yellow denotes aftermarket and blue denotes factory. In other words, if the equalizers are blue then that means they came from the factory whereas if they are yellow they were installed after the fact.

  • The Reese Quick-Install Custom Outboard Installation Kit w/ Base Rails # RP84FR contains the Reese Quick-Install Custom Outboard Brackets # RP57FR and Rail Kit # RP30153. The mounting brackets are multiple pieces and do not require drilling to install on your 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD. Do note that certain trucks have threaded inserts in the frame you will need additional hardware from your local Chevrolet dealer(See install instructions below). If you prefer a one piece mounting...

  • Difference Between Timbren Jounce Springs for 2021 Chevrolet Silverado 2500
  • The differences between the Timbren Jounce Springs for your 2021 Chevy Silverado 2500 are listed below: 8,000 lb. capacity Front- Timbren Front Suspension Enhancement System # TGMFK25D (standard duty) Rear- Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System # TGMRTT35D (This 8,000 lb. rear set is a Severe Service kit and should only be used on vehicles with a slide-in camper, salt spreader, or those with a mounted crane or other aerial device, such as on a tow truck.)

  • Choosing Between Available Gooseneck Hitch Balls Available for 2022 Chevy 2500 With Tow Prep Package
  • I'd be glad to help with that. The Curt # C60692 and # C38CR are very similar, with the difference between the two being the capacity of the gooseneck ball. The # C38CR has a ball rated at up to 38K, while the # C60692 is rated for up to 30K. Both gooseneck balls are installed and removed using the latch located atop the ball. The B&W # BWGNXA2061 is rated for 30K and uses a different latch setup. The latch is engaged using a handle that sits lower down on the ball. Both the Curt and...

  • Comparing Hijacker and SuperGlide Autosliders for 2020 GM 2500 Short Bed with Puck System
  • While you are correct that there are other autosliding 5th wheel hitch options out there, we currently (December of 2019) only carry the Demco Hijacker solution for a 2020 GMC Sierra 2500 with the factory prep package and this includes the Rail Adapter Kit # DM6333 along with either the 18K # DM8550034 or the 21K # DM8550035 Hijacker. I know you mentioned the PullRite SuperGlide and while that is a viable option that does a great job, the Hijacker actually has more to offer. The Hijacker...

  • Comparing B and W Companion 5th Wheel Hitches for 2020 Chevy Silverado 2500 Long Bed with OEM Rails
  • I'd recommend the 20k B and W Companion hitch part # BWRVK3710 as it has quite a bit more capacity than you'd need and would give you the best fifth wheel hitch on the market. The 25k version part # BWRVK3715 would also perform just as well but since it has more capacity than you'd need and also because of that costs more I don't feel like it's your best value. I'd only go this route if you had plans to upgrade to a heavier 5th wheel at some point.

  • How to Get Better Clearance from your Gooseneck Trailer with a B&W Ball and Coupler
  • We have a solution for your 2015 Chevrolet Silverado 2500. If you're not getting enough clearance with your B&W gooseneck ball, then one thing you can do is swap out the ball with the B&W 4" Offset Ball, part # BWGNXA4085. This is perfectly compatible with the B&W Turnoverball gooseneck trailer hitches and will give you an additional 4 inches in the back. This may not sound like much, but many times that's all that is needed to ensure everything is clearing correctly. I've linked to a...
