Expert Answers about GMC Sierra


  • Can a Tailgate EasyLift # 74211 and a Tailgate Assist # DZ43100 Be Installed at the Same Time
  • You would want to use one or the other. You would not want to install both the # DZ43100 and the # 74211 on the same tailgate. The lowering assist # DZ43100 is designed for the full weight of a full size tailgate, so if you had a # 74211 installed on the tailgate as well you would have to pull down on the tailgate as it would not have enough weight to overcome the shock assembly of the # DZ43100. If I were you I would go with the # 74211 since it will make lowering and raising easier.

  • Is the Reese Universal Fifth Wheel Rail Kit Compatible with 16K Reese Quick Slide Fifth Wheel Hitch
  • That universal install kit will work just fine with your hitch and your vehicle. You can also use a set of custom fit brackets, part # RP50064, to replace the universal brackets and reduce your install time.

  • Can I Use the Curt Weight Distribution Shank with an Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System
  • Yes. The holes on the Curt Welded Weight Distribution Shank 7" - 10 Hole Adjustment # C17123 are spaced the standard 1-1/4" apart (center on center), so you can use this shank with an Equal-i-zer weight distribution hitch.

  • Easiest Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver For a 2003 GMC Sierra 1500 SLT
  • I recommend the Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver # 31302 for your 2003 GMC Sierra 1500 SLT extended cab with the 6.5' bed. This is our easiest front receiver to install as the frame mounting brackets are separate from the receiver cross tube. I have linked an installation video below for you to see where the brackets mount. I like using the WeatherTech BumpStepXL Hitch-Mounted Bumper Protector and Step # WT81BS1XL with the front mounted receiver as it makes it much easier when I...

  • How to Determine Correct Rise or Drop for Equal-i-zer 10,000 lb Weight Distribution System
  • I have options which are going to allow you to use the Equal-i-zer weight distribution system, and I can tell you precisely how to figure out the answer to your question, although (and I'll explain why) there is no way for me to know if the shank with the 3" drop/7" rise that comes with the 10,000 lb/1,000 lb tongue weight Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System # EQ37100ET will work on your 2005 GMC Duramax. What I can say is that it is highly unlikely. The reason is, the correct amount...

  • Extended Mirrors for 2013 GMC Sierra Power Adjustment Only
  • Yes, the K-Source Custom Extendable Towing Mirrors - Electric/Heat w LED Signal # KS62093-94G will work with your 2013 GMC Sierra that doesn't have the heated mirror or signal option. Some customers have choose to run a auxiliary wire to operate the turn signal feature as well. Please note that if you use the mirror curb assist feature when backing up that feature will no longer work. You will benefit greatly by using a Trim Panel Tool # ALL648544 as there are a lot of retention fasteners...

  • Recommended Air Bag Kit for a 2004 GMC Sierra 1500
  • For a 2004 GMC Sierra 1500, I recommend the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs item # AL88250. This system is custom fit for your Sierra and bolts in with included hardware. It has a 5,000 lbs load leveling capacity. The Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 item # AL88250 fits both the HD and LD models. To operate the airbags from inside the vehicle, I recommend using an air compressor kit like the Firestone Air Command I item # F2097. This kit comes with an air compressor, single path...

  • Will Tekonsha # 3015-P Fit A 2005 GMC Sierra Z71
  • If your 2005 GMC Sierra Z71 is equipped with a factory 7-way, the part # 3015-P would be the harness you need to connect your brake controller. I have attached some links to videos and a helpful article about the harness and brake controllers. If you do not have the factory 7-way plug on your Sierra, I recommend a universal wiring kit like part # ETBC7. I have attached a product review video and an installation video for this kit.

  • Can a Front Mount Trailer Hitch and Westin Bull Bar be Installed Together on a 2009 GMC Sierra 1500
  • The issue is that bull bars, grille guards, base plates, and front mount trailer hitches all attach to basically the same place on the vehicle frame and/or occupy much of the same space in front of the vehicle. What this means is you could have one at a time only. But that might not be the case on your 2009 GMC Sierra 1500. Looking at the instructions for the Westin Bull Bars it appears that mount to the insides of the frame rails like # 32-2275 as an example. Draw-Tite front mount hitch...

  • Does Installing New Trailer Brake Assemblies Require New Drums At Same Time
  • When installing brake assemblies like the # AKEBRK-8L and # AKEBRK-8R it is not required that you also replace the drums at the same time. As long as they are in good shape still and the thickness is good like you mentioned measuring with your caliper you're totally fine.

  • Will Slip-On Towing Mirrors Fit a 2005 GMC Sierra with Power Telescoping Non-Heated Side Mirrors
  • Take a look at the picture I included. The K-Source mirrors # KS80800 and other slip-on mirrors for the 2005 GMC Sierra will fit stock side mirrors that look like the one in the picture (your mirrors may or may not have chrome). If your mirrors do not look like the one in the picture or the ones in the video I have linked then none of the slip-on mirrors will work. In that situation I recommend the door mount mirror # 11650 for the best visibility. I have linked a video of this mirror for you.

  • Recommended Towing Mirrors for 2009 GMC Sierra 2500
  • The available custom-fit towing mirrors for your 2009 GMC Sierra 2500 can be seen on the linked page. If you have mirrors that look like either of those in the linked photo you can instead use CIPA mirror set # CM10900. The Longview Custom Towing Mirror Set # LVT-1800 fits 2014 and later model years of the GMC Sierra and Chevrolet Silverado but does not fit your 2009 GMC Sierra 2500.

  • Class V Trailer Hitch Receiver for 2004 GMC Sierra 2500 LD
  • There are heavy-duty Class V trailer hitch receivers that fit your 2004 GMC Sierra 2500 LD, though the hitch you mentioned is only a fit for the 2500HD model. You need to have the standard factory bumper on your truck, and if you do, then there are two Class V hitches that fit: - B&W Heavy-Duty Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class V - 2" # BWHDRH25217 - Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class V XD - 2" # C15323 I've added links to the instructions and install videos for...

  • Yes, the Reese 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # RP30084 will work to replace the Pro-Series 15k Slider 5th Wheel Hitch on a 2012 GMC Sierra using your existing above bed rails. The hitch head height is adjustable from 14"-18" so you shouldn't have any issues.

  • Will Reese 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Cover Fit a 16K 5th Wheel Slider Trailer Hitch
  • The Reese 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Cover, # RP30055, will fit a 15k hitch and a 20k hitch, so there should not be any fit issue with a 16k hitch. To verify, you can take some measurements and compare them to the cover which measures 18 inches long and 28 inches across. The cover is designed to cover the hitch head and not necessarily the base or legs. Take a look at the third and fourth pictures on the product page.
