  • Recommended Trunk-Mount 2-Bike Rack for Use on 2001 Oldsmobile Alero with Spoiler
  • For the 2001 Oldsmobile Alero the Yakima SuperJoe Pro 2 Bike Rack Y02629 is a confirmed fit for the 2-door version according to Yakima. However, since your car has rear spoiler there is a better option from Hollywood Racks. Their Over-the-Top 2 Bike Carrier # HRF2 features a spoiler-friendly design that will place no stress on your trunk-mounted spoiler. This rack has a special frame design that avoids contact with the spoiler by extending up and over it. The two linked videos will show...

  • Trunk Mounted Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2002 Oldsmobile Alero with Rear Spoiler
  • Since your 2002 Olds Alero has a rear spoiler I recommend the Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top rack # HRF2. This rack has an additional upper arm piece that moves the top straps up and over that spoiler so no weight is put on it (since the spoiler is not meant to support weight). I have included a link to a video that shows how it works. If you will be carrying any bikes that do not have a top frame bar that goes straight across (like a typical men's bike would) then I recommend using bike...

  • Availability of a Trailer Hitch Receiver for a 2000 Oldsmobile Silhouette
  • We have several hitches that will fit your 2000 Oldsmobile Silhouette, but the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch, item # 36423, is not a match for your vehicle. I would recommend the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver Class III, item # 75278, for your Silhouette. The 2 inch Class III receiver will give you more options for towing and accessories like bike racks and cargo carriers. Items needed to complete a Class III towing setup are listed below. Wiring # C55355 Drawbar # 36061 Hitch...

  • Will the Derale 15 Inch Heavy Duty Belt Driven Fan 17215 Fit a 1973 Cutlass
  • The Derale 15" Heavy-Duty, Stainless Steel Flex Fan, Chrome Hub - Belt Driven # D17215 is designed to be a universal replacement for a variety of vehicles, so you'll just need to know the size of your current fan to determine if this will fit. As long as you've got a 15" diameter belt driven fan on your 1973 Cutlass with the 5.7L engine then this will work for you. If you find that you've got a different size belt driven fan on your Cutlass just let me know and I can help you locate an...

  • Will the Curt Hitch 13344 Fit a 2003 Oldsmobile Silhouette and What Hardware Is Needed
  • Yes, the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 13344 is a confirmed fit for your 2003 Oldsmobile Silhouette. The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver actually comes with all of the fasteners needed for installation so nothing needs to be purchased separately. If you are missing these fasteners then you can obtain them with the Replacement Hardware Kit for Trailer Hitches part # RHK. If you will be towing a trailer with your Oldsmobile Silhouette you will also need a trailer wiring harness, the Curt...

  • Can 2 Kayaks be carried Side by Side on the Roof of a 2002 Oldsmobile Silhouette w/Factory Roof Rack
  • The first thing you are going to want to do is check to see if two kayaks will fit side by side on the factory roof rack of your 2002 Oldsmobile Silhouette. On many vehicles 2 kayaks will just not fit side by side with the available space. If you determine the factory roof rack will offer enough space for 2 kayaks side by side you could use 2 sets of the Thule DockGlide system, # TH896. The cradle style carrier will minimize the amount of space used on the factory roof rack. You will...

  • How Can I Tell If The Derale 26" Dual High-Output, Electric Radiator Fan Will Work For Me
  • The Derale 26" Dual High-Output, Electric Radiator Fan-and-Shroud Assembly part # D16927 is a universal fit option. We have not had the opportunity to test fit this product on a 1986 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme therefore, I cannot confirm whether or not modifications will be needed. The dimensions of this fan assembly are 26" wide x 18" tall x 2-3/4" deep. If you have this space available behind your radiator, then this fan will work for you. It is also important to note that these fans...

  • Will Trailer Wiring Harness # 118384 Fit Vehicles Without a Factory 7-Way Trailer Connector
  • The trailer wiring harness # 118384 installs into the standard round factory connector. I've attached a couple of pictures of what it looks like. One with a cap and the other is the connector itself. If your vehicle has the round connector, then the harness will work for you. Some are equipped with the connection port even if the vehicle didn't' originally have a 7-way trailer connector. If it does not have the connector, then you can hardwire a 4-way connector on using # HM41225....

  • Can Kenda ST145R12 tire AM10140 w/12 Wheel LH45FR Replace 5.30-12 Wheel/Tire On Karavan Trailer?
  • It sure will! The Kenda Karrier S-Trail ST145/R12 Radial Trailer Tire - Load Range E # AM10140 you were looking at has an overall height of 21.3" and a width of 5.7" which is .6" shorter and .1" wider than your current 5.30-12 tires. The Aluminum Lynx Trailer Wheel - 12" x 4" Rim - 5 on 4-1/2 - Silver # LH45FR would be a great choice to go with this tire. You would need to have them mounted at a local shop upon arrival. Since you mentioned that your Karavan Bunk Trailer has the 5 on...

  • Yes the Anti-Rattle Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock for 2" Hitches - 3-1/2" Span item # 63232, is compatible with the Rola Swinging Enclosed Cargo Carrier for 2" Trailer Hitch # 59109. Not only do we have the lock listed as an item bought by other customers, but on the right hand side of the page we have it listed as a related product meaning it is meant to be used along with the item you are looking at. I have included a link below to the #63232 as well as a video demo of the Rola to give...

  • Will Thule Passage Mount Bike Carrier Fit a 2003 Oldsmobile Alero
  • The Thule passage, # TH910XT, is listed as a fit for your 2003 Oldsmobile Alero. If you will be carrying womens, childrens, or alternative frame bikes, I recommend using the Bike Adapter Bar, # TH982XT, to carry the bikes more level. I have included a link to a video demonstrating how the adapter works.

  • Is Derale 40/60-Amp Dual Relay Wiring Harness Needed for Dual Fans on 1986 Oldsmobile Cutlass
  • I'm not sure how your 1986 Oldsmobile Cutlass is setup but the Derale 40/60-Amp Dual Relay Wiring Harness for Dual Fan Assembly # D16765 that you referenced is a great option if your electric fans, including one on a remote, fan-mounted cooler, draw more than 10 amps of power. These help to protect the electrical system on your vehicle.

  • Replacement Radiator Fan For 1966 Oldsmobile 442 To Help With Overheating on Highway
  • If your existing fan rotates counter clockwise you need a reverse rotation fan. The general rule is if your vehicle has a "V" belt it is standard rotation. If your vehicle has a serpentine belt it is counter clock wise or reverse. You could use the Derale 18" Rigid, Steel-Blade Race Fan - Belt Driven part # D17418 to replace your current fan. It is the diameter of the fan and the RPM, not so much the depth that would make the difference. However, I recommend to add an electric radiator...

  • Will Trailer Hitch Fit with Full Size Spare Tire on 1999 Oldsmobile Silhouette
  • When trailer hitch manufacturers determine a hitch fit for a vehicle, the fit is determined using the stock size spare tire. We do not have any trailer hitches for your 1999 Oldsmobile Silhouette that are confirmed to fit with a full size spare tire. The hitch may still fit with the full size spare, but neither we nor the manufacturer have tested this to know if it is a fit. I spoke with my contact at Draw-Tite about the Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver Class III # 75278 and the compatibility...
