Expert Answers about Chevrolet Avalanche


  • Installing A Brake Controller In A 2009 Chevy Avalanche
  • At this time we do not have a install video of the Tekonsha Prodigy P2 Trailer Brake Controller # 90885 on the 2009 Chevy Avalanche. However, I do have detailed install video on the 2009 Chevrolet Silverado and the 2013 Chevrolet Avalanche linked to this article. These install processes are very similar to yours because the 2013 Avalanche is the same generations as your 2009. After mounting the P2 unit in your cab using the included pocket mount, hardwire one end of the included pigtail...

  • Are magnetic Wireless Tow Lights Submersible When Used On Boat Trailer
  • You are correct. The Roadmaster Wireless Tow Lights are weatherproof and can be used when driving through snow or rain, but they are not submersible. They should be removed before launching your boat and then remounted when you pull the boat back on the trailer and ready to tow it again.

  • Average MPG Gains with Edge Evolution CS2 Tuner on 2003 Chevy Avalanche with 5.3L Engine
  • Edge provides average HP and Torque increases that are attainable, but due to the fact that there are many variables that will effect the realized fuel economy such as vehicle condition, weather, altitude and driving style, Edge cannot provide anything guaranteed in the way of mpg improvement numbers. However, my Edge has told me that through testing and consumer feedback, they find a 1-2 mpg improvement is typical. I've linked you to an FAQ article about vehicle programmers/tuners that...

  • LED lights such as pancake light # 277-000339 are typically brighter than their incandescent counterparts. The light draws 3 watts which is comparable to a 30 watt fluorescent bulb so that should help you to determine if the LEDs will be brighter than what you have now.

  • Brake Controller And Universal Wire Harness For 2007 Chevrolet Avalanche With Factory 7-Way
  • The Tekonsha Prodigy P2 Brake Controller, part # 90885 is a proportional brake controller that activates your trailer brakes in direct proportion to the brakes on your tow vehicle. You do not have a brake controller harness on your 2007 Avalanche, so you will need to hardwire the harness that the brake controller plugs into. You will need part # 20127. Using this harness enable you to plug and unplug the brake controller when you want.

  • Can I Tow A 5th Wheel Trailer With A 2004 Chevy Avalanche?
  • I do not recommend attempting to pull a 5th wheel with that vehicle. The Avalanche may have adequate towing capacity for smaller 5th wheel campers. My main concern is configuration of the truck bed and that it would not allow turning clearance. That being said I do not offer a 5th wheel hitch install kit that will fit this vehicle. Basically 5th wheel or gooseneck towing with this vehicle would be a no-go. You can certainly still tow with this vehicle but you would be limited to bumper...

  • Will Trailer Brakes Lock Up When Output On Brake Controller Is Set To Maximum
  • When you adjust your output to maximum on the Curt Venturer, part # C74VV the brakes will be applied aggressively but will not lock them up as you questioned. It is a time-delayed brake controller and will apply the brakes to aid in braking as you need. If you move the manual adjustment to maximum you will apply the brakes even more aggressively.

  • Installing a Transmission Cooler on a 2010 Chevy Avalanche
  • There are a few transmission coolers that fit your 2010 Chevy Avalanche and the price will vary. I included a link showing you all the transmission coolers we currently offer for you to look at. Your Avalanche will have a factory cooling system but not a transmission cooler. Obtaining one will prolong the life of your transmission and improve it's overall performance. The Derale transmission cooler I recommend is # D13504 because it's a plate and fin cooler. The plate and fin cooler forces...
