  • Trailer Brake Controller Wiring Installation in Chevy Avalanche
  • To install the Tekonsha Prodigy P2 Trailer Brake Controller # 90885 in your Chevy Avalanche that has a factory-installed 7-way trailer connector you will use existing OEM wiring that is under the dash to hard wire it. There is no quick-connect brake controller port in your model year Avalanche; there was one included up to model year 2006 and this used part # 3015-P. You can use wiring pigtail # 20127 to give you the wires needed for connection. On the controller pigtail the wire colors/functions...

  • Parts for Installing Weight Distribution on a V-Nose Trailer
  • Reese does have a different bracket available for towers with V-Nose trailers or trailers with boxes on the A-Frame tongue. These brackets, part # RP58305, bolt-on to the side of the frame instead of going over the top. Since they are not Snap-Up brackets, you will have to hitch the trailer, raise the truck and trailer via the trailer jack, attach the chains, then let the jack down.

  • What Mounting Brackets Do I Need for a Grille Guard on My 2006 Chevy Avalanche?
  • Even though I cannot confirm for sure, from the look of the product photo you included, it looks like the brush guard you have is the Westin Sportsman Grille Guard 45-1170. If that is indeed the grill guard, then the part you need is the Replacement Mounting Kit for Sportsman Grille # 40-117PK. However, it is important to note that the Westin Sportsman Grille Guard # 45-1170 only fits a 2006 Chevy Avalanche 1500 models without the clad molding option. Westin does not currently make a...

  • Adapter Needed for a Blue OX Alexxa BX7435 Tow Bar On a 2003 Chevrolet Avalanche
  • You can use either of the Roadmaster tow bar adapters to connect your Alexxa BX7435 tow bar to the Roadmaster XL Base Plates # 199-5. If you choose the # RM-033 adapter you will also need the Roadmaster Tow Bar Quick Disconnect Kit, item # RM-201, which will allow the tow bar to be easily disconnected. If you choose the # RM-032 adapter you will not need the addition of the quick disconnects and one side of the adapter bar will stay attached to the Blue Ox tow bar when disconnected.

  • What Adapter Do I need to Convert the 6-Way to a 4-Way on my 2010 Chevy Avalanche for a Hitch Cover
  • For a 6-Pole Round connector, you would use adapter part # PK12717. Most of the manufacturers use 7-Pole connectors, not 6. There are 6 flat pins arranged in a circle with a large center post as the 7th contact. In this case, you would use part # PK12716. Check the pictures of the parts I mentioned and you should be able to tell which is on your truck. I just do not want you to end up with the wrong part.

  • Are Load Resistors Needed When Replacing Incandescent Lights With LED Lights On A Travel Trailer?
  • When you go to replace your incandescent lights with LED lights on your 2008 Jayco Jay Feather, you should only need to use load resistors like the Load Resistor Kit for LED Turn Signals # DI34ZR with turn signals to prevent hyperflashing.

  • Entry Level Brake Controller For 2003 Chevrolet Avalanche
  • Since you are looking for a entry level brake controller, I recommend the Tekonsha Voyager Trailer Brake Controller # 39510. With a proportional brake controller, you can get heavy-duty emergency braking, general braking or slow-to-an-idle braking for your trailer automatically. The intensity with which your trailer brakes are activated and the rate at which they are applied are dependent on the deceleration of your tow vehicle. This means that, unlike time-delay controllers - which send...

  • Parts Needed to Install Primus IQ Brake Controller on a 2011 Chevy Avalanche
  • If your 2011 Chevy Avalanche 1500 has a factory 7-Way then nothing else is needed but if you don't have the factory 7-Way at the rear of your vehicle then you do need the part # PK11916 to complete your wiring to install the Primus IQ # TK90160. We also have a note that if you don't have the factory wiring you may also need to install a 4-Way like part # C59496 to complete your wiring. In either case there are already some wires under your dash that you will connect the brake controller to.

  • Recommended Suspension Enhancement For Towing with 2009 Chevy Avalanche LTZ
  • I may have a solution for you, but it does not appear that there are any true air bag kits available for the 2009 Chevy Avalanche LTZ; from what I can find with some research it appears that most of these models have a shock and coil suspension and not a leaf spring suspension system. You could use the Air Lift 1000 Air Helper Springs for Coil Springs - Rear # AL60769, but these are designed for coil spring systems, so it would not work if you've got leaf springs. The Air Lift WirelessONE...

  • Parts Needed to Flat tow a 2004 Chevy Avalanche Z-71 4x4 with a Roadmaster Falcon Tow Bar
  • The first thing you will want to do is consult the vehicle owners manual for the proper procedure for towing your 2004 Chevy Avalanche. If you have a 1500 model, you can use the Roadmaster XL base plates, # 199-5, that you have referenced. If you have a 2500 model, you can use # 3112-1. Either of these base plate kits are compatible with a Falcon tow bar.
