  • Pewag ASV Snow Tire Chains for 215/85-16 Tires on 2006 Chevy C-Series Truck
  • I see that you've been looking at the Pewag ASV square link tire chains, good choice! For a 215/85-16 tire, you'd want to use part # PWASV79 which is compatible with 15-18 inch wheels. These chains are constructed of titanium/steel alloy for plenty of strength on or off road. The square chain links provide superior bite on snowy or icy surfaces. The asymmetrical chain pattern provides great lateral traction and a very smooth ride. If you wanted something less expensive, the Pewag # PWE3231SC...

  • Tire Chain Recommendation for Icy Roads with a 2001 Chevy 2500HD 285/75-16 Tire Size
  • For icy conditions you would want to go with a V-bar style chain that has the ability to crush ice as you drive through it. For that the part # TC3829 is a fit for your tire size of 285/75-16 and would work well. Be sure to check the owners manual for any tire chain restrictions.

Check out the review video and install picture I attached for more info as well.

  • Troubleshooting Trailer Brakes that Only Activate with Manual Override Lever on Brake Controller
  • There are a couple possible reasons as to why your Draw-Tite brake controller is only applying the trailer brakes when using the manual override lever. I first recommend making sure that the red wire from the controller is connected to the cold side of the truck's brake light switch. You can use a circuit tester like # PTW2993 to ensure you have the correct wire on the vehicle, which will only receive power with the brake pedal pressed, and no power with any other vehicle function. If...

  • Recommended Inverter For Powering TV and Coffee Pot While Not Hooked Up To Shore Power
  • The correct inverter for your setup is really going to come down to the wattage requirements of the appliances you will be using in your 2008 Freedom Express RV when running off the battery bank. I included a chart that goes over common wattage requirements for certain appliances, and based off what you are wanting to power a 2000 Watt Inverter like the # PD64FR will likely work, but if you try to run any additional appliances at the same time you may run into issues. It would not hurt...

  • Tire Chain Recommendation for Motorhome with Tire Size 227/75-15
  • We have tire chains that fit your tire size of 225/75-15 that you have on your motorhome but we don't have any for a dually type setup like you are wanting. So what you'd want to do is install a set on the outside wheels like with the Titan chains part # TC2016. These are a lower profile chain that will give you a smoother ride quality. Cable setups don't hold up as well as chains and since this is a heavier motorhome setup I'd recommend you stick with chains for better longevity.

  • Can I Change From Surge Hydraulic Brake To Electric Brakes
  • More than likely you can switch your brakes from surge hydraulic to electric. However, I am unable to tell you if the Electric Trailer Brake Kit # AKEBRK-35-SA is going to fit or not without certain measurements. To ensure that you get the correct hub assembly you need to know what spindle you have on your trailer. In order to do that you can either get the inner and outer bearing numbers from a hub or use a dial or digital caliper to get the exact measurements of the spindle. The measurements...

  • Fifth Wheel Rail Kit Recommendation for 1985 Chevy K20
  • I can't find the part number you mentioned but I am fairly certain it's a standard style of fifth wheel hitch and you are looking for a rail kit to fit it to the bed of your 1985 Chevy K20. For a rail kit that would fit and work well the Reese Universal kit part # RP30035 would be a great option. This has been confirmed as a fit for your 1985 Chevy K20 truck.

  • Do the Wheel Covers Measure Around the Wheel or Tire for Diameter Measurement
  • The diameter of the tire and wheel covers that we have listed on our site take into account the diameter of the tire. For example, the Adco Ultra Tyre Gard RV Wheel Covers # 290-3953 fit around tires that are 27" - 29" in diameter. I have attached a picture for demonstration. These covers come in white with a 3-year warranty. They are made of a heavy-duty vinyl construction which is water and UV repellent to help extend the life of your tires.

  • Recommended Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Electric Brake Controller # 90195 for 2009 Chevy Silverado
  • For your 2009 Chevy Silverado 1500 the duct tape is definitely a warning sign that things may not be installed correctly. The Hayes Genesis controller # HA81790 has a connection that is not the same as the Tekonsha controllers. The pigtail # HA81789-HBC was hardwired to give you the appearance of a factory connection as that truck model in 2009 had the wiring present under the dash but without a connector. My recommendation is to hardwire the Tekonsha harness in a similar way. The Tekonsha...

  • Will Replacement Key For Global Link RV Locks Work on Motorhome
  • There really is no way to tell as we do not have access to information concerning what locks are on motorhomes. The Replacement Key for Global Link RV Locks # 295-000059 would only work if your motorhome has a Global Link entry door and you know you need key 333.

  • Recommended Baseplate For A 1979 Chevy C10 Stepside
  • Looking at Roadmaster's fitguide the only option is the Roadmaster Crossbar-Style Base Plate Kit # 122-1, with the stipulation that it's 2 Wheel Drive and excluding Diesel and 5.7L Engine models. There currently isn't an adapter to go from a Roadmaster baseplate to a Ready Brute tow bar so you would need to also get a compatible tow bar, like the etrailer SD Non-Binding Tow Bar # e44ZR. This tow bar is going to also come with safety cables so you won't have to purchase them separately....

  • Buyers Products Hitch Plate with Receiver Tube to Fit 1973 Chevrolet 65 COE
  • As long as the distance from outside to outside on the rear frame rails of your 1973 Chevrolet T-65 is 34 inches the Buyers Products Hitch Plate with Receiver Tube # 3371809065 is the correct size and would work well. It's designed to fit the style of truck you have though so I'd be shocked if yours didn't match this as the 34 inch frame is a very standard size.

  • Troubleshooting no Power to Trailer Turn Signals
  • If your trailer turn signals are not working there are a number of different reasons and there are some troubleshooting steps you can take to determine the specific problem. The first thing to do is take a look at your owner's manual to locate where any trailer fuses or relays and ensure they are all there and in working order. If they are, since you tested the plug on your 2001 Chevy and found no signal at the turn signals, check your connector for corrosion, which can be green or white...

  • Can 4.80-12 Size Tires be Used to Replace 145R12 Size Tires for 1998 Eagle 8 SD TIRES
  • While a 4.80-12 size tire would fit because it is smaller, I recommend sticking with your 145R12 tire size (which is also known as 145/80R12) for a few reasons. The first reason is that the 145R12 size tires have a higher weight rating which means by keeping this size you won't be lowering your overall weight rating. Second reason is that the 145R12 is a radial tire which is built for highway use. The 4.80-12 tires can be used on the highway but they are all bias tires which have a stiffer...

  • Hanger Spacing Used When Installing Triple Axle Slipper Spring Kit
  • I can give you a general estimate but the only way to get it just right is to mock up all the parts to determine the proper locations prior to permanently installing everything. On a triple axle trailer with 2 inch wide slipper springs the distance from the first and second hangers would be approximately 28-1/2 inches. From the second to third hangers it would be approximately 33 inches. And from the third to fourth hangers it would be approximately 28-1/2 inches. For this set up the center...
