Expert Answers about Chevrolet C-Series Medium Duty


  • Wheel Net Recommendation for E-Tracks of Car Hauler
  • We actually have wheel nets that are designed for E-tracks as the part # 77314. These come with the exact clips needed to easily connect to E-track. If you are looking for an easy way to secure the wheels of a vehicle to a trailer that has E-track this would be the way to go! Check out the review video and install picture I attached for more info as well.

  • Does Curt Hitch # C15312 Come with Bracket for Mounting Trailer Wiring
  • The Curt trailer hitch part # C15312 that you referenced doesn't have trailer wiring mounting brackets as typically the truck this is installed on has a cutout or opening on the bumper for wiring to attach to. But if you had an aftermarket bumper maybe and needed a bracket the part # PK12711U can attach to your rear bumper so that the 7-way can mount.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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...

  • What Electric Bike Rack Do You Recommend that Installs to the Frame of My Motorhome?
  • I have a solution for you. We do not carry any bike racks that secure to a vehicle's frame. For your heavy electric bikes, a motorhome-approved hitch-mounted carrier is the right way to go. I recommend the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE # HLY84FR. The Sport Rider SE has the highest maximum per-bike weight capacity of any rack we currently carry (80 pounds). As far as construction, the Sport Rider SE is specially manufactured to withstand the added torque and force when mounted on the hitch...

  • Trailer Hitch Solution for 1999 Chevy Box Truck
  • I spoke to my contacts at Curt and Reese and the only styles of hitches that can be made to fit a box-truck body like yours are multi-fit RV hitches like the # 41990 that has a 16k capacity. This is a weld on hitch that would require either the 7 inch drop brackets part # 4907 or the 16 inch brackets part # 4916.

  • 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.

  • 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...

  • 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.

  • 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...

  • Yes, the Buyers Products Flatbed/Flatbed Dump Hitch Plate Bumper with Pintle Mount # 3371809050 that you referenced does fit the flatbed/dump bed you have on your 2000 C6500. According to Buyers Products this fits your chassis but will require some drilling.

  • Fifth Wheel Rail Kit Recommendation for a 1979 Chevy Scottsdale
  • We have fifth wheel rail kits that are listed as a fit for your 1979 Chevy Scottsdale but they are universal kits that will require some drilling. The part # RP30035 is a fifth wheel rail kit confirmed as a fit for your truck that will work for you as long as the hitch you have is designed to fit industry standard fifth wheel rails like the part # RP30047.

  • 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...
