Expert Answers about Chevrolet Express Van
- Availability Of Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver For 2017 Chevrolet Express Van RV
- I may have another option for you, but the Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver # C31016 you were looking at is only confirmed to fit the select 2000-2004 RVs built on the Chevrolet Express Van Chassis and will not fit your 2017 Chevrolet Express Van RV. At this time there is not a custom fit hitch confirmed to fit.
Instead you may be able to have a local fabrication shop and a universal hitch like the Draw-Tite Ultra Frame Service Body Trailer Hitch Receiver - Weld On - Class V - 2"...
view full answer... - What Weight Distribution and Airbags do you Recommend for my 2017 Chevrolet Express
- For your situation I really like the Fastway e2 Weight Distribution w/ 2-Point Sway Control part # FA94-00-0800. Your 600 lb. tongue weight falls right in the middle of the range of the system putting it right in the sweet spot. Check out the linked video on it. It is very easy to setup and use. You can back up freely and not have to worry about disconnecting anything to do so.
Air bags like the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs part # AL57205 are designed specifically for load...

- I recommend the Curt item # C15320 trailer hitch for your 2021 Chevrolet Express 4500. This is a 2 inch class V hitch with a 16000 lbs towing capacity, 2400 lbs tongue weight, and is the heaviest duty hitch for your van.
You're going to need a wiring harness to power and control your trailer lights and potentially other functions. I recommend the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector item # 55540.
If you're looking to have wiring for both a 4 flat...

- If the load in the cargo area of the van will fluctuate quite a bit, I'd go with an adjustable alternative like the Air Lift # AL57205 air suspension. You can easily tailor the stiffness of the springs to the load you're carrying, rather than using the jounce bumper type option like the Timbren # TGMFK15A, which typically won't come into play until there's a load being carried on the rear vehicle axle.
The air bag suspension can be supplemented with the addition of an onboard compressor...

- Yes, we do have a 7-way/4-way connector that fits the round connector on your 2017 Chevy Express Van. For that you'd want the part # HM40975. This has a 7-way on one side and a 4-way on the other. I attached an install video for this on a similar 2014 Express Van as well.
view full answer... - Universal Towing Mirror Recommendation for a 2004 Chevy Express Van 3500
- For your 2004 Chevy Express Van 3500, you will need to use a universal application towing mirror like the Clip-On Towing Mirror, # 7070, that you have referenced. I recommend the Universal Strap-On Towing Mirror (Each), # 40375. It is more adjustable than the Clip-On mirror because it has 3 feet that can be adjusted to optimize mirror position. I have included a link to a video review of this mirror below.

- Yes they would. I checked with Longview and they list the Tow Mirrors part # LVT-1700 as a fit for your 2015 Chevy Express Van so we would recommend them for you as well. I attached an install video for you to check out as well.
view full answer... - Where to Wire Red Wire of Rear View Safety G-Series Back Up Camera System
- The red wire of the Rear View Safety G-Series Backup Camera System - Backup Sensors Item # RVS-776718-PS you have labelled ACC+ should get ran to a 12 volt power circuit that is only active when the vehicle is turned on. Typically a circuit like the radio, power antenna, or even the IGN circuit of the fuse block can be used for this.
view full answer... - Trailer Wiring Harness for a 2013 Chevy Express Van
- A powered converter is not required for a 2013 Chevy Express Van. Since you are looking to add a 4-Way I recommend going with harness # 118392. This harness plugs in line with the vehicle tail lights. I have linked a video showing an example installation for you.
The connector is going to work. The connectors with the green wire in the trailer wiring harness go to the passenger's side and is only picking up the right turn signal/brake light circuit. The other side has a yellow wire for...
view full answer... - Trailer Hitch Recommendation for a P30 Service Body Truck
- I spoke to my contacts at Curt and Reese and the only styles of hitches that can be made to fit a service body truck like yours are multi-fit 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.
view full answer... - Recommended 4-way T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness and 7-way for 2000 Chevrolet Express Van
- If your 2000 Chevy Express Van has the tow package then the 4-way wiring harness you will want is the # 118240.
If you do not have the tow package then the # 118377 would be the correct 4-way wiring harness for you to get.
To adapt these 4-ways to a 7-way plug, you will want the # ETBC7. If you don't already have a brake controller, I recommend the Tekonsha P3 # 90195, because of its easy user interface. The P3 is a proportional brake controller which means it senses how the tow vehicle...
view full answer... - Solution For Carrying 2 Kayaks On Top Of A 2012 Chevy Express Van 3500
- It really depends on the weight of your kayaks and also the weight of any other cargo you plan on transporting on top of your 2012 Chevy Express Van. You may get by just fine with a roof rack which is more affordable than a ladder rack in this situation. The Inno Standard Square Steel Load Bars - 65" # INB165 with Feet # INSD would work well. This system has a weight capacity of 165lbs which should be plenty for two average-sized kayaks with a kayak carrier such as the Malone Stax Pro2...

- We offer a range of hitch-mount cargo carriers and these include fixed, folding and swing-out types, such as the Yakima Exo # Y62VR that you reviewed. Although this carrier can swing out of the way for rear-of-vehicle access, when it is locked in the travel position it will be centered at the rear of the vehicle. Similarly, all of the other fixed and folding hitch-mount cargo carriers we offer are designed to be centered at the rear of the vehicle. This is to keep the weight of their loaded...
view full answer... - Brake Controller Wires Under Dash On Chevy Express Van Not Active
- This is a very common problem on the Chevy Express Vans in that the brake controller wires under the dash are not active. I don't have any diagrams of these wires but what I can tell you is that you'll need to simply run your own wires. We have had a large number of the Express Vans in our shop and have spent countless hours tracing wires to find power but to no avail. Therefore, we have already done all of the troubleshooting and headache for you. You can wire up pretty much any brake...
view full answer... - What Brand/Kind Of Grease Is Compatible With The Pre-Greased Hubs AKHD-550-35-K
- The grease that comes in our pre-greased hubs like the # AKHD-550-35-K is a lithium based grease. For bearing grease I recommend either the LubriMatic Multi-purpose lithium grease # L11315 or the LubriMatic LMX Industrial Strength Grease # L11390. This is what we generally use when we install bearings at our shop here in Missouri. That said, grease does not need to be brand specific, and you can use any lithium based bearing grease.

- There will be no wiring differences between the 2WD and AWD models of the 2009 Chevrolet Express 1500 in regards to trailer or brake control wiring.
The Curt Class IV Trailer Hitch, # 14090, is an excellent choice for your van. We have an installation video of this hitch on a 2008 model that I attached for you if you plan to complete the installation yourself. The installation will be the same on your Express.
For trailer wiring, you will need the following kits:

view full answer... - Trailer Hitch Receiver for 2006 Chevy Express 3500 Cutaway Box Truck
- You will need to weld to the frame one way or another to have a hitch installed on your box truck. The hitch on the picture you attached is still connected to the frame underneath, it just runs up through that step bumper. If you wanted to attempt to replicate that setup you could take the Curt Combo Bar # C49360 to a custom fabricator and have them design it to fit your truck.
The other option is to use a universal hitch like the Curt Class V Universal Weld-on Receiver Hitch # 15902....
view full answer... - Front Hitch For A 2020 Chevy Express Van
- I do have a potential option for you, but we do not offer a custom fit front hitch for your 2020 Chevy Express Van. Instead a weld-on universal hitch like # 41990-07 which offers a 7 inch drop could work for you. Since this is not custom fitted, you likely will need to make some modifications to the fascia and/or front bumper in order to install.
view full answer... - Recommended Suspension Enhancement and Weight Distribution Hitch for 2011 Chevy Express 2500
- Since your van is based on the 2011 Chevy Express 2500 Cargo Van the RoadActive Suspension Custom Leaf Spring Enhancement Kit # RAS2611-V would be the correct part and a great option for additional support. This converts your factory leaf springs into a mechanically active system. It will eliminate axle wrap, wheel hop, and bottoming out.
The RAS system also helps to reduce sway and will improve your ride level with your family loaded up and while towing. The springs adjust based on the...
