  • Does Trailer Wiring Power Wire for 2014 Chevy Impala have to be Routed to Battery a Certain Way
  • There is no one specific way that the power wire has to be run for trailer wiring harness # 118590 for your 2014 Chevy Impala.

  • Installing MaxxTow # MT70097 Magnetic Mount Tow Lights Permanently on Vehicle
  • The Peterson # PE26UR Magnetic Tow Lights could be modified by doing some cutting and splicing to work as you describe. You would attach the connector of the wiring harness at the front of the vehicle and run the wiring under the vehicle. Following the frame member or an existing wiring harness works best. Run the wires to the rear of the vehicle, being sure to avoid any suspension and steering components that might move or anything hot like the exhaust system. Under the vehicle at the...

  • No, the manufacturer of the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch, # 36407, for the 2010 Chevrolet Impala does not require the use of a stabilizing strap, part # 18050, for carrying a bike rack and bikes within the capacity of the hitch and vehicle.

  • Will The Coil SumoSprings Helper Springs CSS-1995R Increase Ride-Height?
  • The Coil SumoSprings Custom Helper Springs # CSS-1195R for the rear axle of your 2012 Chevrolet Impala will not affect unloaded ride-height. These helper springs will only come into effect when the rear of the vehicle is loaded down with weight. It will simply assist your suspension and help support heavy loads along with reducing body roll on turns. There are not any products available to increase the ride-height of your Impala. It is possible that your rear suspension is simply worn-out...

  • Will the Trunk Open on a 2007 Chevrolet Impala With a Trunk Mounted Bike Carrier
  • You would not want to open the trunk while a trunk mounted bike rack is installed on your 2007 Chevrolet Impala because it could cause damage to the vehicle. If you would like to have access to your trunk without having to remove the bike rack every time, then I would recommend adding a hitch and hitch mounted bike rack. For your vehicle, I would recommend the Draw-Tite Class II Hitch, # 36407. There will be no contact between your vehicle and a hitch mounted bike rack and you will be...

  • How to Loosen Ratchet Straps for Roadmaster Tow Dolly and 2009 Chevy Impala
  • If you're struggling to get the straps loose from the 3477 Roadmaster Tow Dolly # RM-2050-1 since your 2009 Chevy Impala sits too low, you'll need to move the release down and hold it there manually while you pull down. This will loosen up the strap and then might give you enough slack to then open up the handle fully to make removing the strap easier. Unfortunately there aren't any smaller handles that you can swap out with this to make it easier to operate in those regards.

  • How to Mount the Fulton Plastic Trailer Fenders
  • You can mount the fenders directly to the trailer frame through the fender skirt on the back of the fender. I would recommend using large washers if you drill through the fender skirt and attach the fender directly to the trailer frame. If mounting directly to the trailer frame is not possible on your trailer, you will need to use brackets to attach the fenders. We have the Galvanized Steel, L-Shaped, Bolt-On Brackets, item # PF775-BKT-2, that could be used to mount these fenders, # F008543,...

  • Why Does Hopkins Trailer Wiring Harness Install Differently than Others for a 2011 Chevy Impala
  • The Curt wiring harness # C56046 as well as the Tekonsha harness # 118417 both plug into just one side of the 2011 Chevy Impala. The main tail light wiring harness that runs from the front to the back of the vehicle is located on that side so it is possible to just tap into that harness. The Hopkins harness # HM11141595 is just a different design. The connectors for the passengers side do not have the wiring in them to get the signals for the left side of the vehicle like the other harnesses...

  • Does Kat's Heaters Custom Fit Engine Block Heater Have a Thermostat?
  • The Kat's Heaters Custom Fit Engine Block Heater # KH11811 has an internal thermostat that will turn the heater on when the coolant temperature drops below 0 degrees. So if your coolant is below 0 degrees then yes, it will turn on right away. I'm not sure what the higher temperature shutoff is but it won't stay on constantly unless that is what is needed to keep the coolant above 0 degrees.
