  • Suspension Enhancement Recommendation for a 1994 Chevy 3500 Truck
  • Was your truck built on a cab and chassis style frame? If so, you would need the # TGMFK35C for suspension enhancement. An easy way to determine is to measure the outside to outside dimension of your truck frame. If that distance is 34 you have a cab and chassis truck. There are only Timbrens available for this configuration. If you do not have a cab and chassis you would instead want the Air Lift kit part # AL57128 as it is the most similar to the product you mentioned. Or, the Timbren...

  • Method to Secure TireSavers RV Tire Covers ST7002WH in Windy Conditions
  • Enough wind coming from the right direction could affect stability of a tire cover like # ST7002WH or of an RV cover for that matter. In exceptionally windy conditions it might be advisable to place bungee cords or another type of retention strap around the covers to prevent loss in rough conditions. Covers like these are not formally rated for wind speeds so in the interest of protecting your tire cover investment an item like 24-inch Power Pull Bungee # EM06656 would be a worthwhile...

  • Replacement Wheels for 1938 GMC Pickup Truck
  • Conventional steel wheels like the # AM20514 often fit older trucks like your 1938 GMC pickup. However, these are only rated for trailer use. These 15" wheels have an offset of 0 and a 6 on 5-1/2 bolt pattern. A hubcap will fit but it would be like the # AM981306 which is slightly larger than your 7-1/2" to 8" measurement with a 10-9/16" overall diameter. If you have a 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern then the correct wheel would be the # AM20504. This would use a slightly smaller hubcap like...

  • Tow Package Wiring on 2003 Chevy Silverado Not Carrying Brake Controller Output to 7-Way
  • It sounds like the connection between the brake controller and the 7-way trailer connector is not completed. Although it sounds like you have the harness pinned out correctly, compare your plug pin-out to the diagram I produced for you. Take a look at the FAQ page I have linked to, step 2, photo D and E. The blue wire shown might not be connected to the 7-way connector at the rear of the vehicle. You might need to attach a length of 10 gauge wire (part # 10-1-1) to that blue wire and...

  • Troubleshooting Tekonsha Voyager Brake Controller When Brakes are Always Engaged
  • It sounds to me like you have the red wire coming from the Tekonsha Voyager, # 39510, connected to the wrong wire under your dash. The red wire needs to connect to the cold side of the brake light switch which will only show power when the brake pedal is pressed. Use a circuit tester like # PTW2993. This causes your trailer brakes to engage when the pedal is pressed, and not all the time. I've attached a video of a brake controller being installed. If you skip ahead to about 7:20 in...

  • Using Spacers to Install CURT Trailer Hitch # E-3S on a Step Bumper
  • The CURT Step Bumper Trailer Hitch, # E-3S, comes with some square spacers, part 5 in the instructions linked for you, just in case the bumper does have that protrusion on the underside of the bumper. These spacers are 1/4 inches thick. If you are using these and still have 1/8 of a gap, a slightly thicker spacer can be used as long as you make sure to tighten the bolts as specified in the instructions.
