Expert Answers about GMC Savana Van


  • Parts Needed to Install 7-Way and 4-Way on 2011 GMC Savana Van
  • To have both a 4-way and 7-way on your 2011 GMC Savana Van you'd need a 4-way kit first with the part # 118392 and then to convert it to a 7-way you'd want the part # 37185 which also has a 4-way on the side of it. If your trailer has brakes you'd instead need to use the adapter kit part # ETBC7 and install a brake controller like the Brake EVN # TK63VR.

  • RoadActive Suspension Kit that Fits 2014 GMC Savana 3500 Van
  • The RoadActive Suspension kit part # RAS2611-V that you referenced is a confirmed fit for your 2014 GMC Savana Van. It will give you additional suspension support but it would stiffen the suspension up so it would not necessarily help with the issue you described. I suspect your issue is related to the rating of your weight distribution system. Which part number do you have? It sounds like you have a system rated too high for the tongue weight of your trailer.

  • Will the Curt Hitch C15312 Fit a 2009 GMC Cab and Chassis Van?
  • It's not designed to. The Curt Trailer Hitch item # C15312 is custom fit for 2001 - 2010 Sierra and Silverado 2500 and 3500s. The width of the bolt holes is the same as the item # 3371801102 as you can see from the dimensional diagrams below. However, nothing else is the same so you would need to do some drilling and there may be other parts like exhaust or braces in the way. The only hitch that is custom fit for a 2009 GMC cab and chassis van is the Buyers Products 2" Hitch Receiver...

  • Troubleshooting Brake Controller with no Power
  • I tried looking up the fuse locations for your 2014 GMC 3500 Savana and I wasn't able to locate any fuses dedicated to a brake controller. If your brake controller isn't getting power, and you have tested the power wiring using a circuit tester # PTW2993, I do have a solution for you still. You could try tracing the power wire to see where it might be damaged, but it would most likely be easier to run 10 Gauge Wire # 10-1-1 from your battery to your brake controller so that you bypass...

  • Availability Of Trailer Hitch Receiver For 2003 Chevy Express 3500 Cutaway Van
  • I may have another option for you, but the Buyers Products 2" Hitch Receiver For GM Express/Savana with Cutaway Chassis # 3371801102 you were looking at is designed to fit the 2014 - 2020 GMC/Chevy Cutaway Vans and is not a confirmed fit for your 2003 Chevy Express Van 3500 Cutaway Chassis School Bus. Since there are no confirmed fits for your vehicle your best bet is going to be having a local fabrication shop install a universal hitch like the Draw-Tite Ultra Frame Service Body Trailer...

  • The Buyers Products 2" Hitch Receiver For GM Express/Savana with Cutaway Chassis # 3371801102 you were looking at measure 39" from center to center of the mounting holes as you can see in the included diagram, so depending where you measured the frame it may be a fit.

  • Recommended 7 Way Wiring Harness for 2004 GMC Savana Cutaway
  • Since you don't already have the factory wiring for a towing package on your 2004 GMC Savana Cutaway 3500, you'll first need to add a 4 way connector; to do this I recommend using the Tekonsha 4-pole Hardwire Kit with Circuit Tester # 18252 which will need to be hardwired into your vehicle electrical system. From there, to add the appropriate wiring for a brake controller, you need to add the Universal Installation Kit for Trailer Brake Controller # ETBC7 , which will put a 7 way connector...

  • Where is the Tow Wiring Connection on a 2014 GMC Savanna Van
  • The 2014 GMC Savanna Van has two possible options for trailer wiring. If the van is pre-wired for a towing package or it is not pre-wired. The wiring plug that you mentioned does not look like the correct wiring plug needed if the vehicle is pre-wired for towing. The plug end for the pre-wired will be a OEM car connection that is a somewhat large round plug. See photo. If your vehicle is not pre-wired, then a harness kit like Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness, # 118392, will work...

  • Where Does the Trailer Wiring Harness Install on a 1996 GMC Savana Van
  • You are correct. The Curt wiring harness, # C55335, plugs in line with the tail light wiring and you will not have to splice into the wires at all. I have included a link to the installation details for you to view. Models that originally came with a 4-Way from the factory but need a replacement would use a different harness, # 118240. I have included a link to a video that shows how this harness installs.

  • Where Are the Wires To Install a Brake Controller On a 2017 GMC Savana Cutaway
  • The stop light switch wire on your 2017 GMC Savana Van should be located up under your dash, tapped to the three or four other wires that you need to install a brake controller; power, ground, and brake output. These wires have blunt cut ends and may or may not be labeled therefore you will need to test each wire prior to making connections. Please note if you will be using the Draw-Tite Activator Trailer Brake Controller part # 5504, you will also need the Brake Control Plug-In Harness...

  • Trailer Brake Controller Installation on 2013 GMC Savana 3500 Van with Factory Tow Package
  • If your 2013 GMC Savana 3500 van has the tow package with factory-installed 7-way trailer connector then brake controller installation will be a snap. Vehicles with the 7-Way tow package have the blue brake controller output wire already run from the back of the van to the front. It is located under the dash near the emergency brake pedal. This blue wire connects to the controller's blue wire. The three other wires from the controller are: 12V input power (black wire) which connects...

  • Replacement Strip Style Trailer Tail Light
  • I believe I have what you are looking for. The Optronics Streamline LED Trailer Tail Light # STL79RB is most likely going to be the replacement you are wanting. Looking at your picture and comparing it to the # STL79RB I believe they are the same light. I think the "OPT-8TL 79R8" you are seeing may actually be STL 79RB and the OPT just meaning the manufacturer (Optronics). It can be hard to clearly make out what is said on the inside of the lights. The # STL79RB is 17" long but measures...
