Expert Answers about GMC Sierra
- What Does Tow Mode Switch Do On 2004 GMC Sierra
- The tow mode switch on your shifter is designed to change the shift points of the transmission and makes the shifting a little quicker and harder and it is recommended that it be on when towing a trailer. It will downshift faster when going up a hill when towing and will use engine braking when going downhill.
A transmission cooler like the Derale Combination Transmission and Engine Oil Cooler, part # D15902 serves two purposes.
It is divided in to two sections. It has and inlet and...

- The standard layout for a 7-Way plug can be viewed in the included diagram. If your 2006 GMC C5500 has a factory 7-Way, this should be the same layout used for your existing plug.
If it is an aftermarket 7-Way, it is possible that the plug was wired with a different layout, depending on the installer. You can use a circuit tester like part # PTW2993 to verify that your 7-Way is laid out the same way as the picture.

view full answer... - Can BRW77FR Be Wired To The Battery In Conjunction With A Solar Charger
- The problem to watch out for, is not the voltage, it's the current (cfm). If your battery recommends 30a max charge current and both of your chargers are rated at 15a, you're good to use them both at the same time. If your chargers are both 30a units, then you could damage your battery. Since both the Solar # BRW54FR and wall charger # BRW77FR are 7.5 Watts I don't see there being an issue. The wall charger has a cut off when the batter is fully charged and the solar will maintain the the...
view full answer... - Determining the Axle Capacity of a Travel Trailer With Bearing Numbers and Spindle Measurements
- Based on the bearing and seal part numbers that you provided as well as your measurements, your trailer probably has a 3,500 lb axle. I also recommend checking the outer diameter of your axle tube. If it is a 3,500 lb axle, then it should have an outer diameter of either 2-3/8 inches or 3 inches.
If you can tell me the diameter of your axle and whether you need double eye springs or slipper springs, I would be happy to provide some recommendations for you. Can you also tell me if your...

- There really is nothing about the installation of the DeeZee Invis-A-Rack Folding Ladder Rack, part # DZ951600 that would stop a determined thief. It would however take some effort for a thief to take the ladder rack without being noticed as they would have to use a wrench to remove the clamps that hold the rack rails in place.
The 4 brackets on each side of the truck bed would take time removing. We haven't had anyone contact us saying they had their rack stolen but if a thief is determined...
view full answer... - Is the Swift Hitch Wireless Backup Camera Water Resistant
- Basically what protects the Swift Hitch # 04928 from the elements is the plastic cover that you see on the back of the camera. This makes them more weather resistant but not water proof. It would be a good idea to take either camera off when not in use to keep the elements from shortening its life span.

- One of the gooseneck trailer hitch adapters we offer is part # RP58079. This holds the ball in place with a clip and the ball will spin. We offer two gooseneck trailer hitch adapters from Reese that will allow you to hook your gooseneck trailer up while using fifth wheel rails.
The other adapter is the one you came from, part # 16055 and it has the ball welded in place. If the weld has broken and allows the ball to move, it would be dangerous and you should stop using it immediately.

view full answer... - Is the TruXedo TruXport Roll Up Tonneau Cover # TX281101 Waterprooof
- The vinyl top of the cover will prevent most water from infiltrating but I would not consider any tonneau cover to be completely waterproof. During a heavy rain, the water will have a way of finding any opening, no matter how small it might be. Truxedo offers a tailgate gasket kit, part # TX1703206 that might help somewhat.
If you are storing anything in the bed of the truck that cannot get wet under any circumstances, do yourself a favor and wrap it in plastic. Weatherprooof, yes. Waterproof,...
