Expert Answers about Chevrolet Silverado 2500


  • How to Lower a Weight Distribution System
  • You will need a shank with a larger drop to lower your Husky Weight Distribution System because the Husky Shank with a 5-1/2" rise and 1-1/4" drop will not work with your current trailer. I actually went out and grabbed your Husky weight distribution system and a few shanks to see what worked and what would give you the drop you needed. After investigating a few shanks, the best one to fit your needs is the Equal-I-zer Weight Distribution shank # EQ90-02-4400. This shank will fit on your...

  • How to Determine Correct Spacers For Firestone Air Bags on 2016 Chevy Silverado w/ 3-1/2 Inch Lift
  • There are likely going to be some spacers that will work for you, though to find the correct ones you'll actually need to do some measuring during the install on your 2016 Chevy Silverado 2500 of the Firestone Ride-Rite Red Label Extreme Duty Air Helper Springs # F2709. The reason for that is a 3-1/2 inch suspension lift does not necessarily mean your truck was lifted 3-1/2 inches. Additionally, I took a look at the instructions for a Rough Country 3-1/2 inch leveling kit and it said it...

  • B&W Patriot Sliding 5th Wheel Hitch & Standard Width Trailers
  • That's a good question, so I reached out to my colleague about towing a very wide trailer with the B&W Patriot 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch with Slider # BWRVK3270. They said this bullet point wasn't specific to the Patriot and was a way of saying that the best way to get added turning clearance with a very wide trailer is to use an extended pin box like a Sidewinder as opposed to a sliding hitch. That said, there isn't any issue using the Patriot # BWRVK3270 with your standard-width trailer;...

  • Differences In 5th Wheel Hitches For Short And Long Bed Trucks
  • Yes, there is a difference in hitches for an 8' bed on your 2022 Chevrolet Silverado like the B&W Companion # BWRVK3710, which is a fixed hitch. Fixed hitches are used primarily on long bed trucks, and sliding hitches like the Demco Hijacker # DM8550034 are used short bed trucks. The reason being is because, due to the shorter bed length, the hitch is installed closer to the cab, reducing the turning radius significantly, whereas, the long bed trucks install the hitch farther from the cab,...

  • Wire Gauge of Leads on Optronics ILL02CEHBP
  • According to the folks at Optronics, the ILL02CEHBP Opti-Brite LED Dome Light which we sell as part # # OPT58FR has leads that are 18 gauge, which is plenty large enough for the lamp's 0.74 amp draw at 12V or the .0.35 amp draw at 24V. The back of the lamp assembly isn't perfectly flat, but if the double sided tape you use is foam backed so it has a little give to it, it should conform to the back of the lamp well enough to get good adhesion, although using screws is the recommended attachment...

  • Is There Universal Maximum Output on 12V Pin of 7-Way
  • The 12 volt accessory pin on the 7-way of your 2017 Chevy Silverado 2500 should have constant power, though there isn't truly a universal maximum sustained output. If you are using the 7-Function Digital Multimeter # PT89ZR for example, and are getting a consistent reading that is 12 volts or something close then everything is working as intended. There will, of course, be a bit of fluctuation but you should expect a reading that is constantly in the 12 volt range.

  • Is the Pace Edwards 311-SWC95A17 SwitchBlade Hard Aluminum Retractable Tonneau Cover Lockable
  • The # 311-SWC95A17 Pace Edwards tonneau cover you refer to isn't in of itself lockable, but because the cover only opens from the underside as long as the truck tailgate is locked the tonneau cover will be secure. If you click the provided link, you can see a product description video featuring this cover. I've also linked to an installation video that you might find helpful.

  • Can The MaxxAir MaxxFan Deluxe Be Left Open At Highway Speeds
  • Yes, the design of the lid on the MaxxFan Deluxe Roof Vent w/ 12V Fan and Thermostat # MA00-05100K allows it to be used while travelling at interstate speeds. If you're going to be installing this yourself then I recommend picking up a Roof Vent Installation Kit # 344270KITW as well to properly secure and seal the vent to the roof of your trailer.

  • Amperage Draw For Optronics Opti-Brite LED Spotlight # TLL46TB
  • The Opti-Brite LED Spotlight, part # TLL46TB is a 9 diode LED spotlight that produces up to 707 lumens. This is a dual power light that you can use with either 12V or 24V systems. On a 12V system the amperage draw is 1.50 amps and for a 24V system the amperage draw is .73 amps.

  • How Does Age and Exposure Affect 5th Wheel Trailer Tire Performance
  • A trailer tire can be as much as 6-years old and still be used safely provided that there is no damage to the tire from dry rot or UV radiation, and as long as it has sufficient tread depth and can hold its required psi pressure. From the time a trailer tire leaves the factory, travels on a container ship, is stocked in a warehouse and finally delivered to the retailer that will sell it, it is likely to be at least 6 months old. Trailer tires will have a DOT date code on the sidewall...

  • How to Determine Correct Rise or Drop for B&W Tow & Stow 2-Ball Mount
  • Determining how to get the correct rise or drop is actually pretty simple and only requires two measurements. If you get the largest rise and drop you could wind up with more ball mount than necessary. In order to choose the correct ball mount, there are a couple measurements you'll need to take. First, make sure both your vehicle and trailer are parked on level ground; you'll then want to measure from the ground to the top of the inside of your hitch receiver. Next, measure from the...
