Expert Answers about Chevrolet Silverado 3500


  • Driving Speed and Snow Chain Lifespan When Used on 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 HD 4x4
  • All snow chains require reduced driving speed. Typically manufacturers suggest speed not exceed 30 mph when chains are installed. Driving faster than this increases the risk of damaging and/or dislodging the chains, which could lead to damage to your vehicle and/or personal injury to you or other motorists. No tire chain product allows for normal driving speed in snowy or icy conditions. The rate and degree of wear on any given snow chain is a function of many factors, including but not...

  • Can the Demco Hijacker Autoslide 5th Wheel Hitch Auto Slide While Truck is Backing

  • What Seat Covers Will Work Best With Air Conditioned Seats?
  • The mesh center on the Covercraft spacer mesh covers is designed to be highly breathable. These would work great with the air conditioned seats as it will allow more air to pass thru the cover. That being said, we do not carry the spacer mesh covers here at etrailer. We offer the Covercraft seat savers # SSC2516CAGY which are made of a breathable poly/cotton weave. These will also work well with air conditioned seats.

  • Compatible B&W Companion Hitch For A 2022 Chevy Silverado 3500
  • The 3775 can go by multiple names; RVK, RVB, etc. depending on the distributor you're purchasing it from for branding, but the model 3775 # BWRVK3775 is the correct hitch for your 2022 Chevy Silverado 3500. I did notice you were asking this question from the # BWRVK3770 so I wanted to let you know that this hitch would not be a compatible fit for your 2022 Chevy Silverado 3500. This hitch was designed for the GM trucks prior to 2020. I also want to note that both of these hitches were...

  • We recommend that you change the filters in your Clearsource Ultra RV Water Filter System w/ VirusGuard, # CS87FR each camping season unless water source requires more frequently.

Do not exceed 30 psi. Allow the filter to dry out and store in a cool dry location until the next trip.

  • What Should Clearance Be From Bed Rails to Fifth Wheel
  • The 4,400 lb tandem axles you have are supporting a very similar weight and trying to get these to support exactly the same weight consistently would be pretty tedious and not particularly beneficial. The 220 lb difference is perfectly fine so I would concentrate on making sure you tow as level as possible, which is going to be the best thing for you to for even suspension wear. If you take a look at the accompanying photo you can see that you need 5" to 6" for clearance from bed rails...

  • Will Curt Converter Allow Hazard Lights to Work
  • Assuming your truck has combined turn/brake lights, to separate out the hazards, you will not need anything else but the converter you asked about, the Curt 2 to 3 Wire Tail Light Converter # C56196. The reason for that is the hazards are on the same circuit as the turn signals. So when you turn on the hazards on your truck, the hazards will also turn on.

  • How Long Will A Fifth Wheel Lube Plate Last
  • Depending on a few things combined will determine how long a lube plate will last for you. A heavy pin weight will cause degradation to happen faster. If you spend more time on dirt roads or in dirty/dusty environments this will all get on the lube plate and the weight of the pin will grind it down. As long as you are not taking it into dirty areas and are super hard on it, you can expect a lube plate to last about six to eight months. Some people get more time out of them others get...

  • Where Can You Find the Key Code for a Global Link Slam Latch.
  • On a Global Link slam latch like the Global Link RV Baggage Door Slam Latch # 295-000015, the key code will be on the keys themselves or the back side of the slam latch. If you are unable to locate the key code, I would recommend reaching out to where you purchased the camper since you mentioned it being new.

  • Should B&W Companion for 2019 Chevy Silverado 3500 Have Gap Between Jaws
  • I believe you are referring to another question about the 1/4" gap between the jaws of the Reese 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Square Tube Slider # RP30051, which is somewhat normal. The B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Hitch w/ Slider # BWRVK3770 that fits your 2019 Chevy Silverado 3500 will not have the same type of gap, as this is a much, much, much better hitch. It may have a very slight gap, but it would be one that you would be able to put a piece of paper through and not much more, which...

  • Using a 2016 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 to Tow 40 Foot Keystone Destination Trailer
  • You will need to consult laws and regulations in your area for that information. However, I am unaware of any law that would prevent you from towing that trailer. I do suggest you ensure that you have a properly equipped tow vehicle to do this safely, including a Weight Distribution System. Something such as the Curt TruTrack, # C17501 for a 2" x 2" trailer hitch receiver that is rated for use with weight distribution systems. This has a 2-5/16" Ball included. Or, the Equal-i-zer Weight...

  • What Can be Done to Help Rock Tamers Bolts Keep From Loosening
  • What you can do to keep the Rock Tamers Heavy-Duty, Adjustable Mud Flap System for 2" Hitches # ERT00108 from loosening up - along with torquing to spec - is apply some Loctite Blue Stick Threadlocker # LT37614. The Loctite Blue # LT37614 will help secure the bolts and keep them from loosening, but won't permanently affix them so the bolts will still be removable if need be. Just keep in mind it takes a full 24 hours for the Loctite to fully set.
