Expert Answers about Chevrolet Silverado 3500


  • Is Sliding Hitch Needed to Tow 5th Wheel RV With 2022 Chevy Silverado 3500

  • Parts Needed For Installing 5TH Wheel Hitch On a 2015 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 With Flat Bed
  • With your 2015 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 having a flat bed you would need the Curt Universal Fifth Wheel Base Rails # C16200 to mount the Andersen Ultimate 5TH Wheel Hitch # AM3200.

  • Air Helper Springs and Air Compressor for a 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 3500
  • The best air bag suspension system for your 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 is going to be the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Springs # AL57341.

  • Recommended Weight Distribution Hitch For A Travel Trailer With A Tongue Weight Between 450 And 575

  • Will The Edge Pulsar V3 L5P Inline Tuner Help With Fuel Economy On My 2021 Chevrolet Silverado 3500

When using this tuner you will gain full control over the pulsar including power level adjustment, transmission slip protection on/off, EGT backdown adjustment, high idle adjustment, and throttle sensitivity adjustment.

  • Availability of 3.5K Axle With 60" Length

The spindle isn't a straight spindle but it sits around the 1-1/16" diameter and the replacement bearing kit is part # BK2-100 (for when you need to perform maintenance). If you're wanting to stick with a traditional-style axle then you'll need to speak with a local shop about having...
