The first thing you will want to check is simply how you're actually testing the Tekonsha Prodigy P2 Brake Controller # 90885 on your Silverado with the trailer hooked up. This is a proportional controller, meaning it will send back an amount of power to the trailer brakes proportionate to the rate of deceleration on the vehicle. If you are testing the unit with the truck and trailer parked, it's going to send back very minimal (if any) power back to the brakes when stepping on the brake... view full answer...
A transmission cooler is a really great idea for your Dad's truck as the temperature range you mentioned is too hot to allow a transmission to survive very long. I'd recommend the Derale part # D13504 as it's a plate fin cooler which is one of the most efficient styles and is larger at 11" Wide x 12" tall x 7/8" deep so it's going to do a really great job reducing the temperatures to a much safer range.
For an adapter to fit the truck's radiator to make the install of the cooler easy... view full answer...
There is only one tonneau cover that can fit with the Thule TracRac sliding ladder racks like the part # TH43002XT-608 you mentioned for your 2013 Chevy Silverado with a 5-1/2 foot bed and that is the BAK Revolver # BAK65VR since it mounts and operates far enough between the bed rails.
For any other tonneau cover that fits between the bed rails you'd have to use the Adarac ladder rack # A4001014 which would fit what you have currently. view full answer...
We have a version of the Curt MV WD system part # C17062 that you referenced which doesn't come with a ball which then allows you to add the size needed to your order. For that you'd want the # C17052 and the Curt ball # 40038 which is a 2 inch hitch ball that also has the correct shank dimensions to fit this system. Then to add on the sway control unit you'd also want the part # 17200. view full answer...
Thanks for the pictures!
I ran those by some veteran guys at the office and we're drawing a blank on I.D.ing that system. However weight distribution heads and parts are all brand and model specific so there's no way to 100% get the correct parts.
With that said don't worry, it's best to get the correct weight distribution hitch based on the Total Tongue weight of your trailer and not just piece together what you have, so we'll get you something that's going to be perfect for your specific... view full answer...
The 12V PWM Filter for RV Backup Camera Systems - Hardwire # VGR64VR is not going to solve your low-voltage issue on your 2000 Chevrolet Silverado as vehicle's that are older than 5 or so years old aren't going to have pulse modulation.
With that being said, since you're having low-voltage issues that's going to indicate that you have wiring issues and will need to refer to your wiring and check to make sure everything is good.
I recommend using a multi-meter # PT89ZR to check your wiring... view full answer...
I reached out to my contact at Bulldog and unfortunately the drop leg for the Square Jack # BD182815 is not available by itself as a replacement part. Your only option at this point is indeed to replace the entire unit with a new assembly.
I have attached a short video review on this particular jack that you can check out as well. view full answer...
I have not personally done this myself but everything that I am seeing shows that all you need to do to replace the side mirrors on a 2008 Chevrolet Silverado is remove the upper triangle shaped cover which is separate from the door panel. Therefore you would not be required to remove the door panel in order to replace the side mirror with the K-Source Replacement Side Mirror part # KS62092G. view full answer...
The replacement cover you need is the part # TX5806-COVER that you referenced since the correct Truxedo Lo Pro for your 2005 Chevy Silverado 1500 5-1/2 foot bed is the part # TX580601. The part number you found confirmed this as well! view full answer...
Reese offers a couple of different options for installing the industry standard bed rails in your truck. The # RP30035 is the universal rail kit. It's the inexpensive choice, but on the down side the install will require drilling into the truck frame and is estimated to take and average of 6 hours. The custom bracket/rail kit, part # RP50064-58 uses existing holes in the truck frame, but you will need to drill up through the bed to connect the rails to the brackets. Install time is estimated... view full answer...
The RAS systems like the # RAS4611 that fits your 2009 Chevy Silverado 1500 are really unique in that they do provide a much smoother ride quality for the truck when it is loaded and unloaded. It also improves handling as well. It won't affect ride height either unless you were to adjust a lot of spring tension into it.
You might also check to see if your shocks need to be replaced as well. view full answer...
Yes, since all Snowbear Winter Wolf plows use the same 31-inch spacing for their mounts you can use their adapter # SB324-120 to allow use in your 2-inch hitch. view full answer...
Your Demco Hijacker fwh 24pa is the older style of fifth wheel hitch from Demco that uses an older unique rail design. The rails needed for it are the part # DM6014 and then for the universal L-bracket kit you'd need the part # DM8552009 and you'd be set for your 2008 Chevy Silverado 1500 short bed. view full answer...
You will typically benefit the most from a weight distribution system on your 2013 Chevrolet Silverado if your trailer weight is more than 50 percent of your vehicle weight, or if your Silverado is sagging when the trailer is hooked up. Sway control is helpful when dealing with crosswinds or when large trucks are passing by.
The best way to find a system that is a fit for you is to know two weight ratings, the gross trailer weight which is the weight of the trailer when it is full loaded... view full answer...
For your 2002 Chevy Silverado, if you have the extended cab or crew cab I recommend the roof rack consisting of:
Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars - Aluminum - Black - 54" Long - Qty 2 # RRVA137B-2
Rhino-Rack 2500 Series Legs for Vortex Aero Crossbars # RRRLKVA
Custom DK Fit Kit # DK227
This rack is rated for up to 130 lbs. For your paddle boards I also recommend using the Inno Board Locker Surfboard Carrier - Locking - Clamp On - 3 Shortboards or 2 Longboards # INA744. This is rated... view full answer...
There isn't a formula for the wire gauge, you can simply match it up to the wire size used with this light, which is 14 gauge wire.

90 degree connectors are not available for the LED Light Strip Kit # DG52694RF, or any of our other LED light strip kits for that matter. The good news though, is that this LED strip features a clear silicone casing flexible enough to accommodate a 90 degree angle without posing any concerns as far as damage goes. view full answer...
We wouldn't be able to tell you any wires specifically, but I can give you some troubleshooting steps to go over. The first thing to do is take a look at your owner's manual to locate any trailer fuses or relays and ensure they are all there and in working order. If they are, in order to determine the specific problem you will need to purchase a circuit tester if you do not have one - the very handy Cordless Circuit Tester # PTW2979 would be my strong recommendation due to how easy it is... view full answer...
