Your 2005 GMC Sierra 3500, if you can handle a towing rating of 16K then I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class V XD - 2" # C15312. If you need the larger capacity then you will need the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class V Commercial Duty - 2-1/2" # C15703 but you will use a different ball mount or likely weight distribution system shank for this hitch.
For your wiring, I recommend the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness for Factory Tow Package... view full answer...
The 12 volt accessory circuit of your 7-way does need to be active for the Curt Echo Mobile # C51180. There must have been a short from a different circuit to this circuit on your 7-way that was allowing it to power on earlier. It's actually really interesting that this happened. I would see if maybe your running light circuit is shorting out to it or something else that could have been on the other day.
You'll want to run 10 gauge wire like part # 10-1-1 (sold by foot) through a breaker... view full answer...
I would be happy to help you find the correct replacement bearing kit for the single disc brake axle on your 2000 Boat Mate trailer, but unfortunately we do not have a break down of which bearings were used on a specific trailer.
To determine the correct replacement bearing kit you will need to find which bearings your hubs currently use. The easiest way to do this is by removing one of your hubs and looking for the bearing number stamped in the face of each of the bearings as shown in... view full answer...
In regards to your 2013 Chevrolet Silverado, if you will be removing the auxiliary transmission cooler then I recommend using the Derale Series 9000 Plate-Fin Transmission Cooler Kit part # D13614 to replace it. This cooler measures 11" wide x 11-3/8" tall x 1-1/4" deep which you should have plenty of space for. In general we recommend that you install the supplemental transmission cooler in-line the factory transmission cooler (in radiator) and the auxiliary transmission cooler (behind... view full answer...
We have a replacement side seal for the Bakflip G2 you have. For that you'd want the part # PARTS-326A0011. I attached a picture that shows what seals this replaces. view full answer...
I have a solution for your Stepside model 1999 Chevy Silverado 1500. Unfortunately, the only mats we carry are designed for non-stepside models of 1999 Chevy Silverado 1500. With that being said, you will be able to trim/cut these mats for a customized fit for your bed without wheel wells.. For this route, I recommend the Westin Custom Fit Truck Bed Mat - Rubber - Black # 50-6175 (for 6-1/2 foot beds) or the DeeZee Custom-Fit Truck Bed Mat # DZ86886 (for 8-foot beds). Both of these mats... view full answer...

This hitch has 14 inches of travel front to back and automatically moves when making turns to give you adequate clearance. This hitch won't require you to get out of your truck to hit a lever and then slowly move forward or backwards to get the hitch to lock in position so you can turn... view full answer...
Installing an additional transmission cooler in-line with the current transmission cooler would help in cooling the transmission fluid. The item you selected, the Derale Series 8000 Plate-Fin Transmission Cooler Kit, part # D13502, would be a good choice as it will fit your 2010 Chevy Silverado 1500.
To install Part # D13502, you will also need the Derale Snap-In Radiator Adapter Fitting, part # D13035. I would recommend finding a spot in front of the radiator, behind the front grille... view full answer...
The trailer hitch I recommend for a 2008 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 is the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 13322 which has a factory like fit and finish at half the price. The capacities will also meet or exceed that of the factory trailer hitch as well.
Please note, we only offer aftermarket trailer hitch solutions not factory options. view full answer...
The base plates that fit specific vehicles can't be adapted to other vehicle by just swapping out a portion of it. You'll need an all new base plate kit that fits your 2000 Chevy Silverado 1500 like the Roadmaster # 131-8.
For lighting you can use the diode kit, # RM-15267, and not have to worry about cutting into the taillight housing. This will splice into your taillight wiring to allow your tow vehicle to control the taillight assemblies of the towed vehicle. This comes with a round... view full answer...
The Tekonsha Prodigy P2 Trailer Brake Controller part # 90885 with the Tekonsha Plug-In Wiring Adapter for Electric Brake Controllers part # 3015-P is what I recommend for a 2005 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 over the Curt TriFlex Trailer Brake Controller part # C24VV with the Curt Custom Wiring Adapter for Trailer Brake Controllers part # C51352.
The Curt TriFlex and Tekonsha Prodigy are both good options with similar features but the Prodigy is much more proven and has been around longer. view full answer...
The K Source Custom Towing Mirrors # KS62093-94G that you referenced are confirmed to fit your 2013 Chevy Silverado and will plug right into the mirror harness of your vehicle that has the turn signal functions so that the turn signals of the tow mirror will function just like your factory mirrors.
These mirrors were designed to work with the turn signals of your truck, and as long as your old mirrors have turn signals these mirrors will fit and work just fine. view full answer...
I attached a help article that details everything that is required for adding electric over hydraulic brakes to a trailer.
Since you have brakes on your trailer currently you will be able to reuse the brake lines, but you will need to replace the hubs, brake assemblies, and actuator. The first key piece of info will be determining the spindle you have on your trailer currently so that we can build a setup for your trailer based on that. That is covered in the article I attached as well.

In order to install a Reese or Pro Series 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch like part PS30093 on a 2014 Ford F-150 you'll need the Reese Quick-Install Custom Installation Kit part # RP50081-58 or if you already have Reese rails just the Reese Quick-Install Custom Bracket Kit part # RP50081.
In regards to turning clearance, if you don't have the budget for a rotating pin box then you could probably get by with converting the fixed hitch to a slider using the Reese Fifth Wheel Slider part # RP50024. view full answer...
If the transmission fluid temperature gets over 200 degrees Fahrenheit then you are reducing the life of the transmission so yes, I do recommend adding an additional larger transmission cooler. In regards to engine oil temperature, 235 degrees Fahrenheit is pretty normal, maybe a tad high. The Derale Combination Transmission and Engine Oil Cooler part # D15903 for GM or part # D15902 for all others would be a great addition helping with both engine oil and transmission fluid. view full answer...
If I were you I would go with a jounce style suspension enhancement like part # SSR-209-40 instead of the air kits. The air kits work well but they require constant monitoring of air pressure and have slightly more difficult installs.
The SuperSprings also tend to have a smoother unloaded ride quality than the Timbrens that are very popular as well. view full answer...
To install a fifth wheel hitch in the bed of your 2008 Chevy Silverado all you need is a fifth wheel rail kit.
One route is to go with a universal kit like the part # RP30035 that has been confirmed as a fit for your truck. Or you can go with a custom install kit that will minimize drilling and install time like the part # RP50064-58. This would be the route I would recommend.
I attached an install video for you to check out as well. view full answer...
The fifth wheel hitch I recommend for your 2012 Silverado 2500 is the Demco Hijacker Autoslide, part # DM8550034. This hitch slides automatically so you do not have to manually operate a slider. It gives you an additional 14 inches of clearance for executing turns. It slides toward the tailgate when you make a turn and then returns when you straighten out.
The installation kit you need is part # DM8552011-71. This kit requires no drilling into the truck frame when installing.

There is not a 2 inch receiver available for a 2011 Impala. Only the 1-1/4 inch options like the Draw-Tite # 36407 and the Curt # C12252. Both of these hitches have a rated tongue weight of 300 lbs and towing capacity of 3500 lbs, so even with the smaller receiver, they can still handle some weight and are usable for light-duty towing.
If you will be using this hitch receiver for towing, I recommend the Class II Drawbar 3-1/8" Rise (Kit) # 36061 along with the 2 inch hitch ball like... view full answer...
