Expert Answers about Chevrolet Suburban


  • Can the Race Ramps Racer Chock # RR-RC-5 be Used Under the Front or Rear Wheels
  • The Race Ramps Racer Chock # RR-RC-5 can be used for your front or your rear wheels depending on what works best for your application, but these have a 1,500 lb weight capacity so they wouldn't be the best choice for launching your boat. Instead I recommend using the Race Ramps Wheel Chocks # RR-WC. These are a little bigger and I confirmed with my contact at Race Ramps that when they are used for what you are talking about they can support about 20,000 lbs.

  • How to Install a Tekonsha Primus IQ Brake Controller in a 2014 Chevy Suburban

  • Prodigy RF Brake Controller Will Not Pair with a 2014 Chevy Suburban
  • There are a few things you can try to get the unit to pair. First, If you do not see displayed what the instructions say just keep going through the steps. Sometimes it will not display what it is supposed to but it will still work if you go through the steps to completion. If that does not work then you can try taping off the pin in the 5 oclock position at the back of the RF (where the trailer plugs into) using electrical tape. Then go through the installation process. If that doesn't...

  • In What Orientation do the Air Lift 100 Air Helper Springs Get Installed on a 2003 Chevy Suburban
  • When the suspension is under load it won't matter whether or not the air bag is in the top or the bottom of the spring. The pictures you are referring to are showing the air spring in the coil spring with the suspension unloaded and stretched out. Under normal circumstances with the truck on the ground the spring will be almost or actually touching on the top and bottom in the coil spring. All that really matters is that you install the bag with the valve pointing up and protector on top...

  • Bolt Hole Dimensions of Demco Spare Tire Carrier DM15851-76
  • When we measured the bolt hole distance, we found that they were 4-1/2" apart on center for the Demco Spare Tire Carrier for up to 4" Trailer Tongue - Black # DM15851-76. As far as vertically, that actually doesn't matter as much, and the reason is, while it comes with 5-1/2" long, 1/2" bolts that will definitely fit a 4" tube, you can use longer or shorter bolts, they just need to be the same 1/2" diameter.

  • The Firestone Coil-Rite Air Helper Springs part # F4108 which are a fit for a 2010 Chevrolet Suburban without auto-level suspension have a minimum pressure of 5 psi and a maximum pressure of 25 psi according to Firestone.

  • Trailer Brake Controller Not Working on 2007 Chevrolet Suburban

  • Hardwiring in a Trailer Brake Controller on a 1996 Chevy Suburban
  • The 1996 Chevy Suburban does not have any tow package wires or a plug to plug in a brake controller. You will need to hardwire in the controller. If you just need the red wire for the brake input, then to find it you will need to use a circuit tester such as # PTW2993. You will probe the wires on the brake switch located above the brake pedal until you find the one that only has power when the brake pedal is pressed. If it has power with the headlights on or turn signals on then it is...

  • Red Screen on Curt Venturer Trailer Brake Controller
  • I checked the owner's manual for the Curt Venturer Trailer Brake Controller part # C51110, a flashing red display indicates that there is a brake circuit overload, likely caused by a short. It really didn't give any other detail aside from this so I first recommend you check to ensure the wires are hooked up correctly. The black wire goes directly to the positive battery terminal, there should be around 12 volts on this wire as it goes into the trailer brake controller. The white wire goes...

  • Installing Flood Lights on Rooftop Cargo Basket
  • The Yakima OffGrid Roof Cargo Basket # Y07138-08 can have floodlights connected directly to the basket. The method of installation is key to the warranty. If you utilize mounts that connect to the bars you will not void any warranty, but if there is drilling or altering the basket in any way, then the warranty would be void. For example, you may want to use brackets like the Yakima SnapAround Mounting Brackets # Y8810135.
