We do indeed have two tow dollies that will work for your 2008 Chevy Uplander, both from Demco:
- Demco Kar Kaddy SS Tow Dolly # DM9713045
- Demco Kar Kaddy X Tow Dolly # DM9713093
Both dollies have a 4,800 lb capacity, which is enough for your '08 Uplander, and are able to tow vehicles with tread widths of 76" and 78", respectively, which is wide enough for your Uplander's 72" tread width.
So not only do both dollies have the capacities and width needed for your Uplander, they are... view full answer...
Yes it can! You'll need an additional crossbar piece, but the Nighthawk tow bar can fit crossbar-style base plates, you'll just need to add a quick disconnect in order to attach to the crossbar-style.
The correct parts to make this work are the following:
- Roadmaster Nighthawk All Terrain, Non-Binding Tow Bar w/ LED Lights # RM-676
- Replacement Quick Disconnect Crossbar Assembly # 910021-00
This will give you the best possible option for a tow bar, for a few different reasons. It... view full answer...
Draw-Tite Class III hitch # 75278 is a confirmed fit on the 2008 Chevy Uplander with 113-inch wheelbase. I verified this with Draw-Tite. This particular hitch fits all styles of this vehicle year/make/model.
An installation video for this item is linked for you along with a helpful article.
For a 4-pole wiring harness to power trailer lights (or a lighted hitch cover like # RP86530) you can use plug-and-play harness kit # 118396. For a towing kit with ball mount and hitch balls use part... view full answer...
The Pack Em' Ladder Rack part # PK-28WL can be mounted to just about anything with the right hardware. Typically they are designed to attach to the Pack Em' Rails part # PK-BM In your case I would be concerned with the strength of the steel you were mounting to. If you were to reinforce those areas to ensure that your hardware would not pull out you can use them where you want.
You will notice on these that there are brackets that point towards the mounting surface to go around the rails.... view full answer...
I did some research on your 2007 Chevrolet Uplander and found that the maximum recommended towing capacity for this vehicle is 3,500 pounds. If your trailer is 2,600 pounds empty, you would be limited to 900 pounds or less of cargo. If 900 pounds of cargo sounds about right, you will need to check your hitch capacities and make sure it is capable of towing 3,500 pounds. You may find that a weight distribution system is needed to safely tow the maximum capacity with your vehicle.

I spoke with my contact at Curt and she stated that, technically, Chevy stopped making an Uplander for the US market in 2008 so there is no 2009 model. They did continue to make them for the Canadian market which is why the Tech Tip states the hitch is for that market.
However, she stated that as long as your 2009 Uplander has the 121 inch wheelbase, the Curt Hitch, # 13336 will fit. If yours does not have a 121 inch wheelbase, or you are not certain, she stated you could use Curt Hitch... view full answer...
For your 2008 Chevy Uplander, I recommend the Draw-Tite Class III Max Frame Receiver Hitch # 75278. This Class III hitch is confirmed to fit your vehicle and has more than enough capacity to pull your 1,000 pound trailer with inflatables. It will provide you with a 2 inch receiver that will work great with a ball mount for towing or other accessories such as a bike rack that you may want to use down the line.

Thank you for your purchase of Firestone Coil-Rite Air Helper Springs # F4155 for your 2008 Chevrolet Uplander.
I suggest your mechanic begin his troubleshooting at the bag that deflated. If he inflates the bag to about 30-psi (near its 35-psi maximum) and applies soapy water to all connection points and the bag surface too he can check for air leaks. It is not necessary to remove the system from the Uplander to do this testing. The same test can be done wherever he can access the air... view full answer...
Thanks for your recent purchase!
The issue you are having is common on Chevy Uplanders because of the multiplex wiring system. Due to the low voltage at the stop light switch, you will want to tap the red wire from your brake controller # 5504 into the high mount stop light wire coming out of the BCM.
On your BCM (body control module) the wire that operates the high mount stop lamp is typically the white wire coming from pin location 30. Take a look at the help article I attached that... view full answer...
If you have factory rails that run front to back, I recommend the Evo Raised Rail Feet # TH710401 and 53" WingBar Evo Crossbars # TH711420. This Thule load bar will work with the Curt roof mounted cargo basket # C18115 you referenced because it is less than 3-inches in width. The Curt cargo basket # C18115 requires crossbar spacing of 15, 22 or 29-inches
On the other hand, if your 2008 Chevy Uplander doesn't have existing rails or crossbars, we currently don't offer any roof racks.

All of the 2006 Chevy Uplanders used the same transmission so the transmission cooler part # D13502 that you referenced would fit and work well. You would also want the adapter part # D13035 to make the install a bit easier as well. view full answer...
We have a T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4 Pole Trailer Connector, part # 118396, for the 2005 Chevy Uplander that would make installation a breeze. If you are hard wiring in a wiring harness, you can use a circuit tester like part # PTW2993, to identify each wire. Be very careful in making sure the wiring harness you have is correct for your vehicle, as using an incorrect one could damage the electrical system and possibly the computer in your vehicle. view full answer...
I spoke with my contact at CR Brophy and the Trailer D-Ring Tie Down, Recessed 5K, item # RR05, is Zinc plated to resist rust and corrosion. I also inquired about the backing plate, item # BP05, for the D-Ring tie downs and it is also Zinc plated. view full answer...
I believe your dealer might be mistaken. According to the 2008 Uplander owners manual, the roof rack has a capacity of 150 lbs. This information is found on page 2-60. This assumes that your rails are factory installed from Chevy.
Rightline makes some excellent rooftop cargo bags in an 15 cubic foot (# RL100S20) or 10 cubic foot (# RL100R50) capacity. Although these and many other bags can attach to the side rails, we typically recommend you seriously consider installing crossbars to provide... view full answer...
When you install a supplemental transmission cooler in a vehicle you want it to be downstream of the factory cooler in the radiator. When we installed a cooler in similar Uplander as yours we found that the return line (the one to use for installation), was the one nearest the radiator cap.
To verify which line to use you can go out to your vehicle when it is cold and start it up, put it in gear and while holding the brakes raise the rpms by pressing the accelerator slightly. Quickly turn... view full answer...
I am sorry you are having a problem with your brake controller wiring. My initial reaction is that there is a ground issue from the odd readings you are getting from the wires under the dash. Start with no trailer attached. Make sure that all of the grounds you have hooked up are solid and clean.
If that does not work, then I would go to the connection right at the brake pedal and test the wires coming out there. One of these wires should provide no voltage until the brake is pressed and... view full answer...
The removable tray seen in the customer submitted pictures of the Rampage center console part # RA39923 does not come with this. In the pictures you can see that the tray is too big to fit in the console as well so it wouldn't be a great fit. It is a really great and well made console that you could reverse if you really wanted to. view full answer...
I have a possible solution for you.
First, though, the Curt 2 Bike Platform Rack - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Frame Mount - Tilting # C18085, will not work with your ElliptiGO 8C. The reason is because your bike doesn't have any tubes to latch onto, and the wheels are not large enough for a wheel-mount.
Instead, you will need to use a fork-mount on your roof. For a single one of these, we have the SeaSucker Talon Roof Bike Rack, part # 298-BT1004. This uses suction to attach to your roof,... view full answer...
We definitely carry that harness! That is the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 118396. This harness is confirmed to fit a 2006 Chevy Uplander. I went ahead and attached an installation video that walks you through the process. view full answer...
