Expert Answers about Chevrolet Venture


  • T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness Part # C55355 for a 1999 Chevy Venture
  • I am assuming you are needing a T-Connector, part # C55355. The connection point is behind the trim panel on the drivers side, just behind the taillights. I will provide a link below to the installation instructions, which will explain the whole installation procedure. We also have an installation video showing the install on a 2002 Venture. The procedure would be identical to that of your 1999 model.

  • Cargo Bag Recommendation for 2008 Lexus RX 350

  • Suspension Enhancement Kit for Lighter Duty Trailer
  • For the lighter duty trailers like what you have we have Timbren kits like the part # TTRA1702 which will help to stabilize the trailer when towing and level the trailer while absorbing some of the road shock. This will allow the trailer to track better and reduce some sway. We don't have shock kits for the lighter duty trailers at this time though.

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 1999 Chevrolet Venture Behind an RV
  • For your 1999 Chevy Venture we have the Roadmaster base plate kit part # 191-1 which is a confirmed fit and would work well with the Roadmaster Tracker Tow Bar part # RM-020 that you referenced as well. For safety cables you can use # RM-643. The coiled design helps keep the cables off of the ground. 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...

  • What Ignition Position And Transmission Position For 1999 Chevy Venture To Flat Tow?
  • According to your owners manual, your 1999 Chevy Venture needs to have the transaxle in Neutral, the parking brake released, the ignition key in OFF position and steering wheel clamped in straight ahead position , with a clamping device designed for towing service. Do not use the vehicle's steering column lock for this. (page 5-9 of Owner's Manual) For that clamp, I recommend the Pedal to Wheel Vehicle Lock by Club # WICL303RED.

  • Troubleshoot Trailer Wiring Lights Not Active Installed Curt T-Conenc # C55355 on 2002 Chevy Venture
  • The Curt trailer wiring harness part # C55355 is a confirmed fit for your 2002 Chevy Venture whether it would have the towing package or not. The connector you used to plug this kit into should be active either way. It sounds like you may have a blown fuse or relay under the hood of your van which is causing the power not to be present.

  • Leaf Spring Recommendation for a Trailer to Stiffen Up Suspension that has 3,500 lb Axles
  • Regardless of the amount of leaves a leaf spring has if the capacity is the same between two of them they would both flex and bottom out the same. I would recommend you have your trailer and boat weighed so that you know whether or not you are overloading the trailer/leaf springs. You should note that going to a heavier spring won't necessarily give your trailer a higher weight rating, just a higher spring rating. For a higher rated spring you would want the part # e28SR as it has a...

  • Can Second Axle be Added to Enclosed Snowmobile Trailer
  • You can add a second axle to your SnoPro Hybrid Snowmobile Trailer but there are a couple of things you will want to keep in mind before proceeding. Adding a second axle will definitely help with distributing your load better but it won't actually increase the overall weight capacity of the trailer. This is simply because a trailer will always be limited by its weakest link, meaning that even if your axle capacity might increase, the trailer frame itself is likely still rated for less...

  • Recommended Derale Transmission Cooler for 2005 Chevy Venture Towing 1700 lb Tent Trailer
  • As a first step, you'll want to consult your owners manual to ensure you're not exceeding the towing or cargo capacity of your van. When choosing a transmission cooler, you'll usually want to choose the largest cooler that will fit in the space available (unless you live in a very cold climate.) The ideal spot to mount a cooler is directly behind the grille, in front of the radiator and a/c condenser. The # D13503 is a bit larger, and if you have the room to accommodate it's 11x8-3/4x7/8...

  • Setting Up a 2004 Chevrolet Venture to Tow a 2,500 Pound Camper with Trailer Brakes
  • Suspension supplements like the Timbren kits we carry may or may not be needed. At 2,500 pounds dry you should be within the tow capacity of the Venture. If your total trailer weight is close to the limit of the van, then I would suggest a suspension supplement. Since you will be towing a camper that will have pretty much the same load each time, I would suggest the Timbren Suspension Enhancement System as it will not need to be adjusted for varying loads. You would use part # TGMRREN if...

  • Can Tire Size 5.30-12 Easily Replace 4.80-12 on Trailer
  • As long as you have the clearance needed to fit a tire that's slightly taller and wider than what you currently have a 5.30-12 would work well. Your current tire size is 20.5 inches in diameter and the 5.30-12 is 21.9 inches in diameter. So this would eat up about 3/4 of an inch of your current fender clearance. Assuming that's not an issue the # AM30780 would work fine since the bolt pattern matches.

  • Availability of High Capacity Trailer Hitch that Will fit 34 inch Frame Measured From Outsides
  • I believe I may have a solution for you. The TorkLift SuperHitch Magnum Trailer Hitch Receiver # TLF1003-30 has a 30k towing capacity and is designed for cab and chassis style truck frames that are 34 inches apart measured from outside to outside. You should note that this hitch only has this rating when used with a weight distribution system like the # TLWD1000. You will need to verify that your motorhome has the same capacity and you should note that this hitch will require drilling...
