- Towing Mirrors With Heat For A 2005 Chevrolet Silverado 2500

- The 2008 GMC W4500 would not have a brake controller wiring port as it wasn't initially intended for towing. Since this is a box truck application you'd have to hardwire in a controller after installing a 4-way harness as a base for that.
For a 4-way to start you'd need a universal kit part and then convert it to a 7-way with the part # ETBC7.

- I have a solution for you but the Buyers Products Hitch Plate with Receiver Tube - Chevy/GMC item # 3371809065 will not fit your 2002 GMC W4500 Forward. You will need to use one of our universal hitches like the Draw-Tite Ultra Frame Service Body Trailer Hitch Receiver item # 41990-07.

- I have a solution for you but there isn't going to be a custom fit option for your GMC 5500 truck. You will need to have some fabrication done to install any 5th wheel hitch.
To match the capacity of your truck I recommend the Reese Low-Profile 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch item # RP30054 you were looking at. This hitch has a 30,000 lbs capacity and with your truck you will be able to pull any 5th wheel trailer on the market.
The Reese 5th wheel hitch is built to attach directly to your trucks...

view full answer... - Where to Find Brake Light Only Circuit on a 2008 GMC W4500
- Does your 2008 GMC W4500 have a third brake light (or at least the circuit for a third brake light)? That would be a better option than the regular brake lights. You can check the fuse panel for the CHMSL (center high mount stop light) fuse, if applicable, and tap into it.
The issue with using another circuit though is that if anything else is on that same circuit then the brake controller could send voltage back to the trailer brakes when you don't want it to.
Another possible option...
