Expert Answers about Chevrolet Silverado


  • Hardware Kit for Westin Sportsman Grille Guard on 2003 Chevy Silverado 1500
  • If the grille guard you have is a Westin Sportsman Grille Guard part # 40-1175 for your 2003 Chevy Silverado 1500 the hardware kit you'd need is the part # 40-117PK. You should note that the guards and the hardware are vehicle specific so you can't use a new hardware kit to adapt a different guard to your truck.

  • Fifth Wheel Hitch Replacement for Husky 16K 5th Wheel Hitch in 2011 Chevy Silverado
  • The rails you have installed in the bed of your 2011 Chevy Silverado 3500HD are considered industry standard fift wheel rails which means they basically will fit all fifth wheel hitches. I would go with the Reese 22k Fifth Wheel HItch part # RP30033 as it will fit your rails and has a great jaw design which will give you a quiet ride. Reese has a great reputation in the RV community as well.

  • Plug-And-Play Trailer Connector for 2005 Chevy Silverado
  • A 5 pole round connector is really rare, with the 7-way, 6-way and 4-pole flat being the most common. Most trucks that come with an OEM trailer connector will come with a 7-way. A 6-way is sometimes found on horse trailers, and a 4-pole is the basic connector used for smaller trailers that supplies lighting circuits only. I've edited a photo for you showing an example of the plug and socket (or trailer and vehicle ends) of each of these connectors. I'd recommend fitting your truck out...

  • Can the Stallion Wheel Lock Be Keyed Alike

  • Available 5th Wheel Adapter for 2008 Chevy Silverado 3500 with 8 Foot Bed and Aftermarket Prep Pkg
  • According to everything I'm seeing, the 2008 Chevy Silverado 3500 did not come with factory pucks, so this is most likely going to be an aftermarket type puck kit. If the pucks have a gooseneck installed and are installed in the same manner as the 2016-2019 Chevy Silverado 3500 with OEM Prep Package then you can use the Demco 5th Wheel Rail Adapter for Chevy/GMC OEM 5th Wheel Towing Prep Package - 8' Bed - 21K # DM6206. You would want to confirm that this kit was installed with the same...

The B&W Custom Mounting Brackets for Patriot 5th Wheel Above Bed Base Rails # BWRVR2500 are available separately from the base rails # BWRVR3210.

  • 4-Way and 7-Way Recommendation for 2002 Chevy Silverado that Didn't Come with Factory Wiring
  • Our understanding was that every 2002 Chevy Silverado came with a 7-way from the factory. Which then all you would need for both a 4-way and a 7-way would be the part # HM40975. You would want to look for a round connector under the rear of your truck for this to plug in to. If for some reason you didn't have that or it got removed what you could do is install a 4-way with the # 119250KIT which is a universal kit and then converting it to a 7-way with the part # 37185.

  • Availability of a Red LED Chevrolet Emblem to Mount to a 2002 Chevrolet Silverado
  • I have a solution for you. The Reese Chevrolet Bowtie LED Lighted Emblem, # RP86618, might be the product that you are needing. The light-up emblem uses heavy-duty tape to install on the rear tailgate of a Chevy truck. However, you may be able to modify the light to install on the front grill of your vehicle. You will need an electrical tester like # PTW2993 to find the correct wiring at the front end of your truck to tap into the wiring to send power to the emblem. As for a light that...

  • How to Pick Out Replacement Leaf Springs for Older Komfort Fifth Wheel
  • In order to pick out the correct springs we need a couple pieces of information. The length of the spring without a load on it and the axle capacity needed. Your springs being totally flat does indicate that you need to replace them but I would need to know the unloaded length from spring eye to spring eye and then the axle capacity. Jack the trailer up so that the spring no longer has a load on it and measure it. Subtract around 3/4 of an inch since springs flatten and stretch out over...

  • Is There an Aftermarket GM Prep Package Available for a 2012 Chevrolet Silverado 2500
  • The under bed puck systems are actually going to attach to the frame so the key thing here is the 2012 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 frame. I have a couple options for you depending on what you have going on in your truck bed already. If you do not already have holes in your bed for the prep system but instead just have the indentions where the holes would go then I recommend the Under-Bed Rail and Installation Kit for Reese Elite Series 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # RP30868. This is not going...

  • Are There Replacement Brakes Compatible with a Mobile Home Axle
  • The Electric Trailer Brake Assembly # AKEBRK-7R-D could potentially work on a mobile home axle, but it would depend on your axle. Not all mobile home axles are going to be the same and most will not be compatible with the # AKEBRK-7R-D. Mobile homes are typically designed for very limited use before components degrade with failure potential, this makes finding replacement parts very difficult. Often times mobile home axles have the brake backing plate welded directly to the axle tubing...

  • Can Westin E-Series Round Nerf Bars Be Installed on Lifted Trucks
  • Westin does not offer tube step adapter kits for lifted trucks like your 2004 Chevrolet Silverado. However, you can still install tube steps like # 23-1680 on your extended cab Silverado that has a 3-inch body lift; the steps will just be 3-inches higher than usual relative to the ground since they mount to the rocker panels.

There are manual mirrors, electric adjustment mirrors, and heated mirrors. If your truck factory mirrors never had one or any of those options (heat, electric adjust, and so on) then you will not be able to upgrade by adding mirrors that have those functions. All of these mirrors are custom fit and should...

  • Front Trailer Hitch Receiver for a 2001 Chevy Silverado 1500 Light Duty or Heavy Duty
  • If your 2001 Chevy Silverado is a Light Duty model we have a couple of front mount hitches that will fit the Curt # 31302. If it was a 1500 Heavy Duty model then you would use # 65028 or # 31108. The differences between the LD and HD models of the 1500 require different hitches for each.
