Expert Answers about GMC Yukon

• Dimensions of the Curt Welded Weight Distribution Shank # C17123
• Since manufacturers do not test their products together I don't necessarily know if they are compatible (although most shanks are universal), but I can give you the information that you need to do some measuring on your end. The Curt Welded Weight Distribution Shank # C17123 has holes that are spaced 1-1/4" apart on center and the shank itself is 2" x 2" both on the end that inserts into your hitch receiver on your 2011 GMC Yukon Denali and on the end that connects to the WD system.

• Can 2007 GMC Yukon Flat Tow a Nissan Altima
• You'll want to check your Yukon owner's manual for its rated towing capacity since the vehicle can be equipped with different engines, transmissions, etc that will affect its towing weight capability. On the GMC website they state that the Yukon can flat tow another auto IF it is the 4WD version and has the 2-speed transfer case. To be absolutely sure you can contact your local GMC dealership with your Yukon VIN. They can look up the truck to see the exact complement of equipment it has...

• Is There A Handle on the Inside of the Full Size Locking Steel Flush Door Latch
• The Redline Full Size Locking Steel Flush Door Latch # L3980 does not have an inside handle. I have attached a photo of the back of the latch and a product review video for you. Typically, these types of door latches do not have handles on the inside. If you need a latch that has a handle on the inside you could use a latch like the Global Link RV Entry Door Latch Kit # 295-000019. I have attached a review video of this door latch for you.

• Height of Thule SnowPack Ski and Snowboard Rack Part TH7326
• I ran out to our warehouse and pulled one of the Thule SnowPack Ski and Snowboard Racks off the shelf. I found that the SnowPack carrier, item # TH7326, will extend about 6-1/2 inches above the top of the crossbars on your factory rack. Simply measure up 6-1/2 inches from the top of the factory crossbars on your Yukon, and you will have an accurate idea of how much height the Pull Top will add to your vehicle.

• What Causes a Trailer to Bounce/Porpoise on Highway
• Porpoising (bouncing like you described) and sway are both commonly caused by the same thing when towing and that is not enough tongue weight for the trailer relative to the total amount of weight the trailer weighs. You need the tongue weight to be between 10 and 15 percent of the total trailer weight for the porpoising to stop. Suspension enhancement would actually cause the bounce to be more severe so I would not recommend going that route. I'd get the tongue weight checked and also...

• What is the inner Diameter of Replacement Lift Handle for Curt Weight Distribution Systems
• I went out to the warehouse and pulled a Replacement Lift Handle for Curt Weight Distribution Systems # C17112 to measure the inner diameter. It was 0.76 inches so just a hair over 3/4 of an inch. This measurement on this and many handles can vary ever so slightly because of the powder coating. That might be why the handle you bought didn't fit (if it is a painting or coated handle).

• Will Adding a Transmission and Oil Cooler Increase the Towing Capacity of a 2014 GMC Yukon SLT
• Just adding a transmission cooler and oil cooler will not increase the towing capacity of your 2014 GMC Yukon. The towing capacity of the vehicle is pretty much set in stone. But adding coolers will certainly be beneficial to you and help protect the transmission and motor for excessive heat. I recommend a combination cooler # D15902 so that you can have one unit that can be used for both fluids. I also recommend fitting # D13035 to avoid having to cut and flare transmission lines.

• How Far Back on the Trailer Frame Do the Brackets Install for a Reese Weight Distribution System
• In order to install a Weight Distribution System, the distance from the center of the ball to the end of the bracket requires a minimum of 33 inches. In some cases, tongue modification or relocation of items such as LP tanks or Batteries, etc. may need to be done to install the system. Or, if that is not an option you could install Reese Chain Hangers # RP58305. These will install onto the outsides of the trailer frame and would not interfere with anything above the trailer frame. I...

• Best Available Transmission Cooler For A 2012 GMC Yukon
• It is certainly possible for you to add an additional transmission cooler to your factory OEM cooler. In most cases, the best cooler for your application will prove to be the largest available that will fit in the designated space. Fortunately, you have a good amount of room to mount an even larger cooler in front of the radiator behind the grill. The most efficient cooler for you vehicle would be the Derale Transmission Coolers part # D13504. You will also need the Yukon Hose adapter...

• Will Weight Distribution System Rated at 1,200 Pound Tongue Weight be Enough for 8,500 Pound Trailer
• Weight distribution systems are not specific to the vehicle but need to be rated for the tongue weight of the trailer. Since your eaz-lift is rated for 1,200 pounds it will likely work for your trailer. The best way to find out is to use a tongue weight scale, # e99044 to determine the tongue weight of your trailer. Also for weight distribution you need to factor in the amount of weight that is stored behind the rear axle of your 2004 GMC Yukon and add that to the trailer's tongue weight. As...

• Why is There a Weight Distribution Towing Capacity on my 2007 GMC Yukon
• If you are unfamiliar with weight distribution systems check out the links I provided of the FAQ article and video on weight distribution systems. Some vehicles and hitches will have two different towing capacities, one for without a weight distribution system and one for with a weight distribution. Since these systems help vehicles carry the weight of a trailer more evenly on your vehicle axles the rating for with a WD system will be higher than without. Generally speaking you will want...

• Do I Need Resistors When Installing the Optronics LED Backup Light item # BUL52CB?
• No, you shouldn't need a resistor like item # DI34ZR when installing the Optronics LED Backup Light for Trucks or Trailers item # BUL52CB. I say shouldn't because if you're installing these lights on a trailer your tow vehicle should supply plenty of power for them to function correctly. If you're installing these on a vehicle for additional lighting you will most likely need one on each light. To install the Optronics LED Backup Light item # BUL52CB you will want to use the PVC Grommet...
