  • Leland 7921 Compatibility with Sliding Hitch in 2013 Chevy Silverado 1500 with 5 Foot 8 Inch Bed
  • With your 2013 Chevy Silverado, the 5 foot 8 inch short bed truck won't be enough even with your pin box and super glide. If you had the 6-1/2 foot bed you'd be just fine but that 5 foot 8 inch bed requires a solid hitch and a Sidewinder because there simply isn't enough travel with the slider to give you the needed clearance. I recommend the Sidewinder Fifth Wheel King Pin with Rotating Turret by 5th Airborne, 16K # ST400-5AS16K to replace your Leland 7921 pin box. This will use a wedge...

  • Compatibility of the Mad-Ramps Pivoting Ramp System # MR54FR with 10 Ft. Wheelbase Golf Cart
  • While we have a great ramp set you can use, the Mad-Ramps Pivoting Ramp System # MR54FR will not work with your 10' (120") wheelbase on your Advance EV golf cart. This is because the # MR54FR only accommodates wheelbases up to 88" measured from the center of the front axle to the center of the rear axle. As a great alternative, I recommend using a ramp set like the Arched Loading Ramp # 288-07452-2. This ramp set has a maximum weight capacity of 1,500 pounds and folds for easy storage....

  • Class V Trailer Hitch for 2005 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 with 6-1/2-Foot Box
  • Yes, the Curt Class V hitch # C15302 is a confirmed fit on your 2005 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 with the 6-1/2-foot box as long as it has the factory bumper. This hitch bolts on using the included hardware kit and no drilling is needed to mount it. Wiring kits for the truck are linked for you in case you also need a 4-pole like # C55384 or a 7-way like # C56070, both of which connect using a round U.S. Car type connector like what's shown in the included photo.

  • Will Heated Towing Mirrors Work if OEM Mirrors Didnt Have Heat on 2004 Chevy Silverado 2500HD
  • There are power towing mirrors that will fit your 2004 Chevy Silverado 2500HD but the mirrors will only support the functions your truck already has. For example, the K-Source Custom Extendable Towing Mirror # KS62076GE and # KS62075GE that fit your truck are powered and heated, but the heat function would not be added to your mirrors, they would only be powered. You can still use these mirrors as replacements though there is also the option of the CIPA Magna Custom Extendable Towing...

  • Replacement Mounting Hardware for Westin Sportsman Grille Guard on 2000 Chevy Silverado 1500
  • Thank you for the photo, and though I agree that it looks very similar to the Westin Sportsman Grille Guards # 40-0185 and # 45-0180 that fit your 2000 Chevy Silverado I would be unable to confirm that based solely on a photo. There would need to be some type of identifying numbers to reference to go by. If it is that model of Westin you can mount it to your 2000 Silverado with Replacement Hardware Kit for Westin Sportsman Grille Guard - New Style 40-0185 and 45-0180 # 40-018PK.

  • B&W Turnover Ball Gooseneck Hitch For a 2008 Chevy Silverado 1500 Crew Cab
  • Your 2008 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Crew Cab will require the B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch # BWGNRK1057. The Hitch # BWGNRK1059 that you found is for the previous body style that was built from 1999-2007. I recommend using the 4" Offset Ball # BWGNXA4085 as it will gain you some additional turning clearance. And the Hopkins Endurance 5th Wheel/Gooseneck 90-Degree Wiring Harness # 41157 will allow you to add a 7-way connector in your bed. This will help prevent damage...

  • Red Light Not Illuminating On Hayes Syncronizer Trailer Brake Controller in 2002 Chevy Silverado
  • The red light of the Hayes Syncronizer Trailer Brake Controller part # HA81725 should only illuminate when the vehicle's brakes are depressed which activates the trailer brakes. If your not getting the red light when you depress the brake pedal it doesn't sound like the brake controller has power. It sounds like you are using the hayes brake controller adapter wire part # HA81781-HBC, you may want to check the fuses in the Chevy to make sure all of the factory tow package fuses are present....

  • How to Find the Correct Bearings, Seals, and Bearing Buddies for Trailer
  • It would certainly make things easier if there was a way to find the correct bearings and seals without taking it apart, but that's really the only way. You'll need to look at the bearings themselves; wipe away the grease and you should be able to see the part number stamped directly on them. If you are unable to find them, you would need to use a digital caliper such as # PTW80157 and measure your spindle to the thousandths of an inch where the bearings ride. As for brakes, those are...

  • Can Reese 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch From 2011 Chevy Silverado be Used on 2015 Chevy Silverado 2500
  • The Reese 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # RP30047 referenced in your question is compatible with standard above-bed base rails. As long as you have standard rails installed on your new 2015 Chevy Silverado 2500, your existing hitch can absolutely be transferred to this truck. If you do not already have base rails installed on the new truck, I recommend the Reese Quick-Install Custom Base Rails and Installation Kit # RP50066-58. These rails and brackets are actually custom-designed to fit your...

  • Installation Instructions for the Agility Electric Brake Controller on a 2010 Chevy Silverado Crew
  • Brake controllers are not vehicle specific, so you can use the Hopkins Agility Electric Brake Controller, # HM47294, or any other brake controller, with your 2010 Chevy Silverado. You will just need to hardwire the brake controller wiring to the truck wiring. The wire colors could be, but not always, Red/Black, connects to the black wire on the brake controller. White, connects to white on the brake controller. Light Blue/White, connects to red on the brake controller. Dark blue, connects...

  • Front Mount Hitch for 2020 Ford F350
  • The # 65022 you'd looked at isn't a fit for the 2020 Ford F350, I'd recommend going with the Draw-Tite # 65076 which is a fit. The answer to your question will really depend on which mounting system you go with and where it mounts to the vehicle. As you can see from the linked installation instructions and video, the # 65076 mounts to the inside and the underside of the front frame rails, so if the kit you're interested in occupies those areas, the two won't be compatible.
