Expert Answers about Chevrolet Silverado New Body


  • Can Reese 5th Wheel Under-Bed Rail Install Kit Work with Firestone Airbags on a 2007 Chevy 2500HD
  • The Reese Fifth Wheel Installation Kit # RP30061 is considered a fit for your 2007 Chevrolet Silverado, and should work with Firestone Airbag suspension enhancement. Typically the under bed mounting kits allow for utilization of the existing frame mount locations for the Firestone Airbags. The 5th wheel hitch under bed mounting kit mounts to the outside of the truck frame, and the airbag brackets typically mount on the inside of the frame. If your current Firestone Airbag System mounts...

  • Curt Front Hitch 31109 Compatibility with Minute Man 2 Snow Plow Mount
  • In most cases a front-mount hitch and a snowplow mount will install at the same points on the vehicle frame and usually they will interfere with each other. There could be a certain combination of hitch and plow that might avoid this common-mounting-point issue but it is unlikely since both items need a very strong mounting point on the vehicle in order to function. Makers of aftermarket products do not test their products fits along with other aftermarket items since there are so many...

  • How to Determine if B and W Companion Hitch Would Fit with Truck Bed Tool Box
  • I spoke to my contact at B and W and she verified that from the center of where your gooseneck ball attaches to the front of the B and W Companion Slider Gooseneck to 5th Wheel Slider part # BWRVK3400 measures 15 inches. So if you were to measure from the center of your gooseneck ball forward 15 inches you would know if this would interfere with your toolbox. You should also note that if your tool box sticks up higher than the bed rails of your truck you might see interference while making...

  • Trailer Hitch for a 2007 Chevy Silverado New Body Style with Roll Pan Bumper and Regency RST Trim
  • I have a potential solution for you but none of the hitches for the 2007 Chevy Silverado (New Body style) are designed for models with a roll pan bumper. Installation of a hitch such as # 14301 will likely require a little trimming of the roll pan. If you are willing to make those modifications then this will work. Otherwise you will need to look at weld-on hitches such as # 41990-07 or # 41990-16 in order to drop the receiver low enough to avoid having to trim the roll pan bumper. Weld-on...

  • Determining the Correct Replacement Brake Assemblies for 1996 Airstream Excella
  • To determine what size brake assemblies you have you can measure the diameter of the mounted brake shoes on the trailer or measure the inside diameter of the brake drum. I am including pictures of where to measure on the brake assembly and the brake drum. You will also want to measure the width of the brake shoe lining to get the correct width brake assembly. You will want to get the bolt pattern of the brake mounting flange on your axle and if it is a 4-bolt flange or a 5-bolt flange....

  • How To Use Reese M5 Hitch On 2007 Chevy Silverado 2500 New Body Style
  • The only way to use the Reese M5 Series 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # RP30921 on a 2007 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 (New Body Style) is to install the Under-Bed Rail and Installation Kit for Reese Elite Series 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches part # RP30061. This kit provides the same underbed pucks as the Factory Ford Prep Package so it's the only option. Otherwise, you would need a new 5th wheel hitch as there isn't an adapter. Please note, if you have a factory brake controller you will also...

  • Adapter to Go From 3 Inch Hitch of 2017 Ford F-250 to 2 inch HItch
  • If the truck you buy does have a 3-inch hitch installed on it the Buyers Products Adapter Part # 337RTA302 would be the correct adapter as it will slide into the hitch and provide you with a 2-inch hitch. A standard hitch pin that you would have for the 3-inch hitch would be all you need to secure the adapter like part # 58388. Then for a pin for the 2-inch hitch you would want the part # PC3.

  • What Derale Electra-Cool Remote Transmission Cooler Will Fit 2007 Chevy Silverado 4.8 New Body
  • The Derale # D15900 that you referenced has 8AN lines. My technical contact at Derale told me that since you have 5/16 lines on your 2007 Chevy Silverado, you should check out the Derale # D13900 because it has 5/16 lines. This is the exact same cooler as the # D15900 you referenced with the difference being the size of the lines. Transmission coolers are not necessarily fit to a vehicle - you need to measure the open area you have for the cooler and that will determine which cooler...

  • Will a Gooseneck Hitch Transfer from a 2002 to 2007 Chevy 2500HD with 6-1/2ft Bed
  • There are a few gooseneck hitches that are interchangeable between the 2002 and 2007 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD trucks, but there are some hitches out there that were updated for the new body style change in 2007. We will need to know the brand and model number of the hitch to give you a definite answer. If you find that you need a new gooseneck hitch, I recommend the B&W Turnoverball Gooseneck Hitch, # BWGNRK1067. B&W has been a top gooseneck hitch manufacturer and makes a quality product...

  • Will B&W Patriot 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Fit in Place of a 12 Year Old Husky 5th Wheel Hitch
  • The B&W Patriot # BWRVK3200 fits in industry standard above the bed rails the same as your Husky hitch so it will fit the same rails. If you never needed to use the slider then you should still have clearance using this hitch as well. It can actually be assembled so that the center of the hitch is 4 inches further away from the truck cab for additional clearance.

  • Will the Curt Class III Reciever Hitch # 13031 Fit on a 2007 Chevrolet C1500 Silverado
  • If you have the 2007 Chevrolet Silverado New Body style, then the Curt Class III Receiver Hitch, item # 13301, that you mentioned will fit on your vehicle. If you have the 2007 Chevrolet Silverado Classic body style the hitch you will need is the Curt Class III Square Tube Receiver Hitch, item # 13332, for your vehicle. This hitch has the same basic construction and the same weight capacities as the # 13301 hitch. In 2007 the Silverado was built in both body styles for an extended period,...

  • Will an Access Tonneau Cover Fit a 2007 Chevy Silverado New Body with a Spray-in Bed Liner
  • Access states that you can use the Vanish Roll-Up Tonneau Cover, # 834532007875, with a spray-in, over the rail bed liner. If it were a drop in over the rail bed liner you would have to trim the bed liner to install the cover. Spray-in bed liners will not have to be trimmed. I have included a link to all of the tonneau covers for the 2007 Chevy Silverado New Body. Just select the bed type and length to see the available options.

  • How to Disengage Brakes on a Boat Trailer While in Reverse
  • If the brake actuator on your boat trailer has an electric reverse lockout solenoid like part # T4748800 and you were using the 7-way side of the 7- and 4-Pole Trailer Connector Socket part # HM40975 then yes, the brakes would release while in reverse. However, in order to use this harness on your vehicle you will need to have a U.S. car connector plug like part # C56229 already installed. If not then you can use something like part # C57187 to release the brakes on the trailer while in...

  • Does HydraStar Disc Brake Kit With Actuator Work With 2007 Chevy Silverado Factory Brake Controller
  • The HydraStar Disc Brake Kit with Actuator for Triple Axle Trailers # HSE7K-TR1 will work with the factory brake controller of your 2007 Chevy Silverado, but you'll just need an adapter, the HydraStar Electric Over Hydraulic Actuator Adapter Module for Ford and Chevy Brake Controllers # HBA-CAM. What this adapter does is simply splice in between your trailer plug and the actuator to ensure compatibility between the actuator and brake controller. This will be all you need in order to use...

  • Will the Use of a 2-1/2 Inch to 2 inch Trailer Hitch Reducer Sleeve Reduce the Hitch Capacity
  • You have a couple of options. The best thing to do would be to use a ball mount that fits in your hitch. The reason is that you will not have to worry about a reducer sleeve fitting, any capacity reduction, or adding another component in the system. For 2-1/2 inch receivers we have # RP45323 for an 18,000 pound fixed ball mount. The other option is to use a reducer, # C45405. The hitch capacity should not be dramatically changed so if it is rated to tow the 13,000 pounds you need to tow,...

  • Is There a Gooseneck Folding Ball For a 2007 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 Which Fits Atwood Mounts
  • The Center Section # C-52 for the Curt Overbed, Folding Ball Gooseneck Trailer Hitch # C61341-52 is very close to the measurements you provided. I have included an image with the measurements for this as the front to back mounting holes are 9-3/4" on center while the side to side bolts are 10" on center. As these measurements are only 1/8" different than what you found that would be roughly 1/16" for each hole so you may be able to use the plate. Do understand it is a better idea to go...

  • Upgrading Firestone Air Bag Kit w/ Braided Air Lines
  • Since the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs item # F2430 uses the same fittings as the air lift kits you will be able to use the Air Lift Upgrade Kit for LoadLifter 5000 and LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate Air Helper Springs item # AL52300.
