• 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...

• Correct Fastway e2 Weight Distribution for 5,200 lb Horse Trailer and a 2007 Chevy Silverado 1500
• If the trailer hitch on your 2007 Chevy Silverado 1500 has an increased weight capacity to 10,500 lbs towing and 1,100 lbs tongue weight (TW) when used with a weight distribution (WD) system, and your pickup has a max towing capacity of 7,500 lbs then you can definitely use the Fastway e2 # FA94-00-0800 as long as you stay under the 7,500 lb max capacity of your pickup. Please note that a WD system's TW range includes the loaded TW of your trailer plus the weight of any cargo behind the...

• 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...

• Installing Edge CS2 Performance Tuner in 2007 Chevy Silverado
• Whichever tuner you currently have installed in your truck will have instructions on how to change it back to stock. After doing that, to install an Edge Evolution CS2 such as part # EP85350 that fits 2007 Chevy Silverado Classics with 4.8L, 5.3L and 6.0L V8 engines you only need to plug the OBDII connector into the vehicle port which is normally below the driver's side dash. I have included a link to the installation manual of this tuner for you to check out as well.

• Curt Class III Trailer Hitch that Fits 2007 Chevy Silverado 1500 New Body
• The Curt hitch part # 13339 that you referenced is not a confirmed fit for your 2007 Chevy Silverado 1500 New Body so for a similar hitch that does fit you'd want the part # 13301. The # 13339 that you referenced fits the higher payload versions of your truck that also have a deep drop bumper.

• Is Adapter Fitting 13035 Needed for Derale Cooler on 2007 Chevy Silverado 1500 New Body 4.8L V8
• Yes, the Derale Snap-In Radiator Adapter Fitting # D13035 is required for the Derale Series 8000 Plate-Fin Transmission Cooler Kit # D13503 to fit your 2007 Chevy Silverado 1500 New Body with the 4.8L V8 engine. I would imagine that plastic and metal are both viable options with the metal adapters lasting longer simply because they are stronger. Our adapter is aluminum though and we don't have a plastic option so I wouldn't be able to compare our adapter with a plastic one provided elsewhere...

• How Does The Bargman 5th Wheel/Gooseneck Wiring Retain Use Of The Rear 7-Way Plug
• The Bargman 5th Wheel/Gooseneck 90-Degree Wiring Harness for Aluminum Truck Bed part # 54701-009 does not come with a "T" but it does plug into the Fords factory fifth wheel towing package and still allows you to retain the use of the rear factory 7-Way plug. The wiring is designed for 2011-2020 Ford F-250 Super Duty with a fifth wheel towing package. The Bargman 5th wheel/gooseneck wiring plugs into two plugs under the bumper that are there specifically for fifth wheel towing from Ford....

• What is the factory Cutout Bumper when Choosing a Trailer Hitch for a 2007 Chevy Silverado 2500
• I did some checking and basically the cutout bumper is the regular factory bumper. The Curt hitch, # C15312, will fit up tighter and a little more recessed, apparently the same way the factory hitch does if it were installed. Some people like the hitch a little more tucked up and others don't. If you want a little more room around the receiver then I recommend going with B&W hitch # BWHDRH25189.

• 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...

• Will a Reese Signature Series 5th Wheel Hitch Fit Reese Elite Series Underbed Installation Kit
• Your Signature Series hitch will fit the Reese Elite underbed installation kit # RP30061. However, the installation kit will only fit short bed models of the 2007 Chevy Silverado 2500 new body style. If you have a long bed it will not fit and you would need to look at a different installation kit and hitch. Let me know if you do have a long bed and I can make recommendations for you.

• 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...

• 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,...

• 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...

• Fifth Wheel Frame Brackets for a 2007 Chevy Silverado 1500 New Body with 5-1/2 Foot Bed
• Fifth wheel brackets # RP50081 are actually for certain Ford trucks and will not fit your 2007 Chevy Silverado 1500 with 5-1/2 foot bed. The comparable brackets that do fit your truck (new body style) are # RP50064. If you do not already have the rails then I recommend # RP50064-58 which is the complete kit. If you do already have some 10 bolt rails then you would also need bolt kit # RP58504 because the hardware is not meant to be reused. With the 5-1/2 foot bed you would either have...

• Derale Transmission Cooler Fit for 2007 Chevrolet Silverado 5.3L
• Transmission and oil coolers are not vehicle-specific. A transmission cooler can be installed in a vehicle so long as you have space to mount it in an appropriate location where it will receive proper air flow. You are correct that we do not show the 5.3L option among the engines offered for your 2007 Silverado. I checked our performance tuner applications and indeed the 5.3L appears there so it is likely just an oversight. My contact at Derale confirmed they know of no reason cooler...
