Expert Answers about GMC C/K Series Pickup


  • Replacement 25-1/4 Leaf Springs for a Ranger RT188 Boat Trailer
  • To replace your 25-1/4" leaf springs on your Ranger RT188 boat trailer I recommend the 3-Leaf Double-Eye Spring item # e93SR. These have a 4,000 lbs capacity and three leafs. They will work great on your trailer. There are a few ways to gain additional clearance between your tire and fender, but going with longer shackle straps won't accomplish what you're looking for. I recommend moving your fender up if possible but you really don't have much room to work with.

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for a 1987 GMC 1500 Pick Up Truck
  • The Draw-Tite Class III Trailer Hitch, # 75034, will fit your 1987 GMC 1500 as long as it does not have a deep drop bumper. If your truck has an 8 ft bed and a deep drop bumper, then you will instead need the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch, # 41504. I have attached a photo of a typical deep drop bumper if you are not familiar with them. If your truck has a 6 ft bed, then you will need additional hardware to complete the installation. You will need six 3/8 inch spacer blocks, # 01077-011, and...

  • Recommended Front Suspension Upgrade for a 1997 GMC C3500
  • I do have an option for you but the SuperCoils Custom Suspension Coils part # SSC-13 will not fit your 1997 GMC C3500. Unfortunately, SuperSprings does not make a SuperCoils Custom Suspension Coil for your C3500. However, I do have the Timbren Front Suspension Enhancement System part # TGMFC1588H which is a fit for your C3500 and will do an excellent job of offering additional support in the front of the vehicle. The Timbren Front Suspension Enhancement System is also very easy to install...

  • Trailer Hitch and Extension for 1996 GMC 2500 C/K With Truck Camper
  • There is absolutely a way for you to get an extension of at least 3 feet with your 1996 GMC 2500 C/K so you can take your boat along when using your truck camper. To do this you will need to install the TorkLift SuperHitch Original Trailer Hitch Receiver # TLC1201, which fits your '96 GMC 2500, so long as you have the standard or step bumper. Adding this hitch is the only way to get an extender which is long enough to meet your needs. With this hitch installed you can then add the hitch...

  • Will Curt Above-Bed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch Work With Reese 5th Wheel Above Bed Rails
  • First you will need to install fifth wheel rails in the bed of your 1998 GMC Pickup. I recommend the Reese Universal Base Rails And Installation Kit, part # RP30035. This is a 10-bolt kit and includes the rails, brackets, and hardware. The Curt Above-Bed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch for Fifth Wheel Rails, part # 16055 can be used with the # RP30035 rail kit on your truck. This adapter has a 3-inch offset and a 2-5/16 inch hitch ball.

  • Tire Chains for a Pickup with Dual 235/85-16 Tires
  • Yes, the Titan Chain Snow Tire Chains for Dual Tires part # TC4821 will fit your 235/85-16 dual tires. They come with chains for an entire axle so you will only need one set. These Titan Chain Snow Tire Chains are unique in that they have a v-bar twist link which will do a phenomenal job of improving traction in ice. I have attached an install video for you which will show how they are installed. I recommend you test fit these chains for yourself in your driveway before you have to use...

  • Will the Transmission Cooling Pan D14204 Fit on a 2000 GMC 4x4 1500 Sierra Pickup
  • I believe you are correct, the Derale Transmission Pan Cooler, # D14204, is designed for GM vehicles with 700R4 and 4L60E transmissions from 1982 to 1999 and we do not list an transmission cooler pan for the 2000 GMC Sierra 1500 with 4L60 M-30 transmission. I believe the issue you will run into is that the exhaust on the vehicle, or other parts, will interfere with installation of the pan to the transmission. The pan will fit the transmission if there are no parts on the vehicle in the...

  • Compatibility of Brophy Camper Tie-Downs with 1998 GMC Dually Pickup Truck
  • The Brophy Clamp On Camper Tie-Downs - Bed Mount - Black Powder Coated Steel - Qty 4 # HSSF are not recommended for dually trucks. They are a fit for most full-size, non-dually pickup trucks according to the manufacturer. I did reach out the manufacturer and they said you may be able to use the # HSSF or the # HSAB but they have not tested it on a 1998 GMC dually. The sidewall width is the biggest issue with the angle coming down to ensure clearance for connection. They also stated that...

  • Air Bags Hit Exhaust Pipes on a 1994 GMC K1500
  • The Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs part # F2025 is designed to work on a 1994 GMC K1500 with the factory exhaust. If you have an aftermarket exhaust that is interfering with the airbags which it sounds like is the case then you will need to make some adjustments to your tail pipes in order to make the two work for you. If you don't want to modify your exhaust then you can look into the RoadActive Suspension part # RAS4611 which would serve the same purpose as the Firestone Ride-Rite...

  • We do have a universal Mat # DZ85005 you can use as we no longer carry custom fit mats for your 1972 GMC Sierra Grande with 8' long bed. This mat is 8' long and 4' wide.

  • How Can I Connect My Lancer Camper To My 1991 GMC C/K Series Pickup
  • The Lance camper has a proprietary connector. If you want to connect to your 1991 GMC C/K Series Pickup and not have to get a connector from Lance, you will have to replace that camper connector. That can be done with the Pollak Black Plastic, 7-Pole, RV-Style Trailer Connector - Trailer End, part # PK12706. You will need to have a 7-way connector installed on your pickup. You will need the 4-way installed first. I recommend the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat...

  • Will the Extang BlackMax # EX2305 Fit My 1987 GMC Sierra Short Bed?
  • I have a great alternative for you. Unfortunately, I confirmed with Extang that the Extang BlackMax Soft Tonneau Cover model 2305 has been discontinued from production. However, with that being said, a great tonneau cover that is confirmed to fit your 1987 GMC Sierra (with a short bed) is the Access TonnoSport Soft, Roll-Up Tonneau Cover # A22020029. The TonnoSport is a great aerodynamic cover that reduces wind drag and improves gas mileage by up to 10 percent. Also, the TonnoSport comes...

  • Recommended Replacement For An Atwood GCH6-7E RV Water Heater
  • Since RV water heater manufacturers have changed with the times you will have a bit of work to do to get any new water heater to fit correctly. The best option we currently carry is the Furrion RV Tankless Water Heater # FR93FR. This water heater is 12-5/8" wide x 12-5/8" tall x 19-1/4" deep so you'll likely need to frame in the cutout hole a bit for this new unit to mount to. You can then cover any gaps with some thin pieces of plywood or any other material of your choice since the access...

  • Will 5th Airborn King Pin Fit a Hijacker 5th Wheel on a 2000 GMC K3500 Dually Pulling 10,000 lbs
  • The 5th Airborne King Pin # 5AB-E1621-610 that you referenced is a direct replacement for the Lippert 1621 pin box. The 5th Airborne installs using your existing hardware. Since the 5th Airborne and Lippert king pins are equivalents, you will not have any height difference after the replacement. My contact at Airborne also informed me that the 5th Airborne 5AB-E1621-610 and the Hijacker 24-ULP-16 hitch you have will work well together. The 5TH Airborne unit comes with a standard wedge...

  • Spare Tire Compatible High Capacity Hitch for 1996 GMC K1500
  • I'd recommend going with the Curt Class V hitch, part # C15325 which has a 16K capacity. The hitch is compatible with the stock spare tire size on your 1996 GMC K1500, although you might need to lower the spare during the install for better access to the frame members, but it'll fit back into position just fine once the hitch is installed. I've provided a photo showing the hitch installed with a full-sized spare tire. I've also linked to the installation instructions.

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for a 1985 GMC C10 Short Bed 2WD
  • The Class V Ultra Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 41947 is compatible with a 1985 GMC C/K Series Pickup with either the 8' bed and standard or step bumper, or a cab and chassis model. Since you have a short bed on your C10 I recommend going with the Class IV Curt # C14082 which fits the 6' bed that utilizes a standard or step bumper. This is a custom fit that doesn't require drilling and fits as long as your frame is 34" outside to outside. If you used to have the standard or step bumper...

  • Combination Transmission and Oil Cooler for a 1996 GMC C/K Series 1500 with 5.7 Liter 350
  • Transmission coolers/oil coolers are not vehicle specific so you can install # D15903 on your 1996 GMC C/K series truck with the 5.7 liter as long as it has an automatic transmission. This combination cooler does have the proper thread type for the oil filter on a GMC truck. But for the transmission cooler part I recommend adding fitting # D13035 so you will not have to cut and flare any transmission lines. With these items you will not need anything else for the installation. I have...
