Expert Answers about GMC Sierra 3500


  • Will the B&W Turnoverball From an Old Truck Fit a New 2019 GMC Sierra 3500
  • It sounds like you have an old B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch and want to install this on your new 2019 GMC Sierra 3500. If that is the case then the old B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch would have to had came off a 2016-2019 Chevrolet Silverado 2500/3500 or a 2016-2019 GMC Sierra 2500/3500 in order to work. If the old B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch came from any other year/chassis then it would not work for you. If that is the case...

  • Compatibility of Blue Ox Base Plates and Grille Guard for 2019 GMC 3500 Denali
  • There is not a grille guard for your 2019 GMC 3500 Denali that will fit with base plates from any of our manufacturers for either part. They install in the exact same location to your frame so they take the same space and are not compatible. If you choose the Base Plate kit to flat tow, then you will use the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # BLU22QR. If you choose the grille guard, I recommend the Westin Sportsman Grille Guard - 1 Piece - Black Powder Coated Steel # 40-3795....

  • Pin Box Replacement Recommendation For A Lippert Road Armor Pin Box
  • Your Road Armor pin box has an 1116 bolt pattern so the FlexAir pin boxes will not fit. The Trailair Air Ride 5th Wheel Pin Box - Lippert 1116 - 21,000lbs Item # LC155943 will though. The Air Ride pin box utilizes an air bag to reduce chucking and improve handling just like the FlexAir.

  • Recommended 5th Wheel Hitch For A 2021 GMC Sierra 3500 Short Bed
  • Since you have a short bed I do recommend using a sliding hitch to help avoid the nose of your camper from coming into contact with the cab of your truck when making turns. The B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Hitch w/ Slider for Chevy/GMC Towing Prep Package - Dual Jaw - 20K Item # BWRVK3775 is a confirmed fit for your vehicle and will drop right into the OEM puck system you have in your 2021 GMC Sierra 3500 bed. Aerodynamic front cap just means the nose of your camper is built to be more...

  • Does The Extang Trifecta Soft Tonneau Cover Need To Be Removed To Hook Up A 5th Wheel
  • The Extang Trifecta Signature 2.0 Soft Tonneau Cover # EX59KR will allow you to fold back the first two panels for access to 2/3 of your 2021 GMC Sierra 3500's bed so you'll be able to hook up your 5th wheel with no problems. The rear panel (closest to the cab) is going to cover 2.25' of your bed or you can also completely remove the cover for full bed access without having to remove the rails. For full bed access, just undo the Jaw-Grip clamps at the cab and lift the cover off completely.

  • UWS Truck Bed Chest Compatibility With A 2021 GMC Sierra Denali 3500 With 5th Wheel Hitch Installed
  • The UWS Truck Bed Chest # UWS01048 is very slightly smaller than what UWS has listed in their fitguide for a 2021 GMC Sierra Denali 3500 so you shouldn't have any issues installing this tool chest in your 2021 GMC Denali 3500 dually 8ft bed. It only comes out 20" so you also won't have to worry about it interfering with your B&W Companion 5th wheel hitch either.

  • Recommended 5th Wheel Hitch For A 2019 GMC Sierra 3500 Denali
  • With a 6.5' bed you'll have a decent turn radius but will still most likely not be able to make a 90 degree turn, which could lead to the trailer accidentally making contact with the cab of the truck. Because of this I recommend going with a sliding 5th wheel hitch like the Demco Autoslide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Slider # DM8550034. This hitch will automatically slide back up to 14" as you turn to provide extra turning clearance without you having to get out of the truck. To mount it...

  • Does TruXedo Lo Pro Fit 2022 GMC Sierra 3500 Standard Bed With MultiPro Tailgate
  • It sure will! The MultiPro tailgate on your 2022 GMC Sierra 3500 will not have any affect on the fit of the TruXedo tonneau cover that fits your standard bed; the correct part number for that 6-3/4 foot bed size is the following: - TruXedo Lo Pro Soft Roll-up Tonneau Cover # TX573301 The Lo Pro # TX573301 is a really nice choice for your Sierra, particularly with a 5th wheel hitch that sits even with your bed rails because the cover sits an inch above your bed rails. This will allow room...

  • Recommended Fifth Wheel Hitch For A 2020 GMC Sierra 3500HD SRW Short Bed
  • Since the bed of your 2020 GMC Sierra 3500 is only 6-3/4' in length you would need to use a sliding fifth wheel hitch or a rotating pin box with a fixed hitch. Since you stated that the trailer you're looking at has a Rhino Box there is currently no compatible rotating pin box replacement, leaving you in a tumultuous situation with only the sliding hitch as an option. Since you have the OEM prep package you can at least easily install and remove a hitch. For this I recommend the B&W Companion...

  • Troubleshooting ECN Error Code of Firestone Wireless Compressor Kit
  • The ECN error code of a Firestone wireless compressor setup means that the remote has lost communication with the compressor. This very well can be because the compressor is not powered on so the remote has nothing to connect to. I would try connecting the ignition bypass like you mentioned as it's possible that is what's causing the issue.

  • Will Firestone Ride-Rite Red Label Fit 2022 GMC Sierra 3500 Cab and Chassis
  • The Firestone Ride-Rite Red Label # F56FV will fit your 2022 GMC Sierra 3500 Cab and Chassis. Even though there isn't a lip the lower bracket will grab onto the striker plate as the hardware is tightened. This combined with the J-bolt will keep the air bag secure.

  • Recommended 4" Offset Gooseneck Hitch Ball for a B&W Turnover Ball System
  • To add an offset 2/5/16" hitch ball to your Sierra's Turnover Ball system you will want the 4" Offset Ball for B&W Turnoverball Gooseneck Trailer Hitches item # BWGNXA4085. To make towing with a gooseneck trailer easier I recommend adding the Curt 5th Wheel/Gooseneck Custom Wiring Harness w/ 7-Pole Connector - 10' Long item # C56000. This harness puts a 7-way connector in the bed of your truck and allows you to keep the one on your bumper. This makes hooking up to your gooseneck trailer...

  • Can I Use B&W Patriot Sliding Hitch In 2018 GMC Sierra 3500 With Prep Package
  • There are normally adapters to fit the B&W Patriot sliding hitch part # BWRVK3270 to factory prep packages, however the only adapter available part # DM6206 for the 2018 GMC Sierra 3500 long bed is not compatible with the Patriot because the cross section of the adapter interferes with the sliding mechanism of the hitch. There is also not an interchangeable base available that fits the prep package at this time. The only option is to replace the fifth wheel with a fifth wheel that fits...

  • Recommended Pin Box Replacement For A Reese 5th Airborne Pin Box
  • The 5th Airborne Premium Fifth Wheel Air Ride Coupler - Extended - 12-1/2" Wide Air Ride # 5AB-E510-710 you have is not a 1621 bolt pattern like you were told. Your pin box only fits pin boxes like the Fabex 500, Fabex 503, Fabex 765, Fabex 770, Lippert 1716, or RBW 7028. For your 2014 Arctic Fox 27-5L 5th Wheel I recommend the Trailair Air Ride 5th Wheel Pin Box - Lippert 1716 - 21,000lbs Item # LC158777. The Internal air bag absorbs road shock and scissor-like motion allows pin box...

  • Parts Needed To Switch B&W Companion From 2017 GMC Sierra 3500 To 2020 GMC Sierra 3500
  • The weight capacity difference between the 25K and the 20K B&W Companion is in the head. The Head Assembly for B&W Companion 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches part # BWRVC3006 is rated for 25K. If you have the OEM prep package in the new 2020 Sierra 3500HD with a 8 foot bed then you will need Replacement Base for B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch for Chevy/GMC - 25,000 lbs part # BWRVB3715.

  • Increasing Wheel and Tire Size On a Shorelander Boat Trailer With 4.80-8" Wheels And Tires
  • Yes, as long as you have sufficient clearance for the larger wheel and tires you will be able to use the larger wheels. Do understand that as this is a boat trailer you will have to back further into the water with the taller tires to launch and retrieve your boat. Your current wheel and tire # AM30030 is 4.6" wide and 16.1" tall. The Loadstar 4.80-12 Bias Trailer Tire with 12" Galvanized Wheel # AM30670 is going to be 4.9" wide(0.3" wider) and 20.7" tall(4.6" taller). You will want...

  • Can A Stromberg Carlson 4000 Series 5th Wheel Tailgate Be Transferred From A Dodge To A Chevy
  • I spoke with Stromberg Carlson and they informed that that they do make conversion kits for adapting the 4000 Series 5th Wheel Louvered Tailgates but only within the same make/modle. Therefore, the only option you have if you need a 5th wheel tailgate on your 2015 GMC Sierra 3500 is to purchase a new one, the Stromberg Carlson 4000 Series 5th Wheel Louvered Tailgate with Lock for GM Trucks part # VGM-14-4000.

  • Can a Demco Hijacker Autoslide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # DM8550034 Work With a Turning Point Pin Box
  • While there is a way to use the Demco Hijacker Autoslide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Slider # DM8550034 with a Turning Point pin box, it will basically turn your Turning Point pin box into just a standard pin box. Using them both together would create too many moving parts, so you would need to lock out the Turning Point Pin Box. This will make the pin box pivot at the hitch, causing you to lose the clearance to the cab the Turning Point is designed to give you. I have attached a photo...
