Expert Answers about Chevrolet Accessories and Parts


  • Can Accessories Be Installed In Bottom Channels On Yakima HD Crossbars
  • In regards to Yakima HD Crossbars like part # Y01157, you can secure accessories in both the top and bottom channels. These channels are pretty much a standard size so you can use track mounted accessories from pretty much any brand such as Thule, Rhino-Rack, Rola, Etc. The T-Bolt Kit part # THXADAPT12 would work for custom applications. That said, there isn't an exact size nut that must be used inside the channels.

  • Can 7-Way Trailer Connector Accessory Circuit be Used to Power Trailer-Mounted Winch
  • The 12-volt accessory circuit lacks the amperage to power a trailer mounted winch. Your best bet would be to either install a 12-volt deep cycle battery on the trailer, and use the 12-volt accessory circuit to keep that battery maintained, or use a winch wiring kit like part # BDW20348 and connect the winch to the vehicle battery. If you use the 12-volt accessory circuit to maintain the trailer-mounted battery, I would recommend installing a battery isolator, like part # PK5231201. The...

  • How to Mount Accessories in the Curt Front Mount Hitch # 31198 on a 2011 Toyota Tundra
  • If the receiver tube is recessed too far on your 2011 Toyota Tundra for your accessories, a hitch extender, see link, can be used if you stay within 50 percent of the weight capacity of the hitch and the vehicle frame capacity for the front mount hitch. Extenders reduce the capacity of the lowest rated item by 50 percent because of the extra torque that can be applied by the longer shank in the hitch. If you need to purchase accessories, your best bet is to measure from the center of the...

  • Availability of Transmission Cooler Parts and Accessories to Route Cooler Lines, 2005 Honda Odyssey
  • If the hose lines are not kinked and not touching any parts that could move and make the hoses kink, they will probably be fine. Depending on how tight the bend is that it is making, it may be a good idea to err on the side of caution and go ahead with making the bend a little more straight. We have numerous replacement parts and accessories for coolers. I have included a link to them for you to view. Depending on where the bend is and how you want to route it, I am certain you will find...

  • Connecting a Power Lead From an Electric A-Frame Jack to Trailer Accessory Battery
  • If you are using an internally grounded electric jack like the Ultra-Fab Electric A-Frame Jack, part # UF38-944017, you simply run the power lead to the accessory battery on the trailer and connect it to the positive terminal using something like a ring terminal, like part # DW05705-1. You will also want to make sure the negative post of the battery is grounded to the trailer frame so the circuit is complete. This type of jack will only require the power lead wire to be connected as it...

  • Will The Curve In The Malone Anti-Rattle HitchLock Plate Dig Into The Hitch Receiver
  • The curve in the Malone Anti-Rattle HitchLock System part # MPG908 is designed for extra stability to not allow the shank of the accessory to move up and down. It is what holds the shank of accessory tight. I have attached a photo of how this is supposed to be installed between the hitch collar and the shank of the accessory. The curved portion of the Malone Anti-rattle will not touch the hitch.

  • How to Install the Buyers Products Hour Meter B40B45
  • The Buyers Products Hour Meter part # 337B40B45 can be wired to any 10-80 VDC accessory that you need to monitor the run time on. It is primarily used for equipment maintenance and repair schedules. It will simply install inline on a power wire that leads from the power source to the accessory. For example, instead of running the accessory directly to the battery you would tie into the meter first and then run it to the battery which you can see in the attached photo.

  • How to Allow 12 Volt Accessory Circuit of 7-Way to be Active All the Time
  • Sounds like you have a 7-way trailer wiring connector and the 12 volt accessory circuit turns off when the vehicle is turned off. The only way to bypass that so that the circuit is on all the time is to run a length of 10 gauge wire like part # 10-1-1 from the positive post of the battery through a breaker like # 9510 to the 12 volt accessory circuit of the 7-way which happens to be the pin in the 1:00 position.

  • Anti-Rattle Locking Pin VS. U-Bolt Style Anti-Rattle
  • It sounds like you would like to know the difference between an anti-rattle locking pin like part # 63232 and an U-bolt style anti-rattle like part # RM-061 and to be honest they both work well. However, the anti-rattle locking pin does require an accessory with a hollow shank or a ball mount with a hollow shank for the components of the pin to fit inside properly. An anti-rattle locking pin does help take away the rattling you may hear with an accessory or ball mount inside the hitch by...

  • How Does The Classic Accessories RV Wheel Covers, part # 052963762501, Secure To The Tire
  • I went out to the warehouse and opened a package of the Classic Accessories RV Wheel Covers, part # 052963762501, to see how they attach to the tires. The top of the cover is shaped like a pocket with an elastic band on the inside of the cover. The cover is slipped over the top of the tire and the elastic band provides tension around the tire to keep the cover from coming off. I am including a picture of the wheel cover on a tire.

  • Solution for Needing to Power Trailer Wiring Converter Box and 12 Volt Accessory Circuit of 7-Way
  • You would not be able to share the power wire of the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness # C56342 for also powering the 12 volt accessory of a 7-way like the part # 37185. But I have a similar solution that would be just as easy. Instead you'd want to run the double bonded wire part # 10-2-1 (sold by the foot) to the battery of the vehicle and then attach both leads to the battery post and you'll essentially have run "one" wire to power both the converter of the 4-way and the 12 volt...

  • Fitting an Accessory with a 2 Shank in a 1-1/4 Receiver Hitch
  • We offer a hitch adapter that will adapt a 1-1/4 receiver to a 2 inch, part # HTAD. Keep in mind that using an adapter will lower the tongue weight capacity of your hitch by 50 percent. For instance, if your current hitch has a 350 lb tongue weight capacity, using an adapter will lower the capacity to 175 lbs. This will mean that the hitch accessory (bike rack or cargo carrier) plus what ever is carried on it can weigh no more than 175 lbs. This is caused by the additional leverage placed...

  • Can the Hand Held Part of Electric-Hydraulic Brake Actuator # HBAC10-CLR Plug Into Accessory Ports
  • The in-cab hand held unit of the Carlisle Hydrastar XL Electric-Hydraulic Brake Actuator, # HBAC10-CLR, plugs into a cigarette lighter style receptacle. If the accessory power receptacle you installed is the same shape and size (if other items that normally plug into a cigarette lighter or power receptacle fit and work, then it is the same size) as a cigarette lighter, and it is properly grounded, and it is circuit protected by a fuse or circuit breaker (like a factory cigarette lighter...

  • How to Hardwire a 12 Volt Accessory Outlet in a Truck Bed
  • Only a 7-way trailer connector will have a 12-volt power wire ran to the connector. A 4-way trailer connector will not have a constant 12-volt power wire. As long as the 12-volt power wire running to the 7-way trailer connector is rated for the amperage required for your 12-volt accessory outlet then yes, you can use this wire for powering the circuit. Depending on how the vehicle is set up, your trailer connector may or may not still have power while the vehicle is off. To test this,...

  • Yes, the Curt RV Bumper 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver part # E-100 can be mounted on the RV's bumper both right side up or upside down, as long as you have a 4" steel bumper channel and you are only using the hitch for RV approved accessories. You will also need a stabilizer strap to support these accessories using the Curt Trailer Hitch Support Strap part # 18050. I have attached a review for each of these products for you.
