- How Often do I Have to Start my 2017 Buick Envision When I am Flat Towing it
- I've checked through the owners manual and was unable to find any requirement on starting the vehicle when flat towing. On some vehicles there is a note in the manual that says to start and run the engine every so often to lubricate the transmission. But again I did not see one in the online manual. Please check your manual to see if the information is the same.
As far as the Roadmaster FuseMaster Fuse Bypass Switch for Towed Vehicle part # RM76512 it only needs to be turned on when you...
view full answer... - Is Brake Light Switch Necessary When Wiring 2011 Buick Enclave for Flat Towing
- You are correct about the purpose of the brake light switch. Its purpose is to provide verification that the brakes on your dinghy are being applied (as well as released) when needed. If the supplementary braking system you are using is not retracting properly, the tires and brakes on the dinghy could become prematurely worn or damaged.

- A class I or class II transmission cooler should work well for your needs.
I recommend class I transmission cooler # D13101, or a class II cooler like # D12906 would also work to help with the issue you are having during warm weather. Both of these Derale coolers are designed to cool very efficiently and install easily, and either one would be a good choice for your 2000 Buick Century.
In addition to the transmission cooler, you would also need the custom fittings # 41418 to match the...

- For a 2001 Buick Century the highest rated trailer hitches we offer are Class II hitches like the part # 36374 which have a 300 lb tongue weight rating and a 1-1/4 inch hitch opening.
The only carriers we offer are designed to fit 2 inch trailer hitches like the part # UF48-979033 that you referenced.
The best option you have is to find a small trailer to tow your dirt bike.
To complete your towing setup you would want the trailer wiring part # 18252, ball mount # 36061, 1-7/8 inch hitch...
view full answer... - Using a 2 Inch Bike Rack on a 2017 Buick Encore with 1-1/4 Inch Trailer Hitch
- Like you said there are only 1-1/4 inch hitches for your 2017 Buick Encore. In fact, there is only one available for your Encore. You could use Curt hitch # C11527 with adapter # HTAD to use a 2 inch bike rack. However, the use of the adapter reduces the tongue weight capacity of the trailer hitch from 200 pounds down to 100 pounds.
The Q Slot PS63138 weighs about 65 pounds meaning you will only have 35 pounds of capacity left over. As long as the combined weight of the bikes is less...
view full answer... - Tow Bar Wiring System to have Separate Turn Signals and Brake Lights on 2017 Buick Envision
- Legally the dingy lights don't have to have separate brake lights and turn signals but you can certainly wire it up that way if you want. I do not know which lighting system you have but the whole kit for separate dingy lights is # 154-792-118158.
If you already have a 4 diode kit then you will just need 2 additional diodes # RM-792 and converter # 118158. I have included a diagram showing how the 6 diode system wires up.
If you have something other than a 4 diode kit let me know what...

- The addition of a transmission cooler will absolutely help while towing with your 2006 Buick LaCrosse to both increase performance and prolong the life of your vehicle's transmission. That said, it will not increase your towing capacity in the eyes of the manufacturer. However, the factory warranty on your LaCrosse has most likely already expired so I recommend you just use your best judgement when it comes to your towing capacity after adding supplements such as a transmission cooler....
view full answer... - Trailer Hitch and Wiring for a 2004 Buick Rendezvous to Carry a 300 Pound Electric Wheelchair
- The trailer hitches with the highest capacity for your 2004 Buick Rendezvous have 350 pounds of tongue weight capacity. Provided that the combined weight of the scooter and carrier are under 350 pounds the hitches can handle it. I recommend Draw-Tite hitch # 75430. this is a Class III hitch with a 2 inch receiver.
Even though the hitch can handle 350 pounds of tongue weight you also have to consider what the vehicle can handle. Depending on how your vehicle is equipped (and how many passenger's...

- It sounds like you're looking for a Reese 77269 hitch
Reese, Draw-Tite and Hidden Hitch are all brands owned by Cequent Performance Products. The Reese 77269, The Draw-Tite # 24882 and the Hidden Hitch # 60299 (no longer available) Class I Hitches are all manufactured in the same factory, and all three are identical. The only difference between the three is the brand name and part number on the sticker affixed to the hitch. In other words, there's no difference in quality or weight rating...
view full answer... - Information And Specifications On Tire Linc TPMS For RVs And Trailers
- My contact at Lippert was able to give me some information regarding the Tire Linc TPMS # LC37VR. The size of the sensor is fairly small, measuring about 3/4" thick and weighing 11 grams each. The battery life will depend on how much the system is used, but generally the batteries last 1-2 years. Set-up time is minimal; the sensors simply screw onto the valve stem and the signal booster will be wired up to 12 volts. The maximum range of communication is 33 feet, however, Lippert recommends...

view full answer... - Recommended Bike Rack for a 2021 Buick Envison Hauling a Cannondale Step-Through Bike
- I recommend checking out the Thule DoubleTrack Pro XT Bike Rack for 2 Bikes # TH92BJ. This bike rack will work with up to 2 step-through bikes weighing 35 lbs each (70 lbs total), a maximum of 5" wide tires, and a maximum wheelbase of 46 1/2".
This is a hitch mounted rack, so if you don't have a trailer hitch yet you're going to need to add one with the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C94NR.

- I do have an option for you, however the Draw-Tite Class III Max-Frame Hitch Receiver # 75676 referenced in your question is designed for certain model year Lexus vehicles and will not fit your Buick Roadmaster Wagon.
For your vehicle, I instead recommend the Curt # C12009, which is confirmed to fit your 1994 Buick Roadmaster Estate Wagon. This is a Class II hitch with a 1-1/4 inch receiver opening, but it does feature a 3,500 pound towing weight capacity. This is the highest rated hitch...
view full answer... - Recommended Weight Distribution for 2005 Buick Rainier Towing 2000 Jayco Kiwi 17A Travel Trailer
- For towing your 2000 Jayco Kiwi 17A A-frame travel trailer with your 2005 Buick Rainier I recommend using a weight distribution hitch with integrated sway control, like the Equal-i-zer # EQ37060ET that you referenced, since these systems do more to improve your towing experience than the simple standalone friction sway bars like # 83660. A properly-rated weight distribution hitch (WDH) will not only prevent trailer sway but it will also balance the weight of the SUV/trailer system to keep...
view full answer... - Best Trunk Bike Rack Recommendation for 2013 Buick Enclave
- Sounds like you are looking for a trunk mounted bike rack. A trunk mounted bike rack will install at the rear of a vehicle and does not require a trailer hitch.
I recommend the Yakima Fullback trunk rack part # Y02633 because we recently asked our install and demo team to pick their favorite trunk rack based on performance and ease of install/use and they all picked this trunk rack. You will really like this rack. The four easily adjustable straps will make it easier to install than the...
view full answer... - Recommended Parts to Tow a Small Trailer with a 2009 Buick LaCrosse
- We have everything that you need to get towing with your 2009 Buick LaCrosse.
For a trailer hitch I recommend the 1-1/4" Class II Curt # C12239 because we have found the Curt trailer hitches typically have better welds and a thicker powder coat than other options. This contributes to a longer lifespan of the trailer hitch which in turn raises the quality of the hitch.
Since you're needing to tow a smaller trailer you'll also need wiring to activate the trailer lights and for that I recommend...

- In order to determine if your 2008 Buick Lucerne is a standard model CXL or a special edition, there are a couple of things you can do. If the driver seat is a power memory seat that remembers your settings and your tires are size 245/50R18, then you have a special edition. But the definitive way to determine the trim level of your Lucerne is to contact a local dealer and have them run the VIN number of the car and they will be able to tell you for sure which one you have.
