  • Where Does the Charge Line Circuit Run To On The Back Of a 6-Way On a Toad
  • If you are using the Blue Ox 7-Wire to 6-Wire, Coiled Electrical Cord part # BX88206 which it sounds like you are then you will need to attach the 12 volt power wire from the vehicle's battery to the terminal in the 1 o'clock position on the back of the vehicle side 6-way. In order to do this you will need the Roadmaster Battery Charge Line Kit for Towed Vehicles part # RM-156-25. If the pin for the 12 volt circuit on the vehicle side 7-way which is in the 1 o'clock position is not active...

  • The outboard Reese fifth wheel rail kit part # RP56007-53 that you have is the correct kit for your 2018 Chevy Silverado 1500. The instructions you have have an outdated year range listed but the kit definitely fits your truck. I attached a link to an install video that shows this kit installed on a similar 2015 Silverado as yours.

  • Transmission Cooler Recommendation for 2012 Chevy Silverado Towing 6,000 lb Boat
  • A transmission cooler is a really great idea for your Dad's truck as the temperature range you mentioned is too hot to allow a transmission to survive very long. I'd recommend the Derale part # D13504 as it's a plate fin cooler which is one of the most efficient styles and is larger at 11" Wide x 12" tall x 7/8" deep so it's going to do a really great job reducing the temperatures to a much safer range. For an adapter to fit the truck's radiator to make the install of the cooler easy...

  • Parts Needed to Install Brake Controller in 2018 Chevy Express Van 3500
  • For your 2018 Chevy Express 3500 van that does not have factory trailer wiring currently you will need to first start with a 4-way connector if not present already. For that you'd want the part # 118392 which is a confirmed fit for your van. So the easiest to install brake controller that also works really well is the Curt Echo Mobile part # C51180. Basically this just plugs into an active 7-way and once you sync it to your phone it's ready to go. This brake controller is proportional...

  • Which Tonneau Cover Can Fit 2013 Chevy Silverado 1500 with TracRac SR Ladder Rack
  • There is only one tonneau cover that can fit with the Thule TracRac sliding ladder racks like the part # TH43002XT-608 you mentioned for your 2013 Chevy Silverado with a 5-1/2 foot bed and that is the BAK Revolver # BAK65VR since it mounts and operates far enough between the bed rails. For any other tonneau cover that fits between the bed rails you'd have to use the Adarac ladder rack # A4001014 which would fit what you have currently.

  • Air Bag Suspension Enhancement Recommendation for 2018 Chevy Colorado
  • We have air bag suspension enhancement that fits your 2018 Chevy Colorado from Firestone but Air Lift does not have any kits for your truck including the one you mentioned. Instead you'd want the Firestone kit part # F2587 which will give you ability to fine tune exactly how much air pressure you need to level your truck to balance between support and ride quality. There isn't a softer way to get the same air bag support so even if there was an Air Lift option it couldn't be made any plusher...

  • Is 8 inches From Bottom of Weight Distribution System to Ground Enough Clearance
  • Eight inches from the ground to the bottom of your weight distribution shank would be fine for most situations but like you've experienced turning into inclined driveways can cause it to drag. Your trailer must sit pretty low to call for your shank setup to sit that low. It might be worth looking into raising your trailer suspension so that your shank settings could be a bit higher.

  • Can Curt MV Weight Distribution System Be Ordered with 2 inch Hitch Ball
  • We have a version of the Curt MV WD system part # C17062 that you referenced which doesn't come with a ball which then allows you to add the size needed to your order. For that you'd want the # C17052 and the Curt ball # 40038 which is a 2 inch hitch ball that also has the correct shank dimensions to fit this system. Then to add on the sway control unit you'd also want the part # 17200.

  • How Does Trailer Camera Pre-Wiring for RV Get Activated
  • The pre-wiring of an RV that was setup for a Furrion Observation system like the part # FOS05TASF that you referenced connects to the running light circuit of your trailer wiring. So, to activate it you'd have to have your vehicle and have either the running lights or head lights of it to activate it. Let me know if you've tried that and we can go from there.

  • For your 2023 Chevy Silverado 3500 that has the OEM pucks the B and W Companion hitch part # BWRVK3710 would be a really great 20k option that fits. It's widely considered to be the nicest hitch around due to how quiet and smooth it is on the road, how well made it is, and how it's easier to remove and install due to it being easy to break down into smaller pieces.

  • How To Determine Correct Weight Distribution Hitch For 20' Cargo Trailer
  • Thanks for the pictures! I ran those by some veteran guys at the office and we're drawing a blank on I.D.ing that system. However weight distribution heads and parts are all brand and model specific so there's no way to 100% get the correct parts. With that said don't worry, it's best to get the correct weight distribution hitch based on the Total Tongue weight of your trailer and not just piece together what you have, so we'll get you something that's going to be perfect for your specific...

  • Is There A 2 Inch Trailer Hitch Ball Made In the USA
  • The 2" Hitch Ball part # EH68C-C is made overseas but we do have a made in the USA hitch ball option for you, the Convert-A-Ball Interchangeable Ball Set part # 904B which gives you both 2" and 2-5/16" options. The majority of the trailer hitch balls are all made overseas. In regards to the Extra Long Ball Mount part # D-26, this does indeed have a reduced capacity due to the extended length but not by much. For reference, the Ball Mount part # C45310 is essentially a shorter version...

  • Yes, the difference in diameter of the openings of the Custer Light Mounting Box # MT-BOX4-2 that you referenced and the diameter of the lights that fit into the holes is the grommet.

  • Suspension Enhancement for 2009 Chevy Silverado 1500 to Improve Ride Quality
  • The RAS systems like the # RAS4611 that fits your 2009 Chevy Silverado 1500 are really unique in that they do provide a much smoother ride quality for the truck when it is loaded and unloaded. It also improves handling as well. It won't affect ride height either unless you were to adjust a lot of spring tension into it. You might also check to see if your shocks need to be replaced as well.
