Expert Answers about Chevrolet Kodiak
- Will the SuperSprings # SSA17 Fit a 2007 Chevy Kodiak 5500
- I checked with SuperSprings and their part # SSA17 has been confirmed as a fit for a 2007 Chevrolet Kodiak 5500 like what you have so it would work well for you.
This is recommended for vehicles with very high payloads though as it provides you with a total of 6,000 lbs of total suspension support.

- There is no plug-in brake controller wiring harness available for your 2008 Kodiak, so it will have to be hardwired.
If you already have a 7-way connector at the rear of your RV, you can use a circuit tester like part # PTW2993 to locate the stoplight switch under the dash. This wire will only show power when the brake pedal is pressed. This is where the red wire from the brake controller will connect to.
The blue wire from the brake controller will then be connected to the pin on the...

- For your 2008 Chevy C4500 Kodiak we have front suspension enhancement like the Timbren part # TGMFTK as a confirmed fit which can provide you with 8,600 lbs of additional suspension support but there are no air bag kits that fit your vehicle.

"From what I can see, it looks like it will fit. I just compared the image to the instructions -- we have the tank in our images. The bump stops should not be a problem."
view full answer... - Will Disc Brake Kit part # K2R1058D11 Offer More Braking Power than Drum Brakes
- If you would be going from drum brakes to the disc brake kit part # K2R1058D11 yes you would get much better braking power that would engage quicker and also resist brake fade from heat considerably.
Now if you have a drum brake setup that would mean you have a drum brake Hydrastar so you would need to replace yours with the part # HBA16 which has the higher pressure rating that disc brakes require.
I attached a help article link that covers adding electric over hydraulic brake setups...
view full answer... - Suspension Enhancement Options for 2008 Kodiak C5500 Motorhome
- Although they are for the front axle, the SumoSprings # SSF-281-47 are confirmed to fit your 2008 Kodiak C5500 Motorhome. Unfortunately, for the rear axle the only comparable option is the Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System # TGMRC55.
There is a cost difference, but you have to consider that the # SS65FR you were looking at is for a truck and not a motorhome. Also, rear SumoSprings for your motorhome would likely have a different price point compared to the front. If you compare...
view full answer... - Recommendations to Prevent Sway on 2006 Jayco Seneca Motorhome
- One way to fix sway problems on a motor home is to brace the rear axle, to eliminate excessive axle side movement. The Roadmaster, # RM-1109-157, and similar products, mount between the rear axle and the chassis and hold the axle in place. This will greatly reduce rear end sway. Part # RM-1109-157is the correct part for the 2006 Chevrolet Kodiak.
Adding a front sway bar is also an option. For a front bar, you can use # RM-1109-158.
You could also install a steering stabilizer, # RM-RBK5-RSSA....

- We don't have a specific fit for your 1991 Chevy Kodiak 6500, so I recommend the following. If you don't already have a 4-way flat trailer connector, use the Tekonsha ZCI Circuit Protected Vehicle Wiring Harness w/ 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector and Installation Kit # 119250KIT which will use quick connects to connect to your factory wiring without splicing into the wiring. This harness will draw power directly from your battery to protect your vehicle. Then you will use the Universal...

- I have a solution but we don't offer the Tuson tire pressure monitoring system # 335TPMS6WIVS with 90 degree valve stems so you'd need to use 90 degree adapters like the part # WM802990 and you'd be set.

- I spoke to my contact at Firestone and after describing to him what you are looking to do he recommended the part # F2574. This is a control panel that will give you the ability to control both sides of your motorhome bags.
You will need to run air lines from your current compressor tank to this panel, and then from the panel to the air bags. You will probably need air line as well like part # F9416 which is 30 feet of line.
view full answer... - SuperSpring Suspension Kit Recommendation for 2005 Chevy Kodiak
- We have Superspring kits that are a confirmed fit for your 2005 Chevy Kodiak. For the rear axle you'd need the part # SSA25 and then for the front you'd want the # SSF-281-47 which is the leaf spring style.
This setup gives you a SumoSpring in the front and the Superspring leaf style out back. There isn't a Sumo for the rear of your vehicle so this would be your best and only fitting option.
