  • Can Dexter DX Series EOH Actuator K71-651 Be Used With Hydraulic Drum Brakes?
  • I have another option for you, but no you cannot use the Dexter DX EOH Actuator For Disc Brakes # K71-651 with hydraulic drum brakes. This is due to the pressure differences in the actuators as they were designed for the different styles of brakes. Disc brakes need an actuator with 1600 PSI where drum brakes use an actuator with around 1000 PSI, which makes these actuators not interchangeable with the other style of brakes. Since you have hydraulic drum brakes you will need to go with...

  • Can Curt T-Connector C55384 Be Added To 2021 Chevy Silverado To Power Extra Tail Lights On Camper?
  • I would be happy to help! Yes the Curt T-Connector # C55384 you were looking at for your new 2021 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 will plug in inline of your factory connector and allow you to plug in both your campers 7-way connector and the 4-way connector you are using to power the extra tail lights. The only thing you will need to be sure of is that the combination of both connectors does not overload the individual circuits of the factory wiring. Due to only adding one extra set of tail...

  • Recommended Quality Brake Controller for 2021 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
  • For your 2021 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 I recommend the Redarc Tow-Pro Elite Trailer Brake Controller - 1 to 3 Axles - Proportional # RED44FR. This is a high quality, proportional brake controller that can be mounted anywhere in your truck. It has a 3-axis accelerometer and uses active calibration technology to continuously monitor your travel direction and adjust accordingly. The control knob typically mounts on the dash and allows for quick and easy adjustments. The manual override...

  • What Tonneau Cover and Ladder Rack do You Recommend for My 2021 Chevy Silverado 1500?
  • For an amazing tonneau cover/ladder rack combination on your 2021 Chevy Silverado 1500 (5-3/4 ft. bed crew cab), I recommend the BAK Revolver X2 Hard Tonneau Cover - Roll Up # BAK39130 along with the Adarac Pro Series Custom Truck Bed Ladder Rack - Aluminum # A4002965. The reason why the Revolver X2 is a great cover for your Silverado 1500 is because it mounts completely in the bed rails and leaves the stake pockets open for compatibility with a stake-mounted ladder rack like the Adarac...

  • Easy Suspension Enhancement for 2022 Chevy Silverado 1500
  • Yes you can use the Torklift StableLoad upgrade kit part # TLA7310S which is a confirmed fit for your 2022 Chevy Silverado 1500 to give your suspension additional support. Basically these kits work by forcing your overload springs to activate sooner which is an easy and simple way to gain additional support that your truck in a way already has but isn't using. These also easily are disabled too so you wouldn't end up having a harsher ride quality.

  • Kayak Carrier that Can Fit Thule TracOne Ladder Rack
  • We have kayak carriers that can fit the channels on top of the Thule TracOne ladder rack part # TH27000XT like the Lockrack carrier part # LR54FR but the Thule Compass can not attach in this manner and doesn't have clamps big enough to fit around the TracRac load bars. The Lockrack is a really great option that fits well and also is easy to load and use.

  • Soft Starter for Operating RV Air Conditioner With Inverter Generator
  • The Furrion Chill, # FR86PR already has a soft start capacitor installed at time of build. However, to answer your question of operating an AC unit from an inverter type generator yes, it is more easily done with the SoftStartRV for RV AC Units, # SSR54FR, or similar type component in place. You are better assured of successful operation with one in place but it is not a given that one will be needed. Most situations something such as this will be needed but other factors influence the...

  • Adapter Needed To Install Derale Transmission Cooler On 2016 Chevy Silverado 5.3
  • The Derale 19-Row Stacked-Plate Transmission Cooler Kit, -6 AN Inlets - Class V # D13403 is a great option for your 2016 Chevy Silverado with the 5.3 V8. This does fit most vehicles with the 5/16" transmission lines, but I recommend adding the Derale Snap-In Radiator Adapter Fitting for GM # D13035. This adapter allows you to easily connect the radiator to the transmission cooler. I attached a demonstration video for you.

  • Is It Okay To Be Over Weight Rating for Fastway e2 Weight Distribution System
  • In regards to a weight distribution system like the Fastway e2, it's better to be well under than over the weight capacity. If you're over then you'll lose any sort of warranty associated with the product and the system won't preform nearly as well as one appropriately rated. I highly recommend upgrading to the Replacement 1K Trunnion Spring Bars part # FA92-01-1099.

  • Suspension Enhancement for 2018 Chevy Silverado 1500 with 2 inch Lowering Kit
  • Since shackle lowering kits lower the distance between the frame of the truck and the axle suspension enhancement fits are affected. So what you'd want instead is the SlamAir suspension kit part # AL59209 which fits your truck and with 2 inch lowering kits.

  • Replacement Handle for Reese Slider Hitch part # RP30051
  • The handle that actuates the jaws for the # RP30051 Reese 16K fifth wheel hitch is indeed the # 58055 replacement handle you mentioned. The Handle, Foam Grip and cotter pin are included. If you need the actuating rod the handle attaches to as well, it is part # 30579. Klip rings, part # 58054 are needed to attach the actuating rod to the hitch. If you were needing the handle for the sliding unit, that is part # 58161.

  • Recommended Front Mounted Hitch Receiver for 2017 Chevy Silverado 1500
  • The Draw-Tite Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - 2" # 65064 is the confirmed fit for your 2017 Silverado 1500 and will work well for most applications including your cooler rack. There is not a customized receiver like you stated with two receivers on either side to support a cooler rack. There is not a manufacturer that makes a dual receiver like you are stating so my recommendation is to use this front mounted hitch with a cargo carrier. For your cargo carrier I recommend...

  • Recommendations For Using Prodigy P2 Brake Controller In 2015 Silverado 1500 And 2006 Nissan Titan
  • TheTekonsha Prodigy P2, part # 90885 would work great for both vehicles. For the Silverado, the plug-in adapter you would need for the brake controller is part # 3016. The connector on the truck is located behind the junction box cover under the dash to the left of the brake pedal. You just open the junction box and plug one end of the adapter into the appropriate connector. On your Titan, you will need the plug-in adapter, part # 3050-P. The connector on the Titan will be under the...

  • Can Vehicle Snow Chains be Used on Trailer Tires
  • There aren't tire chains made specifically for trailer tires/applications. If you can get me your tire size I can help you pick out a set that would work. The Titan chains part # TC1034 would fit a couple common trailer tire sizes like 205/75-14 and 205/75-15.

  • Can a 2015 Chevy Silverado 1500 be Flat Towed/Parts Needed to Flat Tow
  • I did some checking on your vehicle and your 2015 Chevy Silverado with 5.3 V8 4x4 is flat-towable as-is without speed restrictions. You will need to check the owners manual of your truck for the full procedures on this. For a base plate kit the part # DM9518200 is a confirmed fit for your truck and would work well with the Demco Excali-Bar III tow bar part # DM9511013. For lighting you can use the diode kit, # RM-15267, and not have to worry about cutting into the taillight housing....

  • What is Best Air Pressure to Run in Air Bag Kit to Maximize Ride Quality and Support
  • Finding the best air pressure with the Air Lift Load Lifter kit part # AL88288 you have installed on your truck will be a matter of trial and error. I'd try go put in as little air as needed to prevent the bottoming out and you'd have the best combination of support and ride quality.
