view full answer... - Helper Spring Recommendation for 1996 GMC Sierra K2500 Carrying Truck Bed Camper
- When installed on an unloaded vehicle (no load in bed) there will be an approximately 1/2 to 1 inch gap between the Timbren Aeon spring and the axle tube. Once the bed is loaded with cargo or a slide-in camper, this gap will be taken up and the spring would be in direct contact with the axle tube.
The Timbren # TUR350 you looked at isn't the correct fit for your 1996 K2500, you'll want to use # TGMRCK25 instead. The springs won't provide any lift, but will definitely provide up to 6000...

- The weight capacity of your vehicle will ultimately be limited by the setup's weakest component. I took at look at the owner's manual for your 1998 GMC K1500 and there are more than a few possible towing capacities for your vehicle depending on the type of engine that you have. I recommend checking your manual to see exactly what this number is, as this will most likely be the limiting factor.
The LT33x12.50R15 tires on your truck each have a maximum load of 2,205 lbs at 35 PSI. The total...
view full answer... - Do You Need A Trailer Brake Controller When Towing a Trailer With Electric Brakes on 1997 GMC Sierra
- If your trailer was constructed with electric brakes you will need a brake controller to use those brakes. We do have a Curt Echo # C51180 which will not require the additional wiring for the brake controller. This means you can leave the blue wire disconnected in your engine compartment. The Curt Echo will allow you to control up to 2 braking axles from your smart phone using the Curt Echo app. It gets its power from the charge line and uses the brake lights to determine when the brake...

- We have what you'll need, but you need to measure your frame to pick out which kit is the correct one.

See diagram attached.
The part # 131-15 would be then if that measurement is 3 inches.

- The black and blue wiring that comes from the brake controller is 12 gauge so you will need butt connector # DW05745-5 to hook them correctly to the vehicle, and for the red and white wire they're both 16 gauge wire so you will need butt connector # DW05744-5.
To make your 4 flat wire harness on your 1993 GMC C/K Series Pickup you would need wiring # ETBC7. This will adapt your 4 flat into a 7 round plug and four flat, which will provide the wires necessary to hook up to your controller...

- The Hopkins Endurance # HM47180 would work great for converting your 4-way to a 7-way and 4-way connector. The included instructions have a wiring diagram for the trailer plug you can check out.
If you just want the 7-way trailer connector, I recommend part # PK12706. If you want the trailer connector with jacketed wire I recommend part # H20043.
To avoid ugly wiring and taped up connectors I recommend using a junction box like part # 38656. This is attached to the trailer and has terminals...

- There is a Husky bracket kit that is confirmed to fit your 1997 GMC 1500, but the Husky Brackets part # HT30563 that you referenced is not the correct kit for your vehicle.
You would want the Husky Custom Mounting Bracket Kit # HT31402. While this kit is a little more expensive, it is a custom install kit that would install in about half the time and would minimize drilling when compared to a universal kit like the one you referenced.

view full answer... - Recommended Equipment to Tow With a 1995 GMC 3500
- Oh I wouldn't be too concerned with your 1995 GMC 3500 Dually with a 454 motor having trouble pulling a camper trailer. A truck that is a 3500 model is made for heavy-duty applications.
The best way to find out the towing weight capacity of any vehicle is by looking into the owner's manual. If the owner's manual doesn't have that information sometimes you can find it on a sticker inside the door frame.
The only great concern that I would have is the age of the vehicle. Even if it is pristine...

- The Dexter Electric Over Hydraulic Brake Actuator, part # K71-651, for the disc brakes will require a minimum 9 amp/hour breakaway kit like the Dexter Breakaway Kit, part # 34-285. This breakaway kit is designed to work with the Dexter electric over hydraulic brake actuator. If the breakaway set-up you have now is a 12 volt system with a minimum of 9 amp/hour battery, you should be fine to use the setup you have.

view full answer... - Trailer Hitch for 1998 GMC C/K 3500 Cab/Chassis with Dual Rear Wheels
- We've got you covered. The cab and chassis models did indeed have a 34 inch frame width. I'm not sure what kind of capacity you're needing, but because it's a dump truck on a 1 ton chassis, I'll give you a medium and a heavy duty option.
For a heavy duty option with a 15000 lb towing capacity/1500 lb tongue weight capacity, I'd recommend the Curt Class V hitch, part # C15511. If you don't need quite that much grunt, Curt offers the Class IV # C14082 with a 10K towing/1000 lb

view full answer... - Where to Measure to Pick Out Correct Fan Spacer for Belt Driven Fan
- I can help you determine the size spacer you'll need but we don't have the exact figure you are looking for.
If the fan you are mounting does not have a shroud, measure from the flange on your vehicle's water pump to the radiator. Subtract 3" from that measurement to get your spacer size. If you are installing a fan with a shroud, measure from the water pump's flange to the edge of the mounted shroud and add 3/4" for your spacer length.
