Expert Answers about GMC Savana Van


  • Best Air Bag Rear Suspension Enhancement For a 2007 GMC Savana 3500 Cutaway Chassis Box Truck
  • For your 2007 GMC Savana 3500 Cutaway I recommend the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate Air Helper Springs with Internal Jounce Bumpers # AL88245. These air bags will help your suspension support up to 5,000lbs of the load, this will not increase your capacity only help with ride height and stability. The internal jounce bumper will add stability and better absorb road shock. To control the air pressure in the air bags I recommend the Air Lift WirelessAIR Compressor System # AL74000EZ....

  • Where is Brake Controller Install Wire on 2001 GMC Savana
  • On your 2001 GMC Savana there is a blue wire under the dash that is used for the blue wire of a brake controller. It is located under the dash near the emergency brake pedal. Some models will require a wiring kit to run wire to the battery. This may require drilling a hole in the firewall to run the wire. You may use kit # 5506 which includes 20, 30, and 40 amp breakers.

  • Recommended Wiring Harness for a 2002 GMC Savana Van
  • There is definitely something that doesn't seem right here. What I recommend is the Tow Ready wiring harness part # 118377. It will definitely bypass the issues you are currently experiencing. This will provide the 4-Way connector to the back of your 2002 GMC Savana to power your trailer lights. This harness includes the T-one connector that combines the brake and turn signal functions on your 2002 GMC Savana. I highly recommend using dielectric grease to help prevent corrosion from water...

  • Cost Effective Suspension Enhancement System for a 2009 GMC Savana Van
  • The most cost effective suspension enhancement system we have for a 2009 GMC Savana Van is the SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs part # SSR-204-40 for 1500 models or part # SSR-205-47 for 2500 and 3500 models. These two options are more cost effective than the Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System part # TGMRG25C but they will also not provide as much support although will still work to reduce sag/squat.

  • 2022 GMC Savana Cargo Van Awning Option
  • I have an option for you, but unfortunately we do not have an option that uses the gutter to mount. The only awnings we have that will work will either require a roof rack or direct mount (which will require drilling). We do not currently have any roof racks for the 2022 GMC Savana. For a direct mount awning we have the Thule HideAway Awning # TH490018. This would install directly to the vans sidewall and you would need the Vehicle Mounting Bracket Kit # TH1500602390 to complete the installatio...

  • How Does Brake Controller Install in 2017 GMC Savana Van
  • For some vehicles there is an install harness that will allows for a quick brake controller install, but not all vehicles come equipped with this. Your 2017 GMC Savana does not have this and you'd have to hardwire in a controller. Vehicles with the 7-Way tow package have the blue output brake wire already ran from the back to the front. It is located under the dash near the emergency brake pedal. Some models will require a wiring kit to run wire to the battery. This may require drilling...

  • Trailer Wiring Recommendation for a 1999 GMC Savana Van with Tow Package
  • If you checked the paper work that came with your 1999 GMC Savana and it said that it came with the heavy duty tow package I can almost guarantee all that you would need for trailer wiring would be the # C55240 that you referenced. What you can do is check behind the jack storage cover to find the needed connector for this harness. (See picture). If you find it and test the pins of the connector with a circuit tester like part # PTW2993 and the circuits are active there then you will know...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch For 2014 GMC Savana Cutaway Chassis
  • The trailer hitches we have available for the 2014 GMC Savana Van are designed to fit the full size van model. To see if these will fit your Cutaway version, I just recommend taking a couple measurements on the vehicle's frame. The trailer hitch I recommend is the Draw-Tite Ultra Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 41946. This is a heavy-duty Class V hitch that will provide a 2 inch receiver opening and a towing capacity of 10,000 pounds, although you will want to check the capacity of the...

  • Universal Fit Trailer Towing Mirror Recommendation for a GMC Savana 1500 Van
  • For a universal fit towing mirror, we have several options. There are basically two categories. First are the type that attach to your existing mirrors. The benefit of these mirrors is that they are easily adjustable, smaller so they are easier to stow, and since they attach to your existing mirrors their positioning does not seem foreign. In this category, I would recommend the Universal Strap-On Towing Mirror (Each), # 7070. I have included a link to a video review of these mirrors below. The...

  • Suspension Enhancement for 2010 GMC Savana AWD Van
  • For adjustable suspension support for the rear of your 2010 GMC Savana Van the best option is the RoadActive Suspension systems like the part # RAS2613-M which is a confirmed fit. This can provide up to an additional 2,000 lbs of suspension support, is easily adjustable, and unlike other options will improve ride quality when loaded and unloaded. The air spring kits like the # AL88205 only fit if you have a 2500 or 3500 model van.

  • 4-Way to 7-Way Recommendation for Installing Brake Controller in 2012 GMC Savana Van
  • You would need to convert the 4-way to a 7-way so that you can install the brake controller. For that you will want the Brake Controller Install Kit and 7-Way Adapter part # ETBC7. I attached installation instructions and an install video for this product as well. For a very basic controller that works well we have the part # TK63VR which will install just like the video I attached.

  • Weight Distribution System Recommendation for a 2010 GMC Savana 3500 Towing a 9k Trailer
  • Actually your best option is going to be a weight distribution system. A WD system not only helps with the rear suspension sag but it also helps distribute some of the trailer's tongue weight up to the front axle of the vehicle greatly increasing the braking and handling performance while towing. The best way to pick out a weight distribution system is to base it off of the loaded tongue weight of the setup when it is loaded and ready to tow. This figure also includes the weight of any...

From there you would need to convert the 4-way to a 7-way so that you can install the brake controller. For that you will want the Brake Controller Install Kit and 7-Way Adapter part # ETBC7.
