• Looking to Adapt a 6 Round Vehicle Plug to 7 Blade Trailer Plug
• The Hopkins 6-Pole to 7-Pole Trailer Wiring Adapter # 47435 will definitely work as an adapter, but you will indeed have no reverse lights. I do also need to mention that the 6 Round style plug is not going to be a very common style so it may not be a bad idea to upgrade it to a standard 7 Blade. The Hopkins 7-Pole and 4-Pole Trailer Connector Sockets w/ Mounting Bracket and Wiring # HM40975-11998 will require some cutting and splicing to get installed, but will match the 7 Blade on your...

• Will an Old Yakima RocketBox Fit a 2012 GMC Yukon Denali with Factory Roof Rack
• You would not be able to use the newer mounting hardware on your older Yakima RocketBox. You would have to modify the box so much that it would compromise the structural integrity of the box making it unsafe for use. The remaining option is to use a new box since there are no roof racks confirmed to fit your 2012 GMC Yukon Denali since it has a factory roof rack. Or, you could use a roof mounted cargo bag such as # RL100S30 which is going to cost less than a new box or roof rack and...

• Voyager Brake Controller Wiring Harness for a 2003 GMC Yukon XLT with Factory Tow Package
• For your 2003 GMC Yukon with factory tow package you would need brake controller wiring harness # 3015-P for your Voyager brake controller. The other one, # 3026-P, is not a fit for the Yukon. There may also be some additional connections that will need to be made under the hood to make everything fully functional. I have included a link to a help article that explains these connections.

• Would the Derale Combination Transmission and Engine Oil Cooler # D15902 fit a 2008 GMC Yukon
• We have not had the chance to install the Derale Combination Transmission and Engine Oil Cooler # D15902 on a 2008 GMC Yukon like yours so I cant say for certain exactly how you would route the oil lines. But I am sure there is a way for you to route the lines so that they avoid pinch points and heat. I am not sure if you will have enough line to install the cooler the way you described, but I did go out to our warehouse and measure the length of the lines and found that the thinner line...

• How to Install a Tekonsha P2 on a 2005 GMC Yukon Denali
• The connector you found is not for brake controller installation. That looks like an OBDII connector. You will want to look down below that for a black box just below that. The # 3015-P will plug into a port in that junction box. The top row, second from the left is the correct port to use. Check out the install video and help article I attached as well.

• Recommended Rear Suspension Enhancement For 2004 GMC Yukon W/ Air Leveling Shocks
• I have another option for you, but the Firestone Coil-Rite Air Helper Spring Kit # F4108 you were looking at is not confirmed to fit your 2004 GMC Yukon with the air leveling shocks. Instead you will need the SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs - Rear Axle # SSR-204-40 which will work around your factory air leveling shocks and will give you up to 1000lbs of load leveling support when towing a trailer or carrying a heavy payload. I included a video of the # SSR-204-40 for you to take...

• Which Dexter Leaf Spring Over-Under Conversion Kit for Catalina 27
• If your leaf springs are currently on the underside of your axle, you can use an over-under kit to place the springs atop the axle, which will lift your trailer by an amount approximately equal to the diameter of your axle. These kits are only compatible with double-eye leaf springs. For a 2-3/8 inch diameter axle, use part # K71-384-00 or for a 3 inch diameter axle, use part # K71-385-00. Simply measure the diameter of your axle to determine which kit is needed. Keep in mind that altering...

• Can Roof Mounted Cargo Box Attach to Factory Crossbars on 2007 GMC Yukon
• You can certainly attach a roof mounted cargo box directly to the factory crossbars of your 2007 Yukon. Due relatively large roof of your Yukon, you should be able to fit a pretty large cargo box up there. When choosing a box, pay careful attention to the crossbar spread the box is compatible with, and make sure it's compatible with the bar spread (center to center distance between front and rear crossbar) of your vehicle. Your owner's manual or a sticker placed on the roof rack itself...

• Yes, the etrailer Cargo Carrier part # e98874 is going to fit the factory 2 inch hitch you have on your 2013 GMC Yukon Denali.

• A stacked plate cooler like the part # D13402 will be more efficient than your current cooler but your best option is to install the cooler after your factory one so that you get the efficiency of both coolers to maximize the cooling effect. You'd also want the fitting part # D13035 to make the install easier.

• Ground Clearance Requirements for my 2021 GMC Yukon
• There is not a rule on how much clearance you need. It really comes down to the terrain you are driving over. For general use however having 10-11 inches of clearance will be sufficient when using the B&W Tow & Stow 2-Ball Mount part # BWTS10038B. There are several vehicles on the market where their hitches sit within 7 or 8 inches of the ground with out issues.

• Bike Rack for Towing for GMC Yukon
• We have a few options to accomplish what you are wanting to do. You could go with a towing bike rack that features an integrated slot for a ball mount, like the Swagman Original towing rack, part # S64675. The only possible drawback to using a towing bike rack is the fact that when towing with it, the tongue weight capacity of the rack is pretty low, 350 lbs. This includes the rack, the weight of the bikes on it, and the trailer tongue weight. If you have a very small trailer with a low...

• Weight Distribution System Recommend for 2016 GMC Yukon Towing Trailer with 600 lb Tongue Weight
• 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 cargo behind the rear axle of the tow vehicle. I attached a help article on determining tongue weight for you to check out as well. You will want the loaded tongue weight of your setup to fall right in the middle of the tongue weight range of the system you use. The magnetic ride control of your...
