Timbren helper springs # TGMRCK15S will fit your 2003 Chevy Silverado 1500 light duty. The videos are trucks our customers brought us for the installation. We haven't had someone bring in a 2003 for this product so there isn't a video. But installation on your 2003 will be nearly identical to the 2005 which I have linked for you.

We have run into this quite a few times in the past, and the best option will be replacing the Lance 7-pin connector with a standard 7-way blade connector like the #PK12706. This will give you a standard 7-way connector to plug into the factory 7-way…
