Expert Reply:
If you already replaced your 2003 Chevy Suburban's 7-way with something like the Curt # C55774, and you are still blowing fuses the only thing it can be is a bad ground or - far more likely a short on the wiring.
Check to ensure your grounds are connected to bare metal free of any dirt, paint, or corrosion, which is an easy check. The more difficult part is going to be a check on the wires, as you'll need to trace it back and use Circuit Tester # PTW2979 along the wiring to try and find where the short is. Alternatively just try and trace the wiring to see if there is any nicked, broken, or damaged. If you can't find it by tracing it you'll need to take it to a mechanic or your Chevy dealer to have it checked out.
