The only Timbren kit that fits the 1500, 2500, and 3500 models of the 2006 Chevy Silverado pickups is the Kit # TGMRTT35S for severe service vehicles. Aside from that all of the other kits are model specific.

For your 3500 you'll need the kit # TUR350 rated for 6,000 lbs or the kit # TGMRCK35S rated for 8,600 lbs. I recommend the 6K version if you tow or haul occasionally, but you'll want the 8.6K version if you're towing or hauling on a regular basis.

Attached are some review videos for you to check out.

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…
