Roadmaster Automatic Battery Disconnect Installation - 2017 Chevrolet Silverado 1500- Video

Speaker 1: Today on our 2017 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, we're going to be showing you how to install the Roadmaster battery disconnect switch for towed vehicle with supplemental braking system. Part number is RM-766.Now the need for an auto battery disconnect on the Silverado comes from the tendency for the battery to drain while we're flat towing the truck. This gives us a very quick and easy solution to go from tow mode, which is going to separate the connection in our positive battery cable, de-powering the entire truck, right into drive mode where we re-establish that connection. So we no longer are going to have to worry about trying to remove the battery cable or having one of those big switches underneath the hood that we constantly have to remember to switch back and forth.When we're ready to tow, we'll hit tow. When we're done flat towing and we're ready to start driving our vehicle, simply switch it into drive.Now to mount our battery disconnect, we want to keep it down somewhere kind of out of the way so we're not going to be bumping into it as we're working on our truck or something like that.We we're going to be going right underneath the coolant overflow tank here. We'll start by pulling these two hoses off. more

Demco Hijacker Underbed Rail Kit Installation - 2017 Chevrolet Silverado 1500- Video

Today on our 2017 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 we'll be having a look at and installing the Demco Underbed Rail and Installation Kit from Demco Hijacker UMS 5th Wheel and Gooseneck Trailer Hitches, part number DM8551008. All right, here's what our Demco Underbed System looks like installed. As you can see, it doesn't take up any of our valuable bed space. It's completely recessed underneath the bed of our truck, and when we're ready to put in a 5th wheel or a 5th wheel slider it'll just drop in to our puck system. This almost converts our truck to almost like a factory 5th wheel or gooseneck prep package, where they have the pucks underneath the truck. Now, when we're not towing it does come with these plugs that you can snap down into place to keep any dirt and debris from entering down into the rails, making it difficult for your slider or 5th wheel to go into place. When you're ready to tow, they lift out real easily. more
