Demco 5th Wheel/Gooseneck Wiring Harness Installation - 2008 Chevrolet Silverado- Video
Today on our 2008 Chevrolet-Silverado 3500HD, we're going to be taking a look at and installing the Demco 5th wheel gooseneck, 90 degree wiring harness with 7 pole plug with a 10 foot cord, part number DM8555002. First thing we'll need to do is we'll need to find a good location to mount our new 7-way connector. It's going to go in the inner wall of our bed here. Wherever you choose to do yours, you want to make sure that behind it there's no wiring or anything that's already there and also that you're going to have enough room that you can make sure that you can get your connector plugged on to the back of it behind this wall. We're going to put ours right up here, so it's nice high out of the way but still nice and easy to access. You want to drill a pilot hole, then I'll take a 2 inch hole saw and make a hole using that pilot hole that I just made. Let's now install the 7-way connector. more

Today in our 2008 Chevrolet Silverado, we'll be installing the Hopkins replacement multi-tow seven-way and four-way trailer connector, part number 30955. We'll start our install by removing the factory cover. You just twist out of place, pull that tab, and it slides out. With the factory cover removed, we'll take our wiring harness and just push it back through for now. We'll then take our new four and seven-pole connector and its wiring harness and push it through that hole as well. We're just going to kind of line it up in place there. Once it's in place, we'll make sure we have plenty of clearance and material to drill through and hold it in place. more
