1996 Chevrolet Questions and Answers

• Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 1996 Chevy Z-71
  
• The first thing you are going to need to flat tow your 1996 Chevy C/K Z-71 is a set of base plates. For that I recommend you get the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit # BX1623. This is the correct kit for your truck as long as its not a 1-ton model or a diesel. Next you are going to need a set of tow bars. Since your truck more than likely weighs more than 5,000 lbs you will need a tow bar with additional capacity. I would recommend the Blue Ox Aladdin Tow Bar # BX4325. This tow bar has 6,500 lbs of cap

• Can Optronics LED Trailer Light, Part # STL79RB, Replace Tail Lights on 1996 Chevy S-10 Pickup
  
• The Optronics LED 3-Function Trailer Light, Part # STL79RB, is intended for use on a trailer to provide stop, turn and tail light functions. It is not intended for use as a replacement tail light on a vehicle, although this sort of application is not uncommon. You might want to check with your local DOT or highway patrol just to confirm that using these and separate amber bulbs for turn signals, as you intend to do, is legal in your state. Since your 1996 Chevy S-10 Pickup uses a combined li

• Ultra-Fab RV Bumper Hitch Recommendation For Motor Home
  
• While we do have a hitch that will work for your needs, the Ultra-Fab Bumper Mount Hitch # UF35-946402 you referenced is designed specifically for a 4 inch by 4 inch bumper and would not fit. The Ultra-Fab Bumper # UF35-946401 is a perfect fit as it is intended for 4 inch by 4-1/2 inch RV bumpers with a weight capacity of 200 lbs. It features a 2-inch receiver opening with a plate measuring 5-7/8 inches by 4-7/8 inches. Just a reminder, this is intended for RV-approved accessories only and

• Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 1996 Chevy C/K Series Pickup Truck Behind a Motor Home
  
• I am glad you emailed us because there are some things that you need to be aware of. First, the Tow Ready tow bar, # 63180 is only rated for 5,000 pounds and your 1996 Chevy Silverado could easily exceed this capacity. The other problem with the tow bar is that it is only rated for a maximum speed of 45 miles per hour. We need to get you a proper set up. The first thing you are going to want to do is consult the truck owners manual to determine if it can be flat towed and if so what special r

• Locating the Stop Light Wire on a 1996 Chevrolet Pickup for a Brake Controller
  
• If the white wire that you found is not hot when the brake pedal is pressed, then it is not the correct wire from the stop light switch that you need for the brake controller. There may be multiple white wires under the dash, I recommend looking for a heavier gauge white wire in a bundle of wires along the steering column. There will be a bundle of wires going from what looks like a 50 pin connector, up the steering column toward the turn signal, the wire can be located in that bundle. This

• What are the Wiring and Color Codes for a Bully Trailer Brake Controller
  
• If you have a Bully TC-301 brake controller it should have the following wiring colors and codes: Black = ground Red = 12 volt power Blue = input from stop light switch Yellow = out to trailer brakes This is different than a connector like # 20263. On it the colors are black for 12 volt power, white for ground, blue for output to trailer brakes, and red for input to brake controller. But on a 1996 Chevy Suburban you will need to hardwire in the controller because there is no port or wir

• What Color is Reverse Light Wire on a 1996 Chevrolet K1500 Pickup
  
• The best way to confirm which wire activates your vehicle reverse lights is to remove one taillight assembly and visually identify which lead goes to the reverse light bulb. To remove the taillight, open the tailgate and locate and remove the two taillight retaining screws. This will allow you to pull out the taillight assembly for access to the wiring. Then, for safety sake, it will be useful to have a helper turn the ignition to the on position without starting the vehicle. Then place t

• Draw-Tite Wiring Recommendation for a 1996 Chevy Blazer
  
• If the six wires you found coming off of your 1996 Chevy Blazer are for trailer wiring you could certainly use 4 of them to wire up this 4-Pole Hardwire Kit Including Circuit Tester # 18252. The colors should match up color for color from your wiring to the # 18252. You will want to use the included circuit tester to make sure you wire it up correctly. On part # 18252 connect the White wire to a clean metal surface for ground, Brown to the running light circuit, Yellow to left turn and bra

• Front Mount Hitch Recommendation for a 1996 Chevrolet Tahoe
  
• We carry two front mount hitches for your 1996 Chevrolet Tahoe. The Curt Front Hitch, # 31042 is a bolt-on hitch that does not require any welding or drilling to install, however, it will only fit 4WD models. If you have a 2WD model, then you will need to get the Draw-Tite Front Mount Hitch, # 65005. This is also a bolt-on application, however, some vehicles may not have a third enlarged hole drilled through the frame and if this is the case you will need to drill a 1/2 inch hole in the frame

• 205-75/15 Tire and Wheel Combination Needed for 5 on 3-1/2 inch Bolt Pattern Travel Trailer Hubs
  
• At this time we do not carry a trailer wheel with a 5 on 3-1/2 inch bolt pattern. The smallest 5 bolt pattern we carry is the 5 on 4-1/2 inch bolt pattern that you mentioned. The only smaller bolt pattern that we carry is the 4 on 4 inch bolt pattern, see link. Tires for the 4 on 4 inch bolt pattern typically only go up to 13 inch wheel diameters. You may be measuring your wheel bolt pattern incorrectly. Just in case this is the issue, I added a link to our trailer wheel bolt pattern measu

• Truck Bed Ladder Rack Options for a 1996 Chevrolet 1500 With a Stepside Bed
  
• I have a ladder rack that will fit your 1996 Chevrolet 1500 with stepside bed, however, I spoke with my contact at DeWalt and verified that the Industrail-Grade Full-Frame Steel Ladder Rack, # DIGFFR360, will not fit your 1996 Chevrolet 1500 stepside and they do not have a spec for the minimum width the rack can accommodate. I would recommend using the TracRac Ladder Rack, # TA27000-01. This ladder rack is designed for stepside or flareside style truck beds and does not require any drilling o

• Yes, you can use the Blue Ox Diamond hitch underbed gooseneck, # DH1303, on your 1996 Chevrolet C/K Series Pickup. Blue Ox recommends the use of Loctite, # LT37420, when installing their hitches. You may also want to consider the 90-degree wiring harness, # 54701-003, to retain the use of your vehicle factory 7-way connector at the rear of the truck and have a connection in the bed for the gooseneck trailer.

• Installation of 5th Wheel Hitch in 1996 Chevrolet 1500 C/K Short Bed Truck
  
• When installing a fifth-wheel hitch, the hitch would have to somehow be attached to the frame of the truck. If you wanted to have the hitch permanently installed to your truck, I would recommend taking the truck and hitch to a qualified trailer professional. However, when installing the hitch, it may sit fairly lower than how the hitch is designed to be installed in the bed of the truck. Since your 1996 Chevrolet C/K Truck is a short bed, it is recommended to use a slider type fifth-wheel hit

Instead, take a look at the Westin Tube Steps, # 25-0850. These are listed as a fit for your truck. I have included a link to the installation details for you. I have also included a link to all of the step options for your truck.

• Recommend Weight Distribution System For Old 1977 Trailer Towed by 1996 Chevrolet Suburban
  
• When selecting a weight distribution system, you will want to use one that has a tongue capacity range that will encompass 10 to 15 percent of the Gross Trailer Weight (GTW) when the trailer is fully loaded and ready to be towed. We do have weight distribution systems that feature sway control. I would recommend going with a weight distribution system that features dual-cam sway control, as it acts to stop trailer sway before it even starts. You will need to check your trailer for the GTW

• Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancer # TGMRCK25 Recommendation for a 1996 Chevy C/K Truck
  
• The Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System, part # TGMRCK25, is much easier to install than air springs, no air hoses need to be run, no compressors or gauges to hook up. This kit will also not affect your unloaded ride quality as much as adding a leaf to your suspension would. The # TGMRCK25, would only be used when you were hauling enough weight to use a significant portion of your suspension, otherwise the ride of your vehicle would be completely unaffected. That would be the main dif

• How Long are U-Bolts in Remov-A-Ball Gooseneck Hitch Safety Chain Kit # 6308, 1996 Chevy 3500
  
• According to the instructions, linked for reference, the Replacement U-Bolt Safety Chain Kit for Remov-A-Ball Gooseneck Hitch, # 6308, are 5-1/2 inches long. I do know that the bed is not as thick as that 1 inch thick steel plate, so considering that the bolts will have to go through the bed, the plate, possibly the hitch depending on how it is designed and how much space there is, these bolts will probably be long enough to install and to use on your 1996 Chevy C/K series 3500.
