2001 Chevrolet Questions and Answers

• Installing a Trailer Brake Controller in a 2001 Chevy Express Van with Factory Tow Package
  
• If your 2001 Chevy Express Van came with a factory 7-Way trailer connector then the blue output brake wire is already ran from the back to the front. It is located under the dash near the emergency brake pedal. The remaining wires will have to be hardwired. I have linked an FAQ article and video that will help you. You might not need all parts of the video and FAQ. To find the correct wire to attach to the red wire on the controller you will need a circuit tester like # 3808. Test the brake s

• 2001 Chevy Silverado 3500 Tail Lights Not Working and Brake Signal on 7-Way Not Working
  
• From what I have been able to find, the 2001 Chevy Silverado 3500 had what is called a 3-wire system. This means the turn signals are separate from the brake lights. If the lights you are using are designed for a 2 wire system then it they will not function properly. There are 2 possible options. First, you can get lights that do have separate turn signal functions. Second you can use a special converter on the truck wiring to take the separate signals and combine them to a 2-wire system (co

• Do Westin Sure-Grip Running Boards 27-6130-1035 Come with Install Kit for a 2001 Chevy Tahoe
  
• You are correct. The Westin Sure-Grip running boards, # 27-6130-1035, does come with the installation kit that is a custom fit for your 2001 Chevy Tahoe. I have included a link to the installation instructions for you to view. You will not need to add anything else for the installation but you may be interested in some accessories. You could use the gap strip # 27-9907 which covers up the little bit of space between the vehicle and the running board to provide a custom look. We also have lig

• Troubleshooting No Right Brake Light on a Trailer Towed by a 2001 Chevrolet Silverado
  
• The turn signal and brake light circuits on your 2001 Chevrolet Silverado are separate and trailers typically require a combined turn signal and brake light circuit because they only use one bulb for both functions at the tail lights. If you have a factory installed wiring harness on your truck, these circuits should already be combined at the trailer connector. If this is the case, then the issue may likely be a poor ground connection on your trailer. I recommend checking the ground connect

• Troubleshooting Brake Controller Installed on GM Truck
  
• If your brake controller is disconnected, no power should be reaching your trailer brakes. The fact that all you are seeing is the decimal on the display of the brake controller when a trailer is connected indicates that the connection between the output circuit of the brake controller and the trailer brakes is being interrupted somehow. If the decimal is displayed when the trailer is NOT connected, it indicates that the controller is receiving the wrong signal from the brake stoplight switc

• When Head Lights are On the Trailer Brakes Activate on 2001 Chevy Silverado and Voyage Brake Control
  
• You most likely have the brake controller red wire on the wrong circuit. There is something called an illumination circuit and if you are using a harness to plug into the truck, the pin for the red wire may be in the wrong place. The harness you should be using is # 3035-P for your Voyager brake controller. If you are looking at the back of the plug where the wires go into and blue tab is pointed down the wires should be in the following positions: Blue = top left Black = middle left Re

• Rail and Hitch Location for Curt 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch in a 2001 Chevy Silverado 2500HD Short Bed
  
• On a 2001 Chevy Silverado 2500HD short bed, if you measure from the rear edge of the bed forward 47-1/2 inches, that is where the back edge of the rear rail will be for installation kit # C16418-204. You would then use the hitch to place the forward rail. The hitch center line will be 1-1/2 inches forward of the center of the rear axle. If you measure from 1-1/2 inches forward of the rear axle to the back of the truck cab and then add 12 inches (the travel distance of the slider, # 16516). T

• Weight Distribution for a 2013 Forest River Wildwood and 2001 Chevy Silverado 2500HD
  
• To determine the best weight distribution system for you, you will first need to know the total tongue weight. This is calculated by taking the tongue weight of the trailer, when loaded and ready to tow, and then adding to that the weight of anything loaded behind the rear axle of the tow vehicle. Trailer tongue weight is typically 10 to 15 percent of the gross trailer weight, higher when there are items mounted on the trailer tongue. If loaded to the max the trailer would weigh 11,102 pounds

• If your 2001 Chevy Suburban 2500 came with a factory installed 7-Way trailer connector then you can use brake controller wiring harness # 3025-P with the P2 controller # 90885. There may be some additional connections you will need to make under the hood to make everything fully functional. I have included a link to an FAQ article that will help. If your Suburban did not come with the factory 7-Way you will need to add one using # 30955. The connector to plug this 7-Way into is located above

• Inexpensive Trailer Hitch and Ball Mount for a 2001 Chevy Malibu
  
• The most cost effective route you can take is to go with the Curt trailer hitch with the ball mount, hitch pin, and clip, # C120273. Adding the ball mount, pin and clip separately would cost more in this case. I have included a link to the installation instructions for this hitch for you to view. It is the same hitch as # C12027 but the difference is that the C120273 comes with the ball mount, pin, and clip. For a 1-7/8 inch ball use # 19256 and for a 2 inch use # 19258. For trailer wiring

• Where are the Holes Drilled Through the Bed to Install 5th Wheel Rails on a 2001 Chevy Silverado
  
• Each year, make, and model truck is going to have different installation kits so you cannot go by a video for a Dodge since you have a Chevy. There are several series, bed lengths, and trims of the 2001 Silverado available. If you can tell me specifically which you have I can tell you all the kits that fit and provide instruction links for them. Because different trucks use different kits the holes drilled through the bed can be in different places. If you were using the universal kit # RP300

• Backup Camera Recommendation for Mounting on a 27 ft Trailer
  
• I believe the best possible solution I can recommend for you would be the HindSight Wireless Backup Camera # 67300. This camera is wireless so you will not need to run wires from your vehicle to your trailer, and it has a very impressive range. I spoke to my contact at Tow Ready once before and they told me that the unobstructed range of this camera is 300 ft, and that in most situations where there are obstructions it has a range of 100 ft. With this system you have the option of adding additio

• Accessories for Flat Towing 2001 Chevy Silverado 2WD with Manual Transmission
  
• To flat tow a vehicle, you will need a base plate kit, a tow bar, safety cables, a lighting solution so that the towed vehicle has taillights that respond with those of the motorhome and a supplemental braking system. There are several different Roadmaster base plate kits that might be compatible with your truck. To determine which is the correct one for your truck, you will need to locate the three threaded holes on the side of the front frame member. Use a ruler to transfer the location of

• Which Taillight Converter for 2001 Chevy Silverado 1500

This unit converts the tow vehicle 3-wire separate tail light system to the trailer 2-wire combined system. Since this unit is intended for use with LEDs, which draw much less power than incandescent type lights, it will not be compatible with vehicles that use incandescent bulbs in the lighting system.

• Troubleshooting a 4 to 7-Way Adapter Not Functioning on a 2001 Chevy 2500 Silverado
  
• The reason only 4 wires run to your buddies adapter is because there is only 4 circuits from the 4-way so only 4 wires are run to the 7-way portion of the adapter. The remaining circuits are not being used so there is no wire run to them. You could most likely get your buddies adapter to work, but it sounds like it could be wired up wrong. You might try using a circuit tester like our part # 3808 to wire by function. The Adapter 4 Pole to 7 Pole # 30717 also would work if you just wanted

• Base Plates and Flat Towing Accessories for 2003 Saturn L Series
  
• For a 2003 Saturn LW200, you would need the Roadmaster Base Plate Kit, part # 523114-1. As you said, the 194-3 will fit the same model year Malibu, as well as the Olds Alero and Pontiac Grand Am SE, but not the Saturn L series. The # 523102-1 fits the 2000-2002 Saturn L series, but not the 2003 model. In addition to the base plates, you will also need a tow bar, safety cables, lighting and a supplemental braking system. I can recommend the Falcon 2 towbar, part # RM-520 and the # RM-64

• Trailer Brake Lights Do Not Work on a Trailer Towed by a 2001 Chevy Astro
  
• First, the correct wiring harness for a 2001 Chevy Astro is # 18252. This harness splices directly into the tail light wiring of the van. The brake lights and turn signals are on the same circuit. Check to see if the brake lights on the van are working. If they are then the most likely issue is a bad ground connection or a dirty/corroded trailer connector. Ground issues normally show up when there is more load on a system such as the constant 12 volt draw of the brake lights. You will want t
