2006 GMC Questions and Answers

• Will Rage Double Motorcycle Carrier # AMC6002 Work on 2006 GMC Envoy with 400lb Tongue Weight
  
• The lowest-rated component in a system will determine the overall limit. If your Envoy has a 2-inch trailer hitch receiver rated at 400 lbs tongue weight then 400 pounds is the overall limit when using any type of carrier, including the 600-lb-rated Rage. Against this 400-lb tongue weight capacity counts the actual weight of the carrier itself, which in the case of the Rage # AMC6002 is about 69 lbs. Based on this, your hitch then has a remaining cargo-carrying capacity of about 331 lbs.

We do offer SuperSprings Suspension Stabilizer # SSA10 which will enhance your factory springs, however, we do not sell replacement leaf spring for vehicles.

• Can Truck Luggage # TL-606 Hold More Than 4 Sets of Skis When Used With Thule Ski Rack # TH92725
  
• After speaking with my contact at Truck Luggage I was informed that Truck Luggage Ski Rack # TL-606 will hold the Thule Ski Carrier # TH92725 without issue. The reason it is rated for either 4 pairs of skis or 2 snowboards is the way Truck Luggage measured the ski rack. Truck Luggage laid the skis side by side and to stay on the safe side decided that is what it was rated. It was the same process for the snowboards. My contact at Truck Luggage continued with saying that it is an extremel

• Is the Blue Ox AutoStop Supplemental Braking System Legal In the United States and Canada
  
• Most states and Canadian Provinces require some sort of supplemental braking on a vehicle being flat towed and the Blue Ox AutoStop is going to fit that description so it will be legal for use. What you will want to do to be certain is contact the DMV of highway patrol where you will be traveling and ask if there is any special requirement for supplemental braking. There are none that I am aware of but laws vary so much from place to place that there could be some place that does have a special

• What Does an OC Error Code Mean on a Valley Journey HD Trailer Brake Controller
  
• A flashing OC message on the Valley Journey HD brake controller means that the trailer brake circuit is lost or intermittent. With no trailer connected, the brake controller might think there is a connection for some reason. It will also do this for a few moments after the brake circuit (trailer) is disconnected. Check for any loose wires under the dash. I also recommend cleaning the vehicle and trailer connectors as dirt or corrosion could be causing the problem. Also try sliding the manual

• NC Error Message on Trailer Brake Controller Installed on a 2006 GMC Sierra Duramax Diesel
  
• First, check the trailer side connector for any dirt and corrosion and clean it out. Corrosion can also build up at the back of a connector where the wires attach, You referenced part # 90885-3020P but the 3020-P connector is not correct for a 2006 GMC Sierra. You would need to use # 3015-P. To test the trailer, after making sure the connector is clean and corrosion free, make sure the main ground is attached to a clean and corrosion free bare metal surface. Then check the brake magnet wiring

• Where are the Holes Drilled in Truck Bed for Installation of Reese Elite 5th Wheel Rails
  
• To determine where the holes will need to be drilled in the bed of your 2006 GMC Sierra you will get the cross members mounted and then run the pointed bolt through the bottom of the crossmember till it makes contact with the bottom of the truck bed and then it will make a dimple in the truck bed that will be the guide for drilling the holes for the pucks. As to where are the holes in the frame to tighten the brackets too, check out the picture I attached that I took from the installation ins

• How to Apply Grease using E-Z Lube Spindles
  
• I recommend greasing your bearings and hubs as follows - first, grease your bearings and spindle by hand or with a bearing packer like part # L70025. If you are going to do it by hand, start with a gob of grease in your palm and then press the bearing into the grease with some force. Next, insert your bearings and grease seal in the hub and mount your hub on your spindle. You should slowly pump grease into the spindle. As you are pumping the grease into the spindle, occasionally rotate the h

• Tips for Installing a Transmission Cooler On a 2006 GMC Savana Van with 5.3L Engine
  
• We have several videos showing typical transmission cooler installation but none with your exact vehicle. However, since transmission coolers are not vehicle specific, installation is virtually the same on all vehicles. Some might require additional fitting and flaring lines, others do not. The fittings and the mounting locations are going to be what is different amongst different vehicles but otherwise the videos I have linked will be a good guide. I have also linked an FAQ article on transm

• Is the HindSight Wireless Backup Camera, # 67300, Water Resistant
  
• The HindSight Wireless Backup Camera, # 67300, is very similar to the Swift Hitch # 04928. Basically what protects both of them from the elements is the plastic cover that you see on the backs of the cameras. This makes them more weather resistant but not water proof. It would be a good idea to take either camera off when not in use to keep the elements from shortening its life span.

• Curt Class V Hitch Recommendation for 2006 GMC Savana 3500 Diesel
  
• Yes, the CURT Trailer Hitch Receiver # C15320 has a 2 inch hitch opening, has a gross trailer weight rating of 16,000 lbs and will work on your 2006 GMC Savana 3500 diesel.

• Is There Installation Video for Reese 5th Wheel Base Rail, Part # RP56007-53, on a 2006 GMC Sierra?
  
• We do not happen to have done a video on the installation of this particular base rail kit on your specific year/make/model vehicle. However, I have attached the installation instructions. This 10-bolt base rail kit requires the following tools: 3/4 inch and 15/16 inch wrenches; 1/8 and 9/16 inch drill bits; a center punch, measuring tape and 3/8 Allen head socket. If you have a plastic bed liner in your Sierra you will need to make cuts to remove sections to allow metal-to-metal contact betw

• 7-Way Wiring Diagram for a 2006 GMC C5500
  
• The standard layout for a 7-Way plug can be viewed in the included diagram. If your 2006 GMC C5500 has a factory 7-Way, this should be the same layout used for your existing plug. If it is an aftermarket 7-Way, it is possible that the plug was wired with a different layout, depending on the installer. You can use a circuit tester like part # 3808 to verify that your 7-Way is laid out the same way as the picture.

• Installing K Source Custom Fit Towing Mirrors on a 2006 GMC Sierra 2500HD
  
• Installation could have been affected by the weather. If you leave the towing mirrors, # KS80800, inside for a while so they are warm, that might be the solution. I have also included a link to a video that shows a typical installation that might help. Our installers clip the top on first then rotate it down to snap onto the bottom. Other than that there really is no trick to it. If your truck has extendable, telescoping, or full chrome mirrors, the K Source towing mirrors will not fit.

• Thule Snow Tire Chain Recommendation for a 2006 GMC Savana
  
• We have a quite a few Thule tire chains for you to choose from for the 265/70R16 Tires on your 2006 GMC Savana. The Thule K-Summit Tire Chains, # TH02230K77, are the easiest and fastest tire chains to install using a self-centering and self-tensioning system. These chains have a class S rating, meaning they will work for vehicles with limited wheel well clearance. The K-Summits also have a quick release mechanism, rim protection and icebreakers. Another Thule tire chain that I would recommen

• In-Bed Trailer Wiring Harness for a 5th Wheel Trailer on a 2006 GMC Sierra 2500HD
  
• There are a couple of options to add 5th wheel wiring in the bed of your 2006 GMC Sierra with the factory installed 7-Way at the back of the truck. You can use # 20110 that you have referenced. Generally speaking, a 90 degree harness like # 51-97-410 is easier to install because the 90 degree angle at the back of the 7-Way fits easier than the straight out design of # 20110. I have included a link to a video showing a typical installation for you to view.

• Recommendation For Airbag Suspension on 2006 GMC Sierra Denali 4x4 1500 Light Duty Truck
  
• Firestone will only offer the Sport-Rite Air Springs, part # F2320, and the Work-Rite Helper Springs, part # F8605, for your 2006 GMC Sierra Denali 4x4 1500 Light Duty truck. They do not offer a Ride -Rite system for your Light Duty vehicle. The 2006 Chevrolet/GMC 1500 series light duty trucks do not have enough room between the springs and wheel and tire for the Ride-Rite system. The diameter of the convoluted air bag is too large to fit. The Sport-Rite system does not require as much sp

• Does Timbren Suspension Enhancement for a 2006 GMC Sierra Raise the Front End of the Truck
  
• The Timbren suspension enhancement springs, # TGMFK15A are not designed to lift the truck but they will prevent it from sagging when the plow is attached essentially achieving the same goal as lifting would. I have included a link to the installation instructions for you to view. You can see in the diagrams that the springs will reduce the travel of the factory suspension and offer better support than the suspension alone. I have also included a link to our FAQ article on Timbrens for you.

• Watersport Carrier Recommendation for a 2006 GMC Envoy with Factory Roof Rack
  
• The Rola Multi-Pivot Watercraft Carrier, # 59876, was designed to fit the specific shape of the Rola Sportz crossbars or a certain size T-slot on top of the bars. It has not been tested on other bars so I cannot say if it will fit or not. What I recommend is to use some foam blocks, like # ABR525. These blocks are universal and can fit square load bars, round crossbars, factory bars and naked roofs. They also include bow and stern tie downs.

• Towing a 5th Wheel Trailer with a B&W Gooseneck Trailer Hitch with a 2006 GMC Sierra 2500HD
  
• A 5th wheel trailer hitch will interfere with the gooseneck hitch on your 2006 GMC Sierra but I do have a solution for you. You can use the Hi-Rise 5th wheel hitch, # 9480. It is designed to fit with a BandW turnover ball. It has a capacity of 18,000 pounds and a pin weight capacity of 4,500 pounds. However, this unit does not have a sliding or offset feature. Since you have a short bed truck, if the trailer is too wide, you may not have the clearance to make 90 degree turns. I have included

• Will the Hopkins 7-Way to 4- and 5-Way Trailer Connector Adapter Work on a 2006 GMC Envoy
  
• Provided that the 7-Way on your 2006 GMC Envoy is fully functional, then all of the pins on the Hopkins adapter, # HM47675, will work. On the harness, the pin for using this unit with a 5-Way flat requires that the reverse light circuit on the 7-Way is attached and functions. This is the center pin on a 7-Way. If it is not working on the Envoy, you will need to run a wire from the back center pin on the 7-Way to a reverse light and tap into the wire there. The 12 volt power socket on the 7

• Will the K Source Custom Extendable Towing Mirrors Work with Memory Settings on a 2006 GMC Sierra
  
• The memory setting feature in OEM vehicles is a patented feature that aftermarket manufacturers are not allowed to duplicate, so they will not adjust to the memory settings. I spoke with my contact at K Source and he told me that there are instructions on how to disengage the memory settings for the mirrors included in the box. If the memory settings are not disengaged when you install the K Source Custom Extendable Towing Mirrors, # KS62075-76G, then you will have to adjust your mirrors every t

• Can a 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch be Installed on a 2006 GMC Sierra with an Underbed Gooseneck Hitch
  
• It is highly unlikely that you will be able to install a 5th wheel trailer hitch in your 2006 GMC Sierra as long as the gooseneck hitch is installed. The problem is that a 5th wheel hitch installation kit will require the same or some of the same mounting locations as the gooseneck hitch so they would interfere with each other. What you can do is use an adapter to fit on the 5th wheel trailer to use with the gooseneck hitch. There are a couple of different options. If you have a Lippert 0719

• Will the Derale Series 8000 Plate-Fin Transmission Cooler Kit Fit on a 2006 GMC Canyon

Transmission coolers are not vehicle specific so the Plate-Fin Transmission Cooler Kit, # D13502, will fit as long as there is room in front of the vehicle between the air conditioning condenser and the grill to mount it. We have a couple of transmission cooler installation videos that detail different ways to install a transmission cooler for you to review. I would select the largest cooler possible in your situation. The

• Differences Between Round Tube and Square Tube Fifth Wheel Slider Hitches
  
• The round tube slider will provide 12 inches of front to back travel, compared to 10 inches on a square tube slider. That could provide an extra 2 inches of turning clearance. A round tube slider will eliminate binding, which seems to allow better movement of the hitch on the slider, as compared to the square tube slider. Usually any truck that has a bed less than 8 feet long is considered a short bed truck. It is recommended for short bed trucks to use a slider fifth wheel hitch. I am

• How to Determine if the Tires are Different or Snow Tire Chains are Different for 265/75R16 Tires
  
• It sounds like you are covering most of the bases here. If all of the tires on your truck are 265/75R16 tires and the chains have the same number of side links and cross links and the side and cross links are the same size, then the only other things that could be an issue are proper inflation of the tires, the tire brand or manufacture date being different. Check the inflation of your tires, and the brand and model of the tires first and if these check out. If so, check the manufacture date

• Is there a Video that Shows How to Perform the Fishwire Technique to Install a Trailer Hitch
  
• The CURT Front Mount Receiver, # 31055, does bolt to the vehicle frame rails but the bolts do not go all the way through each frame rail. Instead, like you have said, you will fishwire the hardware into the inside of each frame rail through access holes in the frame. The fishwire technique is not as difficult as you might think. Even though I do not have a video showing the hitch being installed on a 2006 GMC Envoy, I can provide a link that explains and shows how to fishwire hardware. I have

• Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2006 GMC Yukon XL
  
• There are several different base plates available depending on the model 2006 GMC Yukon XL you have. For a 1500 or Denali, use XL Style Base Plates, # 199-5. For a 2500, use # 3115-1. From the research I did, the Yukon has a curb weight of up to 5,770 pounds. With gear loaded in it, it could easily exceed 6,000 pounds. For this reason, I recommend going with a 10,000 pound capacity tow bar like the Roadmaster Blackhawk 2 All Terrain, # RM-422. I have included a link to the installation detail
