Transmission Cooler Installation - 2004 Chevrolet TrailBlazer
Today on our 2004 Chevy Trailblazer we'll be installing the Durale Series 8000 Plate-fin Transmission Cooler Kit, part number D13503. Before we can begin installing the cooler, we'll fist need to go ahead and gain accessto the front radiator and/or A/C cooler. To do this we'll go ahead and remove the frontbumper cover and the grille. Starting with the front bumper cover underneath, we'll goahead and remove the two fasteners here on the driver's side, securing the bumpercover to the bumper structure. We've got a push-pin fastener we'll remove first andthen a bolt. Now we'll go ahead and repeat the same process on the passenger's side.Next we have four push-pin fasteners located near the license plate bracket that willneed to be removed.
WeatherTech Rear Floor Liner Review - 2005 Chevrolet TrailBlazer
Today were looking at a 2005 Chevy Trailblazer. Were going to be installing the Weathertech floor liners in the second row, part number WT460072, grey in color. Weve already removed the factory or old floor mats and installed the Weathertech liner. Weathertech liners are custom molded to fit the vehicle and will often use the factory mounting points or hooks when applicable. As you can see this is a custom fit liner and fits the shape of the vehicles floor. In this application the liner fits all the way from the drivers side to the passengers side, as a one piece mat.
Trailer Brake Controller Installation - 2005 Chevrolet TrailBlazer
Today we're working on a 2005 Chevy TrailBlazer. We're going to install the Tekonsha P-3 Brake Controller, product number 90195. Our first step is to remove the lower kick panel. There are several fasteners that will have to be removed. Ok, with our kick panel lowered we need to locate the manufacturer's wiring that we're going to connect to. This white tag is the indicator that we're looking for and then you can see the taped off ends here taped up to the manufacturer's harness.
Trailer Brake Controller Installation - 2004 Chevrolet Trailblazer
Today on this 2004 Chevrolet Trailblazer with factory installed tow package we are going to be installing the Tekonsha P3 brake controller part number 90195. The first thing I want to note before we do our installation is what exactly the factory 7-pole looks like on the back of the Trailblazer that is going to indicate whether or not this vehicle has the wires underneath the dash to hook the brake controller into. Looking at the rear bumper area here you can see the factory installed 7-pole is kind of underneath mounted at an angle and again it is mounted to the factory hitch as well. On the lid itself there is the GM logo printed on it, that is a kind of cut and dry indicator right there as well. If you have the factory 7-pole you will have the wires under the dash to hook your brake controller to, if you do not you are likely going to have to do a manual hardwire of the brake controller and you will need to purchase some other components. 00:50
Trailer Brake Controller Installation - 2006 Chevrolet Trailblazer
Today on this 2006 Chevrolet Trailblazer we are going to install the Prodigy P2 brake controller part number 90885. The first step is to get access to the wire harness itself. There is a plastic trim panel right here along this edge that goes toward the front of the vehicle. There are two screws here and here that we have to remove so you can take it down and out of the way to get to the wire harness. From here it should just unsnap. Over here on the far left is the wires for the brake controller. They are taped up so you will probably have to pull them out a little and we have our four wires. 00:43
EGR Tapeless Window Visors Review
Today we are going to show you how to install EGR tapeless window visors, part # 571351. This will fit the Chevrolet Trailblazer 02-06 and the GMC Envoy XL 02-06. This kit is a four piece system that covers all four windows, it is pretty simple to install. We are going to start with the first half front windows. All they do is pop in and slide into the track. To slide it in the track, there will be a lot of twisting and bending, but it will bend and flex to accommodate that. Once you get the window visors installed, a good thing is to run your windows up and down a few times. The window will drag on the plastic a little bit as you can see. The plastic does get pushed up by the window. What you want to do is actually take some time and run them up and down a few times and let them sit in the sunlight preferably or at least in a warm environment. That way it will conform to the window and the seal around the window.
EGR Bug Shield Installation - 2002 Chevy Trailblazer
Today we are going to install a bug shield on a 2002 Chevy Trailblazer and we are going to be using part number 321251 bug shield accessory for your vehicle. And now we will get started on showing you how it gets installed. Once you have your hood open, the first thing you want to do with your bug shield is go ahead and put it up there and give it a good test fit. Get a feel for how it is going to mount up, find the locations of the mounting holes, and get a good idea of what is going on. Once you figure out how the bug shield is going to install, go ahead and install the hardware. We will show you how that works next. Once you have the hardware installed on the hood we will loosely attach our bug shield. The hardware will just simply screw into the plastic blocks in the hood. Once we have our bug shield loosely installed, we will lower the hood and slide it back and forth in a way where it is centered on the hood the way you want it.

- Weight Distribution for a 2003 Chevy TrailBlazer Towing a 2000 Jayco Kiwi 17A
- I did some research and it looks like the Jayco Kiwi 17A can have a gross trailer weight up to 3,500 pounds. Typically, tongue weight is 10 to 15 percent of the gross trailer weight which means that the trailer could have a tongue weight up to 350 to 525 pounds. You also would add in the weight of any cargo carried behind the rear axle of the tow vehicle. I have included a link to an FAQ on calculating the tongue weight.

- A tow bar is one of the parts needed to flat tow your 2003 Chevrolet Trailblazer. An installation guide is located on the product page.

- Recommended Weight Distribution For a 2004 Chevy Trailblazer Towing 5400 Pound Trailer
- For a trailer with 750 pounds tongue weight, I recommend a system rated for 600 to 1,200 pounds. In addition to the trailer tongue weight, you have to add top that the weight of anything loaded behind the rear axle of the tow vehicle. That can increase the tongue weight so the wide range of 600 to 1,200 pound systems is the best bet.
If you like the Pro Series systems, you can use # 49587. The only thing you will need to add to this system is a properly sized ball for the coupler. For a 2 inc

- Weight Distribution Recommendation for a Trailer with Surge Brakes Towed by a 2004 Trailblazer
- We do have weight distribution systems that will work with the surge brakes on your EZ Loader boat trailer. I have attached a link to all of the weight distribution systems we carry that are compatible with surge brakes.
The most important thing to consider when choosing a weight distribution system is the tongue weight of your trailer when it is fully loaded and ready to tow. Anything loaded behind the rear axle in your 2004 Chevrolet Trailblazer will contribute to the tongue weight as well.

- Since the towing capacity of your 2009 Chevrolet TrailBlazer is 5,200 lbs and you are towing a 4,600-lb dry weight trailer, you will want to be careful and not overload the trailer with extra cargo that might put you over the 5,200-lb limit. Also, when loading the trailer make sure to load 60 percent of the cargo closer to the front (tongue) of the trailer. This will also help with sway control of the trailer.
