2001 GMC Sierra Questions and Answers


  • Correct Replacement Step Pad for Westin Platinum Series Nerf Bars
  • In order to determine which replacement pad you need, you will need to measure the length of one of your existing pads and look at the bar where the missing pad used to mount and count the number of holes or barrel nuts in the bar. If your remaining step pads are 24 inches long, and use 5 barrel nuts for attachment, use part # 21-0001. This pad is marked Westin Platinum Oval. If your pads are 20 inches long and use 4 clips, use # 60-2175. This pad is marked Westin Platinum Series. If neith

  • How to Wire a Dexter Axle Predator Brake Controller 58-8 on a 2001 GMC Sierra
  • The light blue wire mentioned in the video of the # HM40975-11998 7 and 4-pole trailer connector being installed on a 2002 Silverado is for a camper shell brake light, and is not for use with an electric brake controller. The electric brake wire on your 2001 GMC Sierra is run from the port below the dash into the engine compartment, but it does not continue back to the rear wiring bundle. You will need to finish the connection by running a wire from the 7-Way in the rear of the truck up to t

  • Where is the Ball Hole Drilled for Draw-Tite Gooseneck 9465-34 for 2001 GMC Sierra 2500HD short bed
  • When installing the Part # 9465-34 Hide-A-Goose hitch, a hole must be drilled in the bed of the truck. Mark and drill a 1/4 inch hole 44-1/2 inches from the rear of the bed and centered between the wheel wells. Using a hole saw, enlarge the pilot hole to the final diameter hole size of 3-1/2 inches. File the edges as needed. Normally, the center of the gooseneck ball will be directly above or slightly forward, within an inch or 2, of the center of the axle but it is possible that on some truc

  • Front Mount Trailer Hitch Options for a 2001 GMC Sierra 2500
  • First, for a 2001 GMC Sierra 2500 the correct front mount hitch is going to be # 65028 from Draw-Tite or # 31108 from Curt. The hitch you referenced # 31049 is for Ford vehicles. I have included links to the installation instructions for each of the hitches that will fit your truck so you can see what each installation entails. There is no drilling required on the Draw-Tite or Curt hitches unless you will need to enlarge some holes. No new holes will be drilled.

  • Towing Mirror Recommendation for a 2001 GMC Sierra With Full Chrome Mirrors
  • We do have universal fit towing mirror options that will work with the full chrome mirrors on your 2001 GMC Sierra, however, the custom slip-on towing mirrors that we carry are only designed to fit the base model OEM mirrors that have either the black or chrome cap (see photo). According to my contact at CIPA, who is one of my custom towing mirror manufacturers, the full chrome mirrors that were made for the 1999 to 2002 GMC Sierra were larger that the base mirror which is why the slip-on mirror

  • Weight Distribution and Sway Control Recommendation for a 9,990 Pound Trailer and 2001 GMC Sierra
  • The 1,000 pound Fastway system has a tongue weight capacity of 1,000 pounds which would be too heavy for the 640 pounds of your trailer, but at the same time, the 10,000 pound capacity of the system would be too low since the gross trailer weight is a mere 10 pounds from the maximum of the system. I recommend going with a system that is rated for 600 to 1,200 pounds tongue weight and 12,000 pounds gross trailer weight like the Reese SC system, # RP66155. This system comes with everything you

  • How Much Torque and Horsepower is Gained Using an Edge Programmer on a 2001 GMC Sierra 4.8 Liter Gas
  • On a gas motor like the 4.8 liter in your 2001 GMC Sierra, the power gains will not be as drastic as they would be with a diesel engine. But, you will experience gains when Using the Edge Evolution, # EP85150. Edge lists the power gains as follows: Level 0: Stock Level 1: Transmission Tuning Only Level 2: 5 Horsepower - 5 Foot Pounds of Torque Level 3: 10 Horsepower - 10 Foot Pounds of Torque Level 4: 15 Horsepower - 15 Foot Pounds of Torque I have included a link to the installation d

  • Thule Tire Chain Recommendation for a 2001 GMC Sierra 1500 2WD
  • As long as the owners manual of your 2001 GMC Sierra 1500 2wd does not specify that you should only use cables I would personally go with chains over cables. They typically give better traction in the snow than the cable style chains. The Thule Standard Snow Tire Chains # TH01571255 that you referenced would be a good choice for you as they are designed to fit on your tire size. I attached a review video for these chains as well as an FAQ article on Thule tire chains for you to check out.

  • How To Get A Round Electrical Connector Bracket On A Round Tube Hitch For A 2001 GMC 2500 HD
  • I can get you a round electrical connector bracket for a round tube hitch but it will not be a part of the hitch. It will have to be attached to the hitch. The hitches that I have for your 2001 GMC 2500 HD do not have a electrical connector bracket welded to the hitch. The Hidden Hitch, # 87186, that you have referenced will only fit a GMC 2500 Light Duty truck, not a GMC 2500 Heavy Duty. For your 2001 GMC 2500 HD I would recommend the Hidden Hitch, # 87442. It is a round tube hitch with a 6,

  • Will The MagnaFlow Muffler, # MF12468, Fit A 2001 GMC Sierra C-3 Short Bed 6.0 V-8
  • Because the 2001 GMC C-3 Truck is a limited version of the Sierra model, Magnaflow does not list a fitment for that vehicle. The MagnaFlow Muffler, # MF12468, you have referenced is a universal muffler that is 5 inches tall and 8 inches wide and 24 inches long. The muffler body length is 18 inches. The fitments they do list for similar trucks like the 2001 GMC C-3 are the 5 inches tall and 11 inches wide and 28 inches long with a muffler body length of 22 inches. They would be the Magn

  • Yes, you will need a brake controller to operate your trailer brakes. For your 2001 GMC Sierra, our most popular brake controller is the Tekonsha Prodigy, part # 90185.

One end of the Adapter plugs into the Prodigy, the other end plugs into the installation port located on the firewall behind the emergency brake pedal.
