Westin Tube Step Installation - 2006 GMC Sierra 2500HD

Today on this 2006 GMC Sierra 2500 series regular cab, we are going to be installing the Westin tube steps part number 23-1405. Okay, we are taking a look here at the driver side of the vehicle. And we want to go ahead and point out the body mounting bolts that are located just underneath the cab of the vehicle and that is what our tube steps are going to be attaching to. We have one here at the front we are going to be using and it is just rearward of the front tire and just about even with the front of the driver side door. And then we have one at the rear which is just forward of the rear edge of the driver side door as well. 0:35

Gooseneck Trailer Hitch Installation - 2006 GMC Sierra

Today we are going to be installing Hide-a-Goose part number 9465-4434 on a 2006 GMC Sierra 2500. The first thing we want to do is to go ahead and lower the spare tire. That will give us a lot more room to install the gooseneck system. The second step is to go ahead and cut out a section of the heat shield, which is basically forward of the axle in between the two hat channels, which is basically parallel to the gas tank as well. We need to go ahead and cut that section out to allow us to get the crossmembers into place. OK, with that section of the heat shield removed, we want to next go inside the bed. And we are going to go ahead and mark and then drill our hole for the opening in the Hide-a-Goose system. You want to check with your directions to verify the appropriate dimension that you are going to be drilling from. On this particular short-bed model, we are going to go ahead and mark from the end of the bed at 44-1/2 inches, and then we just want to center that in between the two wheel wells, which will land us right in the center of this rib here. And with my dimensions marked out, I am just going to go ahead and center punch that location, and then we are going to go ahead and drill out our 3-1/2 inch hole.

Trailer Wiring Harness Installation - 2006 GMC Sierra

Today we are going to install a 4-pole and 7-pole connector by Hoppy, part number 30955, on a 2006 GMC Sierra. This wiring connector that we are installing goes right into the factory connector. So I would start with lowering the spare tire for good visibility. You are going to want to take the existing wiring down so you can use this excess slack to run it to the bumper so you can mount the connector. Once you get the wiring harness taken down and the cap pulled off, then you are going to need to mount your mounting bracket to the bumper. Once you find a good location, mount the bracket with the self-tapping screws.

Trailer Hitch Installation - 2006 GMC Sierra

Today we are going to install a Curt hitch, part number 13322, on a 2006 GMC Sierra. We lowered the spare tire, just so we have more room to work with. And I will go ahead and point out all the mounting locations which we are going to use for the hitch. There is an existing bolt here on the frame rail, and it is on both sides. And then we are going to use the bolt right behind it this is where we are going to have to install hardware. And then in the center there are two more mounting locations on the hitch, and these are already threaded, so this should be pretty straightforward.

• 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

• 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

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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 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.

• 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

• 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

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.

I also recommend Cleaners for aFe Pro Dry S Air Filter, # AFE90-59999, to clean the dry filter.

The GCVWR is the maximum allowable weight capacity for your vehicle, including the vehicle, trailer and contents.

The Class S snow chain is a common requirement on newer vehicles that have larger, low-profile tires.
