You also could have blown fuses on the tow package fuses, check your fuse box for these circuits. Other than that I would recommend you use a circuit tester like part # 3808 to test for voltage at the back of the connector to see if the voltage is making it into the connector but not through it.

• Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2008 Chevy Silverado 1500 2 Wheel Drive
  
• From the research I did you would need to install a lube pump in order to flat tow your 2008 Chevy 1500. However, you will need to go by what is in the owners manual of your vehicle as the final authority, or you can contact a Chevy dealership for their recommendations. At this time we do not carry lube pumps either. If you do determine that you can flat tow your vehicle the first thing you are going to need is set of base plates to provide the attachment point from the vehicle to the tow bar

• Can a 2008 Chevy Silverado 2500HD Tow a 16,500 Pound 5th Wheel Trailer
  
• The GVWR of a vehicle is set in stone. There is nothing you can do to increase the capacity short of replacing the axle, suspension, and other load bearing and drive train components. What suspension enhancement like # TGMRCK25S does is help support the load and keep the rear end from sagging. Since you have a 3/4 ton truck, you are going to be able to tow just about anything. Consult the vehicle owners manual for the towing capacities of the truck. The gross COMBINED vehicle weight rating is
