Expert Answers about GMC


  • What Is An OEM Prep Package And How Do I Know If I Have It
  • The OEM prep package consists of 4 "pucks" in the bed of the truck that will allow you to drop in puck style hitches for easy installation and removal, that gives you a completely clear bed when not in use. The B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Hitch w/ Slider for Chevy/GMC Towing Prep Package # BWRVK3775 you were looking at has four puck style feet that drop into the pucks and a lever on each leg that simply turns to lock or unlock the leg in the puck. The prep package will typically also...

  • Differences In Firestone Ride-Rite F2709 and Red Label F2613 For 2023 GMC Sierra 3500
  • The differences between the Firestone Ride Rite # F2613 and the Red Label # F2709 for your 2023 GMC Sierra 3500 Crew Cab Long Bed is the air pressure and max weight capacity. The Ride-Rite # F2613 are rated for 5,000lbs and 100 PSI, where the Red Label # F2709 are rated for 7,500lbs and 150 PSI. Since you have only 2280lbs of pin weight there is zero reason to go with the heavy duty bags, as you are well within the range of the # F2613 so that's what I recommend. I do also recommend...

  • Will PullRite SuperGlide Hit Tailgate on 2025 GMC Sierra 2500
  • Hey Steve! The PullRite SuperGlide # PUL83RR will not contact the tailgate on your 2025 GMC Sierra 2500. They have tested this extensively and said making contact and causing damage is not a concern. This is a really great hitch and autoslide is the way to go. One thing you will need to do is identify the pin box on your 2025 Cougar 29RLI since a capture plate is required for this 5th wheel hitch. Once you have identified it you can choose from the following: -PullRite SuperGlide Quick...

  • Recommended Air Bags for a 2021 GMC Sierra 1500 w/ a Diesel Engine
  • You are correct, with that diesel engine you are limited. The best option is going to be the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate Air Helper Springs with Internal Jounce Bumpers item # AL88288. These have a 5,000 lbs load leveling capacity and come with custom fit brackets that attach to your 2021 GMC Sierra 1500's frame. They do not require drilling unless you already have 5th wheel brackets installed. They are compatible with in bed hitches but you'll need to drill some holes on both sides....

  • Is the Curt Gooseneck Hitch as Good as the B&W for My 2025 GMC Sierra 3500HD?
  • Hi Om, Congrats on the new truck! What is your favorite new feature? We always aim to carry the best brands, and while Curt is definitely a solid choice, B&W is the cream of the crop! Their products are not only top-tier in quality, but they’re also made right here in the USA, which we love to support. For your 2025 GMC Sierra 3500, the correct B&W kit is #BWGNRK1020. It looks like it wasn’t showing up in our fit guide because we’re currently waiting on inventory. Good news though, it...

  • Suspension Enhancement for 2020 GMC Sierra 2500
  • If you're towing most of the time then I would go with the Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System # TGMRCK25D. These will provide the most support for your 2020 GMC Sierra 2500 while towing your 5th wheel. If you're more concerned about ride quality then the RoadActive Suspension # RAS3611-HD would be the better choice. The Timbren has a tendency to be a bit rough when you aren't towing or hauling. If you want the best option possible I would go with the Firestone Air Bags # F2709....

  • How Is The Self-Contained Hydraulic Jack e33VV Powered?
  • Hello Josh, thanks for reaching out. The Self-Contained Hydraulic Jack # e33VV cannot be powered by the 7-way. It needs its own full size deep cycle RV/marine battery. You will also need battery cables for connecting to the HPU.

  • Rear Suspension Helper Springs for a 2018 GMC Sierra 2500 Towing a 5th Wheel Trailer
  • Hello, I will be happy to help you select some helper springs to improve the ride and level out the truck when you are towing. Timbren springs are an easy install but they will make the ride stiffer when you are not towing. The similar SumoSprings Solo # SSR-207-47 will also level out the truck but will not be as stiff when not towing compared to the Timbren springs. Another option to consider is RoadActive Suspension # RAS3611-HD. Installation is easy with this kit as well. It will...

  • Does 2020 GMC Sierra 3500 Short Bed Need Slider Hitch to Tow 2016 Solitude 321RL
  • I checked out your 2016 Solitude 321RL and since it has a tapered nose and an extended pin box you wouldn't need a slider hitch installed in the bed of your 2020 GMC Sierra 3500. You could use the B and W Companion Fixed Hitch for GM rail kit part # BWRVK3715 and you'd have the best fifth wheel hitch available for your truck as it's very easy to use, reliable, and also made in the USA.

  • Recommended Sway Control w/out Having to Use a Weight Distribution Hitch
  • Hey Bill. The best option to address sway without using a weight distribution hitch will be to use the Curt True Course item # C94VV. This is an electronic sway device that mounts directly to the side of your trailer's tongue and plugs into your 7-way connector. It has sensors built into it that sense when the trailer is swaying and applies the brakes to pull the trailer straight. What kind of trailer do you have and why aren't you interested in a weight distribution hitch?

  • Lift Kit Needed for #11 Torflex Axles with Top Mounting Holes
  • Thank you for the pictures! I reached out to my contact at Dexter Axle who was able to confirm that you have #11 Torflex axles so the correct lift kit is part # K71-724-02. Since yours has top mounting holes you also need the bracket kit # DX57FR for this lift kit to fit properly.

  • Does Blade Stiffener Have to be Connected for Safe Usage of Detail K2 Hitch Mount Snowplow
  • Good question! The blade stiffeners that come with the Detail K2 Snowplow # K2AVAL8422 don't necessarily have to be used. I reached out to my contact at Detail K2 who said that the only time that those stiffeners really need to be used is if you will be pushing a lot of heavy snow. Otherwise you'll be just fine using it on your 2003 GMC Yukon XL without those connected. The reason why you're having trouble is because those will connect if the receiver is the same height as the crosstube,...

  • Recommended Single-Bike Rack With A 2" Shank For A 55lb E-Bike
  • Hi Tom, For a single-bike rack with a true 2" shank I recommend the Kuat Piston SR Bike Rack for 1 Bike # KU88ZR. This bike rack is rated for use on all vehicles, 5th wheels, motorhomes, travel trailers, and flat towed vehicles so you'll be able to transfer it over to whatever you want. When on a vehicle it has a 100lb capacity and when on an RV the weight capacity will dip down to 67lbs to accommodate for the harsher ride quality an RV would place on the rack. The shank base of this...

  • Air Lift LoadLifter Air Bag Helper Springs For a 2024 GMC Sierra 1500 AT4
  • Air lift offers their basic LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs # AL57388 and the Ultimate Springs # AL88388 which fit your 2024 GMC Sierra 1500 AT4. I would recommend installing the Ultimate system as they include the internal jounce bumpers inside the air springs. These greatly help to reduce bouncing when towing heavy loads and they can also work to protect the air springs from being pinched should you have a sudden deflation. The Air Lift WirelessAIR Compressor System # AL74000 will...

  • Will the Curt Gooseneck Hitch # C60642 Install in a Different Spot Than the B&W # BWGNRK1020?
  • Hello Nick, The Hitch ball for the Curt # C60642 will sit above or slightly forward of the rear truck axle. I attached 2 pictures of the underbody of the 2022 GMC Sierra, as you can see that the Curt # C60642 sits in the same spot as the B&W # BWGNRK1020.

  • Determining Which Reese Goose Box Fits 2020 Keystone Montana High Country 305RL and 345RL
  • I would love to help, but you will need to confirm which pin boxes are currently on your 2020 Keystone Montana High Country 305RL and 345RL to see if one of the Reese Goose Boxes will fit as we do not have a way to determine which pin box was installed on your trailer. To do this you will need to check each pin box for the model number, this is typically a 4 digit number like 1621. If this model number sticker is missing then just send me a picture of the tag that has the serial number...

  • Replacement Trailer Jack Recommendation for Dutton-Lainson Jack on Ranger Trailer
  • We definitely have some trailer jacks you can use as a replacement for your Dutton-Lainson but it doesn't look like anything we have will work as a direct replacement. If you'd like to stick with the Dutton-Lainson brand then I recommend checking out the Swivel Marine Trailer Jack with Caster Wheel # DL67MR which is a bolt-on installation and rated for 1,500 lbs. Attached is a review video for you to check out.

  • Will SumoSprings Fit 2025 GMC Sierra 1500 Denali With Adaptive Ride Control
  • Hi Brian; the SumoSprings # SS45FR will not fit your 2025 Sierra 1500 with Adaptive Ride Control. The answer from Sam is a little older and probably written before anyone knew about the restriction. I went ahead and corrected it, thank you for pointing this out. However, that doesn't solve the problem of suspension enhancement for your truck. The only option is the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs # F2609. If you don't mind monitoring the pressure in the air bags these are the way...

  • How to Keep LED Turn Signal Lights on Toolbox From Flashing with Brake Pedal Pressed
  • Hi Richard! It sounds like you're needing to install the Load Resistor Kit for LED Turn Signals # DI34ZR on the turn signals you've installed on your toolbox. Since LEDs don't require as much power as incandescent bulbs, sometimes we see some power "leak through" and cause the LED lights to flash like what you're experiencing. The resistor kit makes the LEDs "look" like incandescent lights to your wiring system so this kind of thing doesn't happen.
