Expert Answers about GMC Jimmy


  • Replacement Slide Out Motor and Gearbox for Thompson 7828696
  • The gearbox and motor do not come separately therefore you will need to purchase them both together as a whole. The correct replacement motor and gearbox for your trailer with a Thompson Motor/Gearbox 7828696 is the Replacement 18:1 Tuson Motor for Lippert Through-Frame Slide-outs part # LC125802. I called Lippert to confirm this for you.

  • Installing 7-Way Trailer Connector on 1996 GMC Jimmy
  • If you take a look at the photo I edited for you, you can see how to wire the 7-way connector on the vehicle. Make sure to wire by function, not wire color. Perhaps a better way of doing this would be to use an adapter like the # 37185. If you need to install a brake controller, you could use the ETBC7 install kit mentioned in the question you referred to. The 37185 adapter is included in the kit, and would plug directly into your existing 4-way, leaving 3 remaining wires to be attached....

  • Recommended Battery Charge Line for Motorhome with Toad
  • If you are only using a 4 way from your motorhome it won't have the 12V power line to charge your battery in your toad. If you use a 7-way then it has that already integrated if it is connected properly. I recommend using a 7-way on your motorhome which if you only have a 4-way means using a kit like # ETBC7L and # 12-1-1 for any extra length needed. Then I recommend using the Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267 and Roadmaster Battery Charge Line Kit for...

  • Is Right Hand Version of Submersible Trailer Tail Light ST57RB Available
  • We do offer the right hand version of the # ST57RB light. Part # ST56RS would feature the same functions as the left tail light, but does not include a license plate illuminator. I would recommend using some electrical tape and some dielectric grease, part # 11755, to make the installation as clean and secure as possible.

  • Parts Need to Flat Tow 1999 GMC Jimmy with 2010 Tioga Ranger Motorhome
  • The first thing you will need to flat tow your 1999 GMC Jimmy 4WD, is a base plate kit. The Roadmaster Base Plate Kit, part # 179-2, is the correct choice for a base plate kit if your Jimmy is not a Black Diamond, ZR2 or an Xtreme. The kit has a simple installation with no welding required. I have linked the installation details for you to check out. For a tow bar, I recommend the Roadmaster Falcon 2 Tow Bar, part # RM-520. The quick-disconnect system lets you quickly and easily mount...

  • Blue Ox Alpha Tow Bar # BX7365 Makes Popping Noise when Towing with Pickup Truck
  • The first thing that you will want to check is to make sure that the Blue Ox Alpha Tow Bar # BX7380 isn't binding. This could be the case if your tow bar is not completely level. When towing with a motorhome you have a 3" safe zone (see attached picture), but that is not the case when using your pickup. To remedy this you can use a High-Low adapter. I have attached our selection of adapters as well as a helpful article to help you decide if you need one or not. I also spoke with my contact...

  • Can a 2001 GMC Jimmy 4x4 Tow a 1993 Toyota Corolla on a 16 Foot Utility Trailer
  • From what I could find, the various models of the 2001 GMC Jimmy have a towing capacity of 3900 to 5400 pounds depending on the trim level. Consult your vehicle owners manual to determine the official capacity of your specific model. You will likely not have to use 4-wheel drive but the towing section in the owners manual should be able to tell you the proper procedure. Based on what I found on the curb weight of the heaviest 1993 Toyota Corolla it will weigh in at about 2500 pounds. You...

  • 4-Pole Wiring Harness for 1999 GMC Jimmy
  • If your 1999 GMC Jimmy does not have a round U.S. Car connector tucked up under the bumper or spare to allow you to plug in a part like # 118384, or a bundle of wires you can connect to a 4-pole part like # HM41225 you can still install a trailer harness by splicing to the signal wires at one of the tail lights. The best option is to hard wire a universal powered harness like # C59496 which will isolate and protect the truck's wiring from any potential shorts on the trailer. This is a...

  • Finding the Stop Light Switch Wire on a 1999 GMC Jimmy
  • When locating the stop light switch wire, there really is no standard wire color on any vehicle. In all reality, if the manufacturer runs out of, let's say red wire, then they will most likely just grab whatever wiring that they can to finish the job. What I recommend doing is using a Circuit Tester # PTW2993 to test the wiring on your 1999 GMC Jimmy. You will need to make sure that you connect your brake controller to the cold side of the stop light switch. This will be the wire that...

  • Dimensions of Curt Trailer Hitch to fit 1995 GMC Jimmy
  • I confirmed by checking in our warehouse and measuring the Curt Class III receiver hitch # C13020 for you. It's 41 inches wide from one mounting bracket to the other. The rearmost bolt hole on the top of the brackets is 5-1/4 inches above the receiver tube. 1995 was the first year of the second generation GMC Jimmy model.

  • Availability of Base Plates to Flat Tow 2000 GMC Jimmy 4WD
  • If your Jimmy is not the Xtreme or Black Diamond model, we offer two Roadmaster base plate kits that are compatible with 4WD Jimmy models. From all the information I could find online, your Jimmy is capable of being flat towed if it has the NP-236 transfer case, but I would recommend you confirm this for yourself by checking your owner's manual and with your GMC dealer. If using a fixed, non-removable base plate is okay, you can go with the Roadmaster # 165-2 base plate kit. If you are...

  • I was able to find a picture of a similar Tahoe Q7 as your 2003 model and it used post-style guide ons like the part # CE27640 which are 60 inch tall guide ons that would work well for you. I attached an install video for you to check out as well.

  • How To Install A 7-Way Trailer Connector On A 1994 GMC Jimmy
  • To install a 7-way connector on the back of your vehicle you will first need to install a 4-flat connector and then use the Brake Controller 7 & 4 Way Installation Kit, # ETBC7, to hardwire a 7-way connector to the your vehicle. If you have the full size 1994 GMC Jimmy you will need to install the Curt T-One Wiring Harness, # C58044. This will give you a 4-flat trailer connector at the rear of your vehicle.

  • Best Brake Controllers for a 2000 GMC Jimmy
  • If your 2000 GMC Jimmy came with a factory installed 7-Way trailer connector then the only item you will need is the brake controller itself. The vehicle will already have wiring for a brake controller located under the dash and to the left of the steering column. It is held together with a white tag. For a brake controller I recommend the P2 # 90885 because it is easy to set up and use and it is reliable. If you have limited space the Redarc Tow-Pro Elite # RED44FR is a great option as...

  • Installing Brake Controller in 1998 GMC Jimmy with Cut Off 4-Way
  • The kit you'll want instead of the # 37185 is the part # ETBC7L as it comes with the same 4-way to 7-way adapter but it also comes with the wiring needed to install a brake controller like the Curt # C51180. Since your 4-way was cut off you'd need to also cut the wire off of the 7-way adapter and hardwire the connections there. Since 4-ways use standard colors you'd just need to wire them color for color. For butt connectors to make these connections you'll want the # DW05714 for each...

  • Tire Chain Recommendation for 1992 GMC Jimmy with Tire Size 31x10.5x15
  • For the tire size of 31x10.5x15 that you have on your 1992 GMC Jimmy that will only be used for plowing snow I would recommend the pewag Brenta-C chains part # PWXMR81V which are going to provide excellent traction in deep snow, are made from harder materials so they will last longer, and are easier to install than other options.
