The Dealership is correct that the 2021 GMC Sierra is not going to send power back to the 7-way unless it senses a load. Since your trailer wiring is chewed up, the 7-way is most likely not sensing a load. The fix for this would be to use an older…
Hey Douglas, if the axle you have now is a 3,500 lb capacity axle and the spring seat to spring seat dimension is 74 inches yes this would work well for you. If you have a different spring seat dimension though let me know and I'll see what you…
By "mobile home type bolt pattern" I believe you are talking about a 5 spoke utility bolt pattern such as what is on the Dexter Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly - 6,000-lb and 7,000-lb Axles #8-174-5UC3. To measure your axle from hub face to…
You will need to get the other bearing number from inside your current hubs before we can pick you out replacement hubs. Most likely the outer bearing you pulled is a LM67048 and the inner you have is a 25580 which would mean that the #8-201-5UC3…
The Dexter "8-248" is a hub assembly for 3,500 lb axles that uses an L68149 inner bearing and a L44649 outer bearing. This hub assembly was offered in both 5 on 4-1/2" and 5 on 4-3/4" bolt patterns therefore you would need to…
I do not recommend using a leaf spring spacer (lift block) on your trailer. The reason for this is because they can cause the trailer to become extremely bouncy and rough which is just going to put more stress on your suspension and wear out the…
Thanks for the pictures! Since your UFP Gold Series oil bath hubs have a 1.98" outer bore then yes, the Kodiak XL ProLube Oil Bath Hub Body and Cap item #xlprolube1980 would work for your boat trailer. The directions say to fill to…
The appropriate torque spec for any application will vary depending on the construction of the wheel as well as on the stud size. I suggest checking the wheels you're using to see if their manufacturer has a suggested torque rating. Steel trailer…
Torque specs for wheel lug nuts will vary depending on the diameter of the lugs, type of lug nut and the wheel's material. The linked chart details the recommended torque for many combinations. Dexter Hub/Drum #84546UC3 has 1/2-inch studs and…
Most trailer tires do have a maximum speed rating of 65 mph unless otherwise indicated on the tire. I do not recommend exceeding a trailer tire's speed limit because this can lead to excessive heat on the tire, which is the most common cause for…
Adding the 5-Leaf Double-Eye Spring for 6,000-lb Trailer Axles - 25-1/4" Long #e34SR will only increase the height of your 2014 Grand Design Reflection 303 LS if your springs sit on top of the axle. The leaf thickness is 3/8" with an…
Hey Kevin thanks for your question. There is not much downside to going with the 5,000 lb springs instead of the 3,500 lb. A higher rated spring may make the ride a bit more "chunky" at times, since the spring would not flex as easily.…
