MagnaFlow Stainless Steel Cat-Back Exhaust Installation - 2006 Chevrolet Trailblazer

Today on our 2006 Chevy Trailblazer, well be installing the MagnaFlow Exhaust System Part Number MF16656. To begin our install, well first need to go ahead and remove the old or manufacturers exhaust system. To remove it, were going to go ahead and cut it into a couple of pieces. Using a reciprocating saw, well cut just in front of the rear muffler and then just behind the front muffler. Now with our exhaust system cut in 3 pieces well need to remove the 3 fasteners that secure the front flex pipe flange to the muffler exhaust pipe flange. Note I recommend to spray these with some liquid penetrant because over time theyll build up with rust, dust, dirt and debris, and can be very difficult to remove.

Trailer Brake Controller Installation - 2006 Chevrolet Trailblazer

Today on this 2006 Chevrolet Trailblazer we are going to install the Prodigy P2 brake controller part number 90885. The first step is to get access to the wire harness itself. There is a plastic trim panel right here along this edge that goes toward the front of the vehicle. There are two screws here and here that we have to remove so you can take it down and out of the way to get to the wire harness. From here it should just unsnap. Over here on the far left is the wires for the brake controller. They are taped up so you will probably have to pull them out a little and we have our four wires. 00:43

2006 Chevrolet TrailBlazer Questions and Answers

What Does the OC Error Code Mean on a Valley Journey Trailer Brake Controller
On the Valley Journey brake controller, the OC code indicates that the manual override lever is being applied and there is no trailer connected.

K-Source Towing Mirrors Option for a 2006 Chevy TrailBlazer
We have a universal towing mirror by K-Source that should work on your 2006 Chevy Trailblazer, but the K-Source Custom Towing Mirrors # KS80800 that you referenced is not a confirmed fit so I would not recommend it for you.

Weight Distribution System Recommendation for 2006 Chevy Trailblazer Towing 4,800 lb Camper
All weight distribution systems make some noise unfortunately. The Equalizer is pretty loud but from a performance point of view I would prefer it to the Reese SC. The system I like the best is the Reese Strait Line which uses a dual cam sway control that works to fight sway before it starts. It doesn't screw or shriek but it is known to make some popping noises around corners. For your 4,800 lb trailer the part # RP66083 would be what I recommend. It has a tongue weight range of...

Does Weight Distribution Increase Tongue Weight and Towing Weight Capacities
A weight distribution system can increasing the towing capacity of your trailer hitch. Like on yours, the weight ratings will be on a sticker on the trailer hitch. However, a weight distribution system will not increase the towing capacity of your vehicle. Based on the 2006 TrailBlazer owner's manual, depending on your vehicle's style, the maximum trailer weight a TrailBlazer can tow is somewhere between 4,800 pounds and 6,800 pounds. This varies due to how the vehicle is equipped....

The item you selected, U.S. Air Force Retired 2 Inch Trailer Hitch Receiver Cover, part # 034092101420, can be locked to your hitch. To lock part # 034092101420, you would need Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock, part # 7683, if you do not already have a locking hitch pin. I walked out to the warehouse and pulled part # 034092101420 and part # 7683 and took a picture of both in a 2 inch receiver and a picture of the back of the U.S. Air Force Retired Hitch Cover to better illustrate how...

Pro Series Weight Distribution System for Chevy Trailblazer Towing 24 Foot Travel Trailer
In order to choose the correct weight distribution system for your needs, you'll need to first determine the fully loaded and ready to tow tongue weight of your trailer. To that figure, add the weight of any gear stowed in the cargo area of the SUV behind the rear axle. I've linked to an FAQ article that explains how to do this. These combined figures comprise the Total Tongue Weight (TTW) of your set-up. The TTW of your trailer should fall as close as possible to the middle of the effective...

Best Brake Contoller and How to Install in a 2006 Chevy Trailblazer with Factory Tow Package
If your 2006 Chevy Trailblazer has a factory installed 7-Way trailer connector then you would not use a brake controller wiring harness. Instead, the tow package wiring to install a brake controller is located under the dash. You will need to splice the wires from the controller to this wire bundle. The wire bundle is located under the dash, to the left of the steering wheel. It should be held together with a white tag. The tag should list the functions of the wires. On the brake controller,...

Best Cargo Liner for 2006 Chevrolet Trailblazer
It is a better and best situation. The Custom Molded Highland liner like part # 4501100 is better than a generic, non fitted liner. It is molded to fit which is always a good feature for floor and cargo liners. The WeatherTech, like part # WT40188 for your Trailblazer, is more durable material and is deeper, and the bottom surface grabs hold of the carpeting in the cargo area very well to keep it from sliding. Neither product is a bad choice, the Highland does a good job, but the WeatherTech...

Will Curt Front Mount Hitch Part # 31055 Fit the 2006 Chevrolet Trailblazer SS Without Trimming
I spoke with my contact at Curt, and they have not had a chance to test fit the front mount hitch on an SS model. Frame should be the same between the SS and other models, but the SS front fascia is much different so it may require some fascia trimming, but they do not know where since they have not had a chance to fit one yet. The radiator may also be different or larger since the SS model got the 6.0 LS2 V8, a larger, higher output V8 than what came in the other V8 Trailblazer models. We...

Replacement 7-Way Recommendation for a 2006 Chevy Trailblazer
For a replacement 7-way for your 2006 Chevy Trailblazer you would want the Tow Ready 7-way part # 20119. This also has a 4-way built into the side of it. You would just need to remove the harness from the back of your current 7-way and then plug it into the round connector of this harness. For a replacement 7-way for your trailer you would want the part # H20043. Since trailer wiring colors can vary from vehicle to vehicle your best option would be to use a jumper cable from a car battery...

How to Determine if the Rooftop Bike Carrier S64720 will work on a 2006 Chevy Trailblazer
The Swagman Rooftop Bike Carrier, item # S64720, may work on your trailblazer, but it is a universal design and has not been tested to work with the angled cross bars on your vehicle. You would need to measure to determine if the 3-1/8 inches wide and 1-7/8 inches tall U-Bolts will be sufficient to span the width of the cross bars, and go through the rail far enough to allow the rack to be secured to the cross bars with the cross bars at an angle. A good way to do this would be to lay...

Roadmaster Base Plate Kit Recommendation for 2006 Chevy TrailBlazer Blue OX Rangefinder II Tow bar
You could use a Roadmaster base plate kit with your Blue Ox Rangefinder II but you will need to use a Blue Ox Rangefinder II to Roadmaster Bracket Adapter # RM-037. For a base plate kit you will need a Roadmaster XL Base Plate Kit # 3109-1. This kit is confirmed to fit your 2006 Chevy TrailBlazer as long as it is not an SS model.

You will need to free those wires so the P3 # 90195 can be installed. The wires on the vehicle will not match color to color so you will need to attach them in the following manner.

Weight Distribution System Recommendation for a 2006 Chevy Trailblazer
The Timbren suspension system part # TGMRETB that you referenced has been confirmed to fit your 2006 Chevy Trailblazer so it would work on your vehicle and would provide you with additional support for your rear suspension.

Is Sway Control Needed on Travel Trailer Towing Setup That Tows without Sway
A friction sway control system like the part # 83660 that you referenced is designed to help stop sway that might start on the highway from wind or a semi-truck passing. If you aren't getting sway currently that's great. You may not need the sway control at all, but in reality the # 83660 being installed can't hurt. Another tip for sway is that if you slide the manual override of your brake controller that usually pulls the trailer straight and stops the sway. You don't want to lock...
