I work in the service department at a Chevy dealer and see them cracked all the time on 3/4 and 1 tons.

Thanks Sydwayz.

Got the truck, got the hitch, just need the 33-35 foot of boat to hook it to. Even Rip would agree the Putnam is overkill for draggin around the '96 polaris on the triton trailer .

25182 ring a bell, Rip? Did you get the hitchball through them also? 3rd, that part number is for a TRUCK, not your wifes' new SUV.

I believe the solid steel drawbars and big balls were sourced out of the Putnam catalog also.

There are other sources though I'm sure, but my buddy Cheney hook$ me up, 'cause, well...he's known for 25 years how I feel about paying retail.

Rippem

bells are ringing

are they wedding bells?

I had a Polaris SL1050 that I raced. I can't count how many engines I went through.

I can help you get an Active Thunder behind your truck when you are ready. Check the AT forum for some new news.

Bringing this to the top since I'm finally about to get the Putnam.
What did you guys do for the 7-way plug? My OEM piece is ready to come off the stock hitch. Would I be good cleaning it up and welding it on the XDR? I'd prefer not to drill extra holes in the bumper, and I don't want to hold the plug on there with zip-tyes.
Rip, what made you want to have that extra welding done?

Rippem

nothing in particular... but I was going to repaint it before install on the new truck and figured it couldn't hurt to weld around the box crossmember to the side plates on the inside.

again, overkill thinking.
