    2017 3500 Receiver Hitch Bolt Torque

    Does anyone have a factory service manual that shows the torque value for the (6) M14 bolts that hold the receiver hitch to the frame? TIA....

    Throttle Pedal Cutting out Under Load

    Have you ever cleaned the EGR valve? I had a dead pedal issue with my truck. Same location on my drive home. Not everyday, but several times. Had to pump the pedal a few times before it came back to life. Talked with the service manager at a dealer who used to be a diesel mechanic at the same...

    Drilling Frame for new receiver hitch

    B&W makes good equipment. I like how they designed the hitch to tuck up close to the factory hitch.

    it’s not. Funny, you’re the second person to see that from that picture. I think the rust makes it look messed up

    aisin life

    2017 with 5700 miles. Only the dealer had touched it. Or maybe whoever they had install the B/W gooseneck also. I had just driven 35 miles, some off that on interstate. Parked on a residential street, 10 minutes later noticed the lug cover cap was gone. Got closer a saw all but 1 lug were gone!!!

    Drilling Frame for new receiver hitch

    My ‘06 I replaced with a better hitch due to the bumper pull toy hauler I had. Great input from all. Thank you.

    Drilling Frame for new receiver hitch

    Looks like that is the short bed version. No issues with the Curt? How long I don’t want to mess with WD hitches. If I load the trailer properly and check the hitch weight with a sale, the hitch weight will fall under what RAM’s specs are. RAM essentially has the same design hitch for the last...

    Drilling Frame for new receiver hitch

    I’m probably overthinking it. I tend to do that. Tighten the bolts down and watch it. And get a tongue weight scale to check my trailers

    Drilling Frame for new receiver hitch

    I have an email into Draw Tite. See what they say The other option is the Curt. Uses all existing holes and has more tongue weight. Bad thing is it hangs down under OEM hitch(don’t have to remove oem unit) 5”. Ground clearance isn’t an issue but appearance would be a little goofy

    Drilling Frame for new receiver hitch

    I’m wondering if the bell mount is a contributing factor? The bottom one in the picture. There is only 1 1/2 off shank behind the pin. Installed there is 3” off receiver tube left at the back. Which is why you see the other bell mount in the picture that I picked up on my trip last weekend...

    Sag2 An I overloading the hitch? I don’t know. I don’t have a hitch weight scale but plan to get one. E trailer has them. I’m towing a 32’(39’ tip to tail) endorsed 14k trailer that to my calculations is 12-13k loaded. Also a 14k equipment trailer that I’ve only had loaded to 8k. Proper tongue...

    Drilling Frame for new receiver hitch

    AH64ID The bumper is mounted to the frame via the receiver hitch mount. If the receiver moves, the bumper moves. OEM and the Draw Tite. Notice the OEM receiver only has about 6” of rotational support for tongue weight where as the DT goes forward on the frame roughly 18”. 2 mounting...

    Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, the bumper is already mounted to the hitch and not the frame. From 2003 on I believe.
