Default Re: Trucks, Trailers, Towing and Misc Accessories

Went to my favourite hitch shop today to have the hitch inspected. When I was towing last week I felt there was too much movement on acceleration from a stop and a clunk on brakeing. Turns out the hitch pin hole has started to elongate. This is the factory GM hitch and although I have heard negative things about them such as cracking and broken welds, i did not have any problems up until now. In essence the hitch is toast so I ordered u a Putnam 15,000 lb unit.
The rep I spoke with at Hensley Arrow says GM factory hitches up until the 08 models are garbage.
