need oem part number for hitch

[SilvrSRT10]

I don't know man. The reinforcement bar I think your speaking of is a spacer that goes between the hitch and the cross tube underneath the truck. Were these the instructions you got with the hitch?

i honestly have never put one on a srt-10. i'm sure someone who has done it will chime in. I know someone cut holes on the top of the rear fascia to install the bolts. If you want a cleaner looking hitch get the p/n I listed above.

OMG!!! I CANNOT BELIEVE I JUST READ THAT

Yeap, It happened. I think a member down in Fla. did that. He was able to find a trim piece that covered it and made it look good again but there were a lot of jaws hitting the floor when we read that he had done that.

That one might not be for the SRT-10 according to this website.

Well your not the only one. I think CubanEvo did it too.

About to install the hitch on my truck, how do you get the bumper end pieces off, removed the screw by the bottom of the tailgate and the one at the bottom, now what? Feels like something is still holding it in place.

I'm working from memory here but there are screws in the fenderwell as well. There is the Chrysler version of velcro holding them on too. Just check real good all around it and make sure all the screws are out and then just slowly work it off. The velcro is some pretty tuff stuff but it will come apart. And I think you need to lift up as there are clips holding it on too.

Yea, that would have been the previous owner of my truck... :banghead: CubanEvo
Covered it up with some metal and rubber trim piece. You can see it in this pic

 

[enforcer17]

Anyone have a pic of what it looks like with the side panel and the rear bumper cover off?

Thanks to Dan (viperhauler) for explaining the process of removing the rear bumper end caps and cover, will be working on it tomorrow.

Been looking on-line for the Mopar kit to connect into the factory wiring to add a 7 wire receptacle at the hitch, have the four wire. Anyone have a part number? Under the dash I see a blue plug under the dash but it looks like the open end is not plugged in there (by the parking brake pedal where the stock sat receiver bracket had two screws). I believe I am looking at the right plug under the dash. Do I just need the plug with the unconnected wires there to connect to a brake controller?

Had a Voyager, is that still the brake controller of choice?

 

[enforcer17]

Ok, installed, super easy once you know how to take the side pieces off first. Only a slight bump in the center where the center bolt is now underneath.

 

[wesalbert]

That bump shouldnt' be there. :dontknow:

 

[viperhauler]

yeah....i'm lookin for a pic....

 

[enforcer17]

Agreed, but even though the bolt is chamfered, it sticks up enough to make that bump.

 

[viperhauler]

i've seen just about every other hitch for that truck...and NONE of them are there.....

i tried to text but i guess that's your home number...

 

[enforcer17]

The bolt that goes into that center hole in the bumper support sticks up about 1/4"-3/8", so I am not surprised it has a bit of a bump. I'm guessing that those who have other hitches that are one piece, they have no bolt in that center hole (where you can install a ball mount). Not bad enough for it to bother me.

As you can see, took the notch out so it sits properly at the bottom where it meets the new part of the hitch.
