Today on this 1987 Dodge Ram Pickup we will be installing Curt hitch part number 14001. We are underneath the vehicle looking at the passenger side frame rail. We are going to go ahead and point out the mounting locations for the trailer hitch. The hitch is going to attach directly to the bottom of the frame here at this edge. Depending on your model year there may be existing holes here at the bottom of the frame that will align with the trailer hitch. We are going to be using the 1/ 2 hole that is a little bit more forward here on the frame. We are actually going to go ahead and align that to the middle attaching hole on the trailer hitch and then we will just go ahead and drill out the four other holes. So the first thing we want to do is go ahead and take one of the carriage bolts and blocks. Merge the two together and it from the top side here of the frame to where the threads will protruding down. 00:47
You want to do the same thing on the driver side of the vehicle and then we will go ahead and put the hitch up into position, attach it to those carriage bolts with the flanged hex nut provided with the installation kit. You will note the two larger holes that are going to be going around rivets on different models so we are not going to be using those. We will be drilling out this hole here and this hole here as well. I am going to start out by drilling with 1/ 8 inch drill bit and then we will enlarge the hole to 1/ 2 inch. With the holes drilled we want to go ahead and the carriage bolt and blocks into each of the four other positions. We want to go ahead and torque our bolts down. You want to check with your directions to verify the appropriate torque rating for each individual bolt. With the bolts torqued down our installation is complete. This will conclude the installation of Curt hitch part number 14001 on a 1987 Dodge Ram Pickup.

Excellent hitch just as described. Installation is strait forward if you have the proper drill bits & torque wrench. E trailers has the best price around. The shipping was expeditied at no extra cost. UPS beat up the box and the hitch receiver was scratched but that was on UPS. E trailers will definately get my repeat business28046

you say i received the product at 6:10 am but really it was closer to noon pacific time. i really enjoyed the tracking feature you offered i did not need to wait around a day in advance i new what day it would get here that was really cool. i was afraid to order your product one custermers reveiw said that the one he ordered did not fit and you guys would not help him fix the problem but i did and the one i ordered was a custum fit for my 2002 dodge 2500 it went on quicker then the old one came off, all the parts were there and i guess because it was a custum fit for my truck and i was replaceing a class III hitch that was alresdy on it i did not have to drill any holes i gave it a 4 out of 5 because it did not have a metal protective box mounted on it for the electrical plug receiver i had to cut off the the one on the old hitch and attach it to the bottom back bumper, i chose not to have it welded on the new hitch like it was on the old due to the nice weather proofing paint and the inside being sealed off to the elements. BE SURE TO CHECK THE PRODUCT COMPATIBILLITY FOR YOUR VEHICLE I.E. MID OR FULL SIZE, THANK YOU CURT! 14966
