Manufacturer InstructionsInstallation of a Trailer Hitch on a 2008 Chevy Silverado
Today we are going to install part number V82123 from Valley, and we are going to install this on a 2008 Chevrolet Silverado. First we will start off by showing you where the hitch is going to mount up to the frame. All right, the hitch is going to install using the existing hardware right here, using this hole toward the front of the vehicle. And it is going to be identical on both sides of the frame. And in the center of the bumper there are two more attaching points - these threaded fittings in the bumper. All right, we will go ahead and start taking off the existing hardware. We need to keep this, because it will get reused. And it is going to be the same thing on the drivers side. All right, next what we are going to do is go ahead and install some hardware into the frame for this attachment point right here. All right, we will install our plate, and our bolt, just like that. And we will do the same thing going back to the passengers side.
All right, at this point we can go ahead and install the hitch by the hardware we just hung. Okay, we want to leave the hardware loose so we can move the hitch around. We will install a fastener that went through the bumper bracket here, push the hitch up. Try to move the plastic away from the bumper so it it fits up in there. Again, you want to keep everything loose so you can move it around as needed. Going back to the passengers side, do the same thing. Okay, now we will move on to the fasteners that go up to the bumper. Okay, our front fastener will be the bolt, lock washer, flat washer - will go into the bumper. All right, once you get all the bolts started, you can go ahead and snug them down. All right, at this point we can go ahead and torque down the bolts as specified in the instructions. With those few simple steps, this hitch is done. And there you have it for part number V82123 from Valley on a 2008 Chevrolet Silverado.
