The manual lists gross load capacity specifications for both weight-carrying and weight-distribution modes, but the specific values are blank in the document provided. Contact Curt Manufacturing or your dealer for the exact trailer weight and tongue weight capacities. Always verify that your vehicle's towing capacity does not exceed the manufacturer's recommended limit.
Yes. Prior to installation, you must loosen or remove the spare tire. Some vehicles may require an aftermarket spare tire repositioner to retain the spare tire under the vehicle after installation. The manual notes that not all models will have the same spare tire configuration, so check your specific truck.
Yes. Prior to installation, remove the ground wire that is bolted to the bottom of the driver side frame rail. After the hitch is installed, relocate this ground wire to the .281" square hole in the frame bracket using the 1/4-20 carriage bolt and nylon lock nut provided in the kit. Note that some vehicles may not have the ground wire located in this position.
No. The install notes state that no drilling is required. However, roll pan modification is required. The roll pan must be cut in the license plate area to provide access for the drawbar installation.
The roll pan requires cutting in the license plate area to provide access for the drawbar. The manual notes that the license plate must be repositioned when the drawbar is installed. You must obtain vehicle owner approval before beginning the installation.
You will need: a ratchet, one extension, sockets in 7/16", 3/4", and 21mm sizes, and a torque wrench. These tools are necessary to fasten the hitch to the frame and achieve the correct torque specifications.
The kit includes: 6 bolts (1/2-13 UNC, 1-3/4", grade 8, yellow zinc, part 10-10272); 4 spacers (.250 x 1.50 x 2.00" square hole, part CM-SP1); 2 spacers (.250 x 1.00 x 2.00" square hole, part CM-SP12); 1 carriage bolt (part 10-10509); 1 nylon lock hex nut (part 20-00148); and 6 serrated flange nuts (1/2-13 UNC, grade 8, yellow zinc, part 20-00062).
All 1/2-13 fasteners must be torqued to 110 lb. ft.
All 1/4-20 fasteners must be torqued to 12 lb. ft. This includes the carriage bolt and nylon lock nut used to relocate the ground wire to the frame bracket.
1. Loosen or remove the spare tire and remove the ground wire from the driver side frame rail. 2. Loosely fasten the hitch to the frame. 3. Torque all 1/2-13 fasteners to 110 lb. ft. and all 1/4-20 fasteners to 12 lb. ft. 4. Cut the roll pan in the license plate area for drawbar access. 5. Relocate the ground wire to the .281" square hole in the frame bracket using the 1/4-20 carriage bolt and nylon lock nut.
Do not exceed your vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity. While Curt part number 13942 has its own load ratings, your vehicle's manufacturer specifications take precedence. Consult your vehicle owner's manual for the maximum towing capacity for your specific 1988-1998 Chevy/GMC 1500.
Periodically check the receiver hitch to ensure that all fasteners are tight and that all structural components are sound. The manual does not specify a maintenance interval, so perform this check regularly, especially before towing.
The hitch weight specification is listed in the manual but the value is blank in the document provided. Contact Curt Manufacturing or your dealer for the exact hitch weight.
