Re: GC Hitch
I did find one reference to the V-8 having a 'hybrid' cooling system. I am
wondering if that is a combination mechanical/electrical while mine is
electrical

Re: GC Hitch
Use the Mopar harness, the construction is much nicer. Wyckoff Parts
online has a free shipping offer going on: "Offer expires 11-27-2005.
You must use coupon code TURKEY."
I installed a Draw-Tite Class III Round Tube Receiver (p/n 75193) from
eTrailer. The big problem with a Draw-Tite or Hidden Hitch receiver
vs. the Mopar receiver is the lack of a mounting box for the 7-pin
receptacle. The Mopar receiver has one built-in on the back side of
the tube. I ordered a cheap plastic mounting box (p/n 18159 also from
etrailer.com) that straps to the tube with a black hose clamp. I
rotated it around to the back side of the tube; you can't see it or the
strap unless you look close.
