- The trailer hitch and receiver which came with my 1st gen Dodge Dakota are EXTREMELY seized together from years of neglect and road salt. I have a method which works EVERY TIME to remove these stuck hitch pieces...

Happy Independence Day Douglas...The struggle was real...😁😁
Happe 4th bud! Hope you enjoy the day.
Awsome dude, Ive used a 30k tow strap with the receiver hitch bolt to pull jeeps stuck in mud, that pin is crazy strong.have a good one!
That posi worked well! Those clutch packs must be in great shape
Happy 4th brother!! Gotta love a posi rear. I tried pulling my hitch on a tree and wound up with no back window.haha
Hell yeah! Happy 4th D&E!
After I bought my new to me truck I got a receiver hitch with it with a weird piece of pipe welded onto it. I asked the previous owner what it was for. He said oh he used it as a flag pole. I said oh now I need to make a flag pole and get a good flag. So I took it off, painted it to color match blue like my truck and now for the 4th of July Ive got a cool flag pole on my truck! It reminded me of your video last year!
Love that bud! Gotta have a spit for the stars and stripes
Yep I had the same problem with my truck when I first bought it.
Ive had a lot of these come into the shop. If smacking it for a few minutes doesnt do the trick, ill just turn it into a liquid with torches. If torches arent available, ill use a sawsall and cut flush with the hitch, then cut from the inside out and use an air hammer to remove whats inside the hitch in 4 pieces. Whats hilarious is i was talking to a friend about this just a few days ago. rofl.
If you can, anchoring the vehicle to something (a large tree using front tow hooks) then using something like a come along on the hitch to another tree, just to provide some pulling pressure on it, while smashing the hell out of it with a hammer will help a lot.
Thanks bud. I'll try that come-along method next time!
Happy Independence Day Doug!
I had a 95 GMC Suburban about 16 years ago. It too had a rust welded ball hitch in it like this.
Clever me attached a tow strap and wrapped it around a concrete light pillar in a nearby parking lot. I attempted to pull it out using the truck. Well…
Instead it ripped the rusted old hitch and that was that! 🤣. I tossed the broken part in the back and threw it out later. That ripped up hitch went to the next owner to figure out after I got rid of it. 😂
I like your custom bumper 😂
burnout is highly approved
For the Win!
Perfect intro🤣
Gotta be an easier way. Maybe heat & lube+winch+air hammer?
💪🏻
I removed the receiver hitch and used a hydraulic press
What you think about the 07 silverado 2500hd 4x4 ext cab long bed they any good
I honestly don't know bud. I am not much of a GM guy, but I know those 2500HDs are pretty stout

They can ticket you for that in NJ?
I don't really see who it's a hazard to, except the radiator or intercooler of the fool who rear-ends you, and they'd deserve it......
Anyway, nice job, although I don't know that you can really trust that receiver anymore, anyway. I think I'd have just removed THAT, and most likely that bumper, too.
(Was this truck launching boats in saltwater, by chance?)

I tried the old tie it to a tree and drive away trick. Didn’t work, even with the addition of the summer teeth
Thats one way to do it. My way, get a liter or two of coke. Dont drink it , start pouring out on the hitch continue for a couple of days, that boy will come rght out.

Someone guide me to an affordable mechanic in Central/South NJ. Any side job guys out there good at bearings and brakes? 2010 E350 Super Duty XL converted to a camper, need more stopping power.
