25000 lb, Stock military hitch. Think I heard it crack though... Btw this was a truck pull at the fair.

I tried driving through a swamp... No videos haha.

This is also why I wanted it removable, I dont want it to get as dirty as the rest of the truck...

Tested today, Im trying to get Youtube videos up now. I tryed to break the mount, could not. Even with heavy side loading. There was deflection but always went right back when load was taken off. Ill post links as soon as the videos are done loading. O and I made it removable because I dont like...

Side loading is good for about 7000 pounds, original design just terribly failed, this one was about 16 times stronger...

So far works, and looks great! Did some testing today. More tomorrow.

Finite Element Analysis, The mount was modeled on drawing software and tested before I built it.

Thanks! Im excited to test it out! The FEA says its good for 20000lb of strait pull so we will see if its true!

I think next time I would use larger tubing, It looks small sitting on the truck... Ill get some more photos and Videos soon. It got too dark out.

Wouldn't it Make more since to just run a positive/isolated ground and use the back battery for all your accessories? Then you don't have to drop 400 dollars every time you want new batteries.

Maybe we have different manuals... I have mine on a CD Im not sure what one everyone else uses. This is what I am looking at...

DogHead, correct me if im wrong but when following diagram for the voltmeter It starts on E-6, flowing that to the relay, then following the lead the relay gets power from references you to pg E-9, here the wire is going right into the glow plug module.

So Volt meter still broke? According to the wire schematic it runs through the glow plug module... That could be bad as well.

My apology for never giving you guys updates, I've been away allot lately and haven't been able to work on the mount. My cucv was in Albany and I've been in buffalo so I needed to be sure it fit before I did all the finish welding. Bringing my Cucv to buffalo this weekend so I can finish...

Build progress, I don't take allot of photos but you all get the idea... Its coming along nice.

So better late then never on this reply right? Thanks for all the critiques! I considered everything everyone said and revamped the model, I analyzed it and it should be able to withstand a 20000 pound load in perfect conditions, so knowing no conditions are perfect ill say it will handle the...
