The hitch support is a separate piece from your bumper! they build after market units much stronger then the OEM pieces!! Good search on the internet will serve you with a great alternative!! Keep up the great work. WHOOOO!!
That was a really nice load of wood on the trailer. Putting the truck through it's paces already!! At least it wasn't any worse then that!! You'll really love that trailer. I have two of them 1 14ft. bumper pull and 1 18ft. gooseneck. Stay safe my friend!!
Very nice job stacking. Great load of wood to. That's sucks about the truck. On my dually I went with the frame mounted type hitch because I pull a 16 ft trailer like that and it stays overloaded. We bolted ours with four grade 8 bolts then stich welding for a little extra support. Be safe and if you have any questions just ask . Be glad to pass on any info you may need. Be blessed and stay well.
Hey Scheib awesome trailer, my ‘87 ram failed same way, got a new bumper and frame hitch for the heavier tongue weight on the dump trailer, but had to reinforce last 2’ of the frame to mount it... that rust is sneaky... good luck and drive safe
I replaced mine on my chevy 07 2500hd. With a curts hd. Hich it did not use the bumper at all . For mounting it sits a lil lower then stock. But its a much heavier hitch. Gotta love are pa salt . Ps. I would fluid film your hole under side of your truck befor winter . That stuff really helps stop the rust. I bought a gun kit on eBay that hooks up to your shop air an you can just go to town fast an easy way to apply the coating.
I have been wanting one for a while now I have looked at many brands but sure trac just seemed to keep coming up and there a a lot of dealers in my area so that’s what I went with. Thanks for stopping in.
Reminds me of when I hauled my first load of wood with my 7x14 Sure-Trac dump! Hitch didn’t fail but the nose of my F-250 was sky high from all the weight! Rear air bags were ordered that same day and installed later that week to solve that problem! These trailer sure can haul some weight! 🍻
Lol well I didn’t have that problem the trailer hauled great just to much cancer on the bumper support it couldn’t handle it I have a class V on order.
Outside with Scheib Nice, that should solve it 💪🏼 Might want to look into fluid film, I use it on all my trailers and equipment twice a year and it works great to prevent rust or stop it from getting worse.
When I was a kid back in the 60s, I had an uncle that would go up to NY and get rusted out cars and bring them down to SC and pull the motors and transmissions and put them into southern cars that were needing motors due to mileage but still had perfect bodies. He would also take southern cars up north and sell them at a premium because there was no rust on them. That salt is a bitch on steel. With that new trailer, you are stepping up your game for sure.
Did that to my hitch trying to pull down a oak tree with my 1 ton dump. Hit a little too hard. Time to get some IBC cages for that firewood, cause you eventually won't have time to stack.
I replaced the hitch on my 07 dmax with a curt class V and it doesnt have to mount to the bumper and handles my 12 foot Kaufman dump way better than factory hitch
Well that sucks! When you get a new hitch and bumper make sure it has a blue oval and a powerstoke diesel attached😆 JK!...yeah gotta love the good ol rustbelt USA. Are you gonna add some sideboards on the trailer? And maybe a rear hitch to pull the splitter along?
Lol yeah the rust belt sucks but I don’t think I would trade it for anything lol I will be putting sideboards on the trailer probably just a 2x12 on each side. Not to sure about towing the splitter behind the trailer lol but I like you’re thinking.
You exceeded your tongue weight is what you did. Tongue weight is different than tow rating. If you have any questions feel free to ask, my brother is a 30 year expert in the RV industry.
@@OutsidewithScheib if you have anymore issues it might be an engineering problem in the trailer design. Remember, a lotta guys that weld trailers are just welders, not DOT engineers.
It’s a good thing it happened the way it happened could have been much worse. Sales are great inventory not so much need to hustle to get the stock back up.
My 01 Chevy 2500hd has the same thing going on. So now seeing what happen to you I'm gonna have to fix it before it does end up like that or worse. We need more salt on the roads. Or maybe people should slow down
Frame mounted hitch is much better and safer.good the bumper and trailer didn't take a right turn when you took a left turn! What's nice with the trailer is you can't throw a round through the back window of the truck. 👍
What year is your truck? I have an 09 Silverado 2500HD. I have pulled some pretty massive loads with it but now I'm worried this might happen to me. I'm going to have to get under there and check out the hitch.
Surprised to see how rusty that hitch/bumper is, especially considering how clean the rest of the truck is. Class V hitches are rated to 20k GTW and 2K tongue weight. The drawback is the 2 1/2” receiver. We run class IV and then I generally fab a link between the top of the receiver like your factory hitch had, just to give it a little more stability. That way we retain the 2” receiver. Seems like your truck should have been shipped from the factory with a better hitch on it. That was poor engineering on GM’s part, assuming it is the original. Blessings...WOOOOO!💪🏼🪓🌲🌳🦅🇺🇸
I agree I pulled the sticker from the original it’s rated for 7k and 1000 tongue weight. That’s not that great for a 1 ton not sure if it was factory or installed by the previous owner. I bought it in 2003 it had 8k on it. Either way I know I have towed a lot heavier than what I had on the other day. The cancer in the bumper finally let loose and well all I can say is it could have been worse.
Sorry about the truck. We did the brakes shit on the wife car with CV shafts and a rear hub. I need to do my truck rear brakes. Did you watch that video link I gave you. Nice looking wood there.

Yeah the new hitch should be here today I may be installing it in a video we shall see.

No problem

You probably got the same hitch as I did then it should be here today but the bumper is going to be a little longer

The dump trailer was one of the best things I ever bought, you are going to love it!

You are a hell of a good fabricator make sure you make a video of - or after you fix it
Plan on it lol may be a bunch of bleeping out of curse words lol

Awesome dump trailer Scheib👍 nice stack job on the firewood, thanks for sharing
Thanks Dave
Everyone I know that has a dump trailer says it was the best investment they’ve ever made. Keep hammering my friend!! Enjoy the cooler weather
Thanks nick I sure does make things easier lol I am enjoying the cooler weather that’s for sure
Did that to my hitch trying to pull down a oak tree with my 1 ton dump. Hit a little too hard. Time to get some IBC cages for that firewood, cause you eventually won't have time to stack.
Yeah just to much cancer on the bumper it couldn’t handle it lol
@@OutsidewithScheib same here...needed a upgrade.
Hey Donald you forgot to tell everyone you're Uncle told you to check out the hitch and truck frame before loading it heavy
He didn’t tell me about the bumper he told me about the one under the spare tire
I replaced the hitch on my 07 dmax with a curt class V and it doesnt have to mount to the bumper and handles my 12 foot Kaufman dump way better than factory hitch
I think I ordered the same hitch I know it doesn’t mount to the bumper. It should be here today I may do a video on the install.
Awesome trailer! They are so useful. Same rot I have on my Sierra! 🤬damn road salt
I hear you bud the salt sucks but not much you can do about it.
Always maintaining equipment in the firewood game! Hope you get the truck fixed soon here!!
Well that sucks! When you get a new hitch and bumper make sure it has a blue oval and a powerstoke diesel attached😆 JK!...yeah gotta love the good ol rustbelt USA. Are you gonna add some sideboards on the trailer? And maybe a rear hitch to pull the splitter along?

TO BAD ABOUT THE BUMPER JUST PART OF LIVING IN THE NORTH. NICE LOAD OF FIREWOOD
Yeah it should be fixed very shortly
After i got my dump trailer i don't know how i got along without it.
Same here I used it twice now lol just need to wait to get some repair parts for the truck.
You exceeded your tongue weight is what you did.

I was probably a little over but all the cancer on the bumper sure didn’t help lol
@@OutsidewithScheib if you have anymore issues it might be an engineering problem in the trailer design. Remember, a lotta guys that weld trailers are just welders, not DOT engineers.
That load of wood looked nice. I think you'll be good to go with a new bumper and a class V hitch. You have a good trailer that's for sure.
That’s what I ordered should be here today I need a few more loads like that lol
That sucks about your truck buddy. Nice looking wood stack though, and yes my roadside sale have been crazy lately. 🍻
It’s a good thing it happened the way it happened could have been much worse. Sales are great inventory not so much need to hustle to get the stock back up.
Took you a minute to put the tailgate down. That should fill up your roadside stand nicely
Joe it will due for now lol I backed up to close to the pile to open the doors right away next time the doors will be open before backing up.
My 01 Chevy 2500hd has the same thing going on. So now seeing what happen to you I'm gonna have to fix it before it does end up like that or worse. We need more salt on the roads. Or maybe people should slow down
Yeah it won’t hurt to give it a good look over better safe than sorry.
Yea man that style of factory chevy hitch was not good and I believe that the support comes with the bumper
That’s good I ordered a class V hitch should be good now lol
Frame mounted hitch is much better and safer.good the bumper and trailer didn't take a right turn when you took a left turn! What's nice with the trailer is you can't throw a round through the back window of the truck. 👍
Bob Fitch the one that’s on there is mounted to
The frame and bumper it has been corroded and no longer safe
I go through all 4 brakes at least once per year.
Not me joe I only have 133k on the truck
@@OutsidewithScheib what year is your truck
Matt's firewood videos 2002
Have same trailer you wont be disappointed
I like the trailer a lot it will get used all the time I am sure.
What year is your truck? I have an 09 Silverado 2500HD. I have pulled some pretty massive loads with it but now I'm worried this might happen to me. I'm going to have to get under there and check out the hitch.
Mine is a 2002

Thats no miller lite!
Get a hitch that bolts to the frame.
This bolts to the frame and bumper I ordered a class V that should do the trick
What size is that trailer?
It’s a 7x12 12k
Outside with Scheib i had a 16’ and it was too heavy for my 1/2 ton. Thinking a 10’-12’ will be in my future.
The back of your truck is starting to look a lot like Joe's at JPF YIKES!!!!!
Yeah I’ll have to further investigate when I get the crap off lol
Sorry about the truck.
We did the brakes shit on the wife car with CV shafts and a rear hub. I need to do my truck rear brakes.
Did you watch that video link I gave you. Nice looking wood there.
Yeah I checked it out pretty amazing. Parts are on there way should have it back up by next week.
Just get a new damn truck
