Hey, my name is Cole and today we're going to be installing a BMW H into a 2019 RAM 2500 Cummins with the Mega Cab and the Ram boxes. The installation of these hitches is actually quite simple, but the first thing we want to do is drop the rear spare tire, pull out the car from the exhaust to the tire, and then actually drop the rear hanger of the exhaust. To give us a little bit more working room, so we can get this new hitch put in. We've dropped the spare tire and this is done by removing the kit that is underneath the front passenger seat, and this gives me my bottle jack, my DES filter funnel, and the extensions and the turn bar to plug this in, turn counterclockwise, rear tire comes out, get it out of the way. Now to remove the rear heat deflactor from the exhaust and get a little bit more access in here, we have these four 10mm bolts and there's two more behind here. So let's go ahead and do that and we'll get to the next step. So here at the back of the exhaust, we have the exhaust hanger and we're going to remove that by using a pry bar and some soapy water. And then on the back of the exhaust for the hanger set, it's a 5-8s bolt and we'll remove this whole piece. That way we have room to work up in here and this isn't getting in the way. And all this is just to prepare to getting the new hitch installed. So let's get this done. We've now removed the exhaust which was sitting here and we're going to take this template which comes in the box with the hitch and we're going to take it in the front of the cabs this way and we're going to slide it back up in here, lining up these holes and then we're going to clamp it in place and then that's going to give us our center mark. We have everything in place and clamped together, take a quarter inch bit and let's drill our first hole. Now this is the exciting part. We're finally back on top of the truck bed and we're going to make our first big hole so it can actually mount the hitch system into the bed of the truck. So I am using a 3.5 inch spider metal drill bit with the Milwaukee hole saw. So hopefully this should make easy work of what we're doing. So let's line that up. So we've cut the hole in the bed of the truck. Now we want to make sure that metal plate that's fallen through. Give it a few minutes to cool off so because of how hot it is, I'm going to vacuum all this up and then we're going to come over here and we're going to hit this with a little bit of spray paint to keep that from rust and then we'll start mounting from underneath. So while the paint's drying in the back of the truck, let's take a minute and kind of go over the system we're working with. And first off, this is the piece we were talking about earlier that we used to align everything up in the bed of the truck. So this actually will sit in the back of the truck frame like this with the flat piece facing forward and that gives us our drilling point so we can drill the big hole for this piece you go through. And what's cool about this is this is an 8 bolt system. So I have two bolts in the front, two in the rear, two on each side and then to get these bolts lined up, being W makes this piece here where your bolts are actually attached to this big flange so I can slide it up and over the frame and lock it in place. But the other thing that's cool is they come with a 2 and 5'16th hitch for you and it just wraps into place and if I release this lever it locks in but when it's not in use I can turn it upside down. And it'll go all the way through and sit flush and then I can lock it that way so you can't get it out that easily. But it also gives you a nice flat truck bed and I keep everything here versus some inside and maybe the pieces are home and I'm not losing anything because it's all stored right here which is really nice. So I have the hitch up here ready to go and there's a set of wires you'll see in a second that we kind of have to curve it around but by not having an exhaust and everything here it gives us a plenty amount of room. And then we're going to get all my bolts ready and being W goes and head and puts the red lock on here so I don't have to worry about doing that when I tighten these bolts in. And these are going to be a 5'16th bolt so almost 1 inch so they're pretty, pretty Now that we have this installed and everything's tightened down so you got two bolts in the front, two on each side and then two on the back side. I will say this bolt here is going to be a little tricky it's going to take a little bit of time and you have to use a socket and a wrench to get on there and really get it tightened down. Once that is done we're going to take our bracket here and this is going to connect to the pull arm which is going to unlock and lock the pen so we can pull it in and out. So we're going to take two of our bolts and we'll drop them through the back here and it is a key section. Let's pull that out so we can get to it and turn those in so they're nice and tight. And we'll put that back and we're just going to bolt this together and I'll show you where that arm goes. So this is a 9'16th socket and now it fits so we can go ahead and tighten that down. This is the lever I was referring to and this is what unlocks and locks the pen in place. So right now it is locked open but if I pull on this and go right it goes back in that is your locked position. So if I need to pull the pen out pull it out go over and it stays there so I can now go in the bed pull the pen out flip it over do what I need to and then put it like that and lock it back into place. The next step in this process is going to be to drill the four 11 16th holes here so you can put your u-bolts in for safety chains. So I'm going to start off by marking all my holes and I got everything taped into place and then I'm going to use a small drill bit as a guide and then we'll kind of step up into that process. Now what's cool is the way this works is you have a cardboard template so we actually have the lock in and we're just setting the pen on top of it and then that's how we get our guide for what we're about to do. So let's give this a quick little check we'll measure it up make sure everything's even still and then we'll make our drills. So we finished drilling out all four holes and I personally went ran into a little bit of an issue because the largest bit I have is a 916th and I could not find 1116s at any of my local hardware stores so what I ended up doing is I used my Milwaukee Dremel tool and I used one the grinding bits and turns out this is 1116th. So that made easy work to make sure I had a straight hole going all the way through when we had to drill through the frame. Next we're going to drop these pieces in and there's a spring that's going to go on each one and the large size goes on top and then we actually will lock that in and this is a 1516th bolt and then after that put the truck back together and we're done. So now that we are done we now have two ram 2500 commons diesels with the V&W turnover goose net catch and one thing you'll notice is on the 18 version the locking pins for the chains are actually a little shorter than what we have here on the 2019 version. So they do make a little bit of adjustment there making a little bigger for bigger hooks but overall very simple, very easy use and a one bad to the bone hitch to have on the back of your truck.
