I didn't even think about the cheap, factory round tube hitch- good catch Tom!!!
The factory gm hitches of that era can twist when used with a wd hitch, causing some issues in trying to transfer the weight back to the fa. I actually replaced my factory '10 1500 hitch with a Curt class v monster. Night & day difference between the two hitches!!!!
As Tom mentioned look for any cracks/ rips, etc... On the factory hitch!
