New 2015 Chevy dually fifth wheel wire

[dennych1]

I am going to install fifth wheel plug in bed of truck. Just want to make sure if anyone has plug installed and where it is installed. Don't want to drill hole in wrong place.
Thanks dennis

Look at the instructional videos on E-Trailer. They show several different how to's on installing them. Not much to it.

Anyone have any pictures of this installation they could post and/or parts list. I would like to do this too.

If you have the factory 5th wheel wiring provision wiring you should use it. No point in buying third party products if you already have it included with your truck.

I installed mine forward of the left fender well and about as high as I could get it considering the room available. i don't like getting my fat body under the fifth wheel overhand to plug in.

i think it is Bargman that sells the cables in different lengths and also with a molded 90 degree end for ease of install in the limited clearance places.

Agreed on previous post. Somewhere just forward of the tailgate, that way you can access it through the tailgate opening, or over the tailgate, rather than needing to lean up against truck and reach it if it were near the front of the truck bed.

I've installed a couple of them in 2015 Silverados. About 10-12" above the box floor on the rear left side. Go under the truck and you can look up between the inner box side and the outer box side. I put them about 10" ahead of the tailgate opening. Lay a towel or tarp down to catch the filings from your hole saw or they will make a mess. I also painted the edge after cutting the hole. I bought the ones that just plug in between the 7 pin by the bumper and the wire that feeds it.
