Receiver Hitch pin hole repair ?

[Davis]

Hi Ya`ll,
The receiver hitch on my 94 Chevy dually has a walloed pin hole and is causing a clunk when I stop and start with the trailer.I can remove the hitch head and actually move the pin back and fort in the hole about a 1/8 in maybe a little more. Can this hole be drilled and have a bushing put in or is there such repair available ? Thanks Davis

davis,

i see you tow a 34, if the hole is elongated i would reccomend replacing the whole reciever. it is already 12 years old and the hole may not be the only thing elongated.

last time i looked reese recievers are not that expensive, somewhere areound 150 to 200 bucks for a class 5.

you want to get it fixed because the movement could cause the pin to fail!

i certainly would not want to see a 34 loose out on the highway!
