Speaker 1: Today, on our 2015 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD, we're gonna be taking a look at, and showing you how to install, the Curt double-lock, flip and store, underbed gooseneck hitch. Part number C607-604.Here's what your hitch looks like when it's installed. What's gonna set this apart from other hitches, is it has a dual-locking pin. Another thing that's gonna set it apart, is this rod, the handle for your locking pin, can be put on the passenger's side or the driver's side. This hitch is gonna have a nice powder-coat finish, to resist corrosion and rust.Another great feature about this hitch, is you can have full bed access, whenever you're not using your hitch ball. You can see the grooves in the side here, there's a pin down inside.

When you drop this down, it's gonna rest below the line. It's also gonna come with a cap, so it sits flat. It also has a little pull handle. When you're ready to use it, simply flip it over, slide into place, lock your handle.Now to use our handle, you're simply just gonna pull out, twist. When you're ready to lock your ball into place, pull out, twist back, and let go.This hitch is gonna have a 30,000 pound max tow capacity.

Your ball size is gonna be 2-5/16. You're also gonna have spring loaded safety-chain hooks.Now that we've gone over some of the features, let's show you how to get this installed.To begin our installation, we went on ahead and removed our spare tire, now we're gonna remove the heat shield. We'll be using a 1/2" socket, we're gonna be removing two bolts.Next thing we're gonna do, is we're gonna lower our exhaust, give us a little bit more room. We'll take some lubricant, and we're gonna sprayer down our hangers. We're gonna have three of 'em that we're gonna remove.

This one, and you're gonna have two up toward the front. No we'll just take a pry bar, and we'll start prying one end off.Next, what we need to do, is we need to cut out this section, of this heat shield. Stay on the inside of this support beam here. And you're gonna have another support beam up here, you wanna stay on the back side of that. So we're gonna be cutting out the center section.

I'm just gonna use some 10-snips, and go across like this.Now you're gonna find up at this end, it might be a little hard with 10-snips. So what I'm gonna use, I'm gonna use a Dremel tool, with a cutting wheel on it. Once you have that cut, you can remove it.Next, we're gonna move our fender linings. We'll be using a T15 star bit. You're gonna have several screws along the inside of the fender wall, that you have to remove.Once you have all your bolts removed, we're gonna start on one side. It might be easier to work the front here. You're gonna pull it out like this. And if you pull down on the corner, get the one side started, pulled out from underneath here, so you can just work your way around. And we'll just set that aside. And then you're gonna repeat that same process on the other side.Next thing we're gonna do, is on your underbed rails, the inside of these holes are threaded. We're gonna take a 1/2" tap, and we're gonna clean out those holes, from any paint or anything else that may be inside. Once you have your holes tapped, you're gonna wanna take some lubricant, spray in there, just to make sure you get the threads cleaned. And you're gonna do that with all the holes.So now we're gonna put our rails in, our underbed rails. You can see one of 'em has a notch cut out in it. What that's for, is that's to go over the gas tank. What we wanna do, is we're gonna slide it in on top of our frame. Once we get it in, we're gonna turn it up like this. You wanna make sure that the holes are on the bottom. And then we're gonna do the same thing with this one, which is gonna be the one toward the back of the vehicle.Now what you wanna do, is this support beam that's going across the center of the bed, you wanna make sure that you're staying in front of it toward the cab, across the frame.Now we'll put the rails up. Pair of channel locks may help.Next, here on driver's side, we're gonna take our frame bracket. You wanna make sure this long end is facing toward the back of the vehicle. What we're gonna do, is we're gonna take the crossbars that we put in, push it all the way up against this support beam. And when you set this bracket in place, it should line up with this hole, and this hole, on the frame. Now we'r
