RE: [VAL] Hitch problems

I pulled the installation guide on my Drawtite/Reese Dual-Port class 4
receiver and the 9/16" bolts require 110ft lbs, while the 1/2" bolts require
106ft lbs.  Depending on the receiver and vehicle, the specs will vary, BUT
the important thing is to KNOW the correct torque and check ALL the nuts
periodically.  Earlier this afternoon, I pulled out the trusty torque wrench
and check and one of the nuts needed just a bit of rotation to pull to the
110ft lb mark.  All the others were still on the money.
