The hitch is cracking near where it bolts to the frame of the truck. Chrysler has recalled 1998-2000 trucks for this problem but says my truck is not in the recall. Yet I have a recall on the secondary hood latch, ignition switch and throttle cable.they told me to get the hitch repaired and save my reciept! it is stress cracked on both sides and I think welding it would be dangerous. There have to be a lot of hitches out there on Dodge Ram ready to break off - I though you should know. P.S. I never would have thought to look under there if it weren't for another Dodge owner asking me if I got the recall on my hitch yet. Scarey huh?!
