[A/S] drawbar cracked and Hensley

["Richard Dorsten" <richarddorsten@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

If I remember right, here was another post sometime back about a 
cracked receiver on an earlier GM truck. It seem also in this case 
and all others that have responded also have used a Hensley hitch. 
This does not rule out the fact that these GM hitches did not stand 
up, but I do think that the person using a Hensley should look into 
using a heavier hitch. This hitch has side to side movement that is 
not present in other hitches. Just as soon as I read that first 
post, I went out and checked my receiver on my 96 Suburban and I 
don't use a Hensley. If I had a Ford or Dodge, I think I would be 
checking my receiver also, especially if I used a Hensley. I don't 
mean to offend anyone using a Hensley, I am sure they are good 
hitches,but I think they may put more of a strain on receivers than 
conventional hitches and this is just my opinion, but if I used a 
Hensley, I would personally check this situation out for my own free 
of mind. This is just my two cents worth. Richard in Southwest Ohio
