[QUOTE="Axhammer, post: 501978, member: 16767"] I made some good progress today, I guess the cooler weather (hi 80’s vice mid 90’s) helps. I ended up driving my Duramax onto the 12’ 8” tongue beam (3”x 3” .125 wall thickness). I set the beam on wood blocks, placed strategically so the weight of the truck bent the beam. I got it pretty straight now, much better that it was. What I like is when I look at it, it looks Ok…not bent or crooked. The beam was 13’ long, before I cut 4” off when I removed the T. My new mount location is further back, from where it was located when I got it, so the tongue is about a foot or more shorter now. [/QUOTE]
