Today in our 2013 Chevy Silverado, well be installing the Hopkins Endurance 6-Pole Trailer Connector Socket part number HM48420. This will be in conjunction with the Pollak 5th Wheel and Goose Neck Trailer Connector Wiring Harness part number PK11932. To begin our install, well take our Hopkins 6-Pole and make sure we have a hole saw large enough so that the 6-Pole can be mounted in our bedside. Were going to mount it about right here, so well go ahead and take our hole saw and drill a hole in the bed liner and side. Now we can take our wiring harness and feed it from underneath up and out the free drilled hole. Once we feed it through, well go ahead and pull it out so we can work with the end. Typically we would install a seven blade end that would connect to this wiring harness, but because we need a 6-pole trailer connector to connect to our trailer end, were going to go ahead and remove each one of these connectors.
The yellow wire will not get used at all. Well go ahead and cut off the ends. Well then go ahead and remove some of the wire loom to give us a little more working room. Ill simply take my utility knife and cut off some of the wire loom. Ill go ahead and take the yellow wire and run it back into the wire loom as it will not be used for this application, then well strip back our wires. Next well take the connector and feed the wires through it.
Well go ahead and loosen this set screw on the top connection which would also be TL for taillight. Well take our brown wire, put it into the connector and then tighten down the set screw to hold it in place. Well go clockwise around our connector, loosening the set screws, installing the wires and then securing them with the set screw. Next, its marked as AX/EB for the electrical brake connection point. Our wiring harness, that will be the blue wire. The next connection is marked RT for right turn signal will be the green wire.
Then well have LT for left turn signal will be our red wire. The center post will be for the black wire which is power to our trailer. Then we have GD for ground that will be our white wire. This ground wire is a little bit larger than our connector will allow for so were just going to trim off just enough wire to get it into the connector. Once we have it in, well tighten it down. Now once we have all the wires installed, tightened down and secured, we can wrap it up with some black electrical and then install the cover.
Well lock the connector in place and tighten down the set screw then well go ahead and finish wrapping up our wires with a black electrical tape. Once weve got it wrapped up, were ready to install it. We can secure it here directly to the bedside with some long self-tapping screws to go all the way through the bed liner into the sheath metal of the bedside. Take the wiring harness, feed it up over the frame and follow the manufacturers wiring down behind the bumper. Here behind the bumper, we can locate the manufacturers electrical connector going to the manufacturers seven blade. To remove it, well release the locking tab on it, a little easier with a flat blade screwdriver and gently prying out. Press on it releasing the connector from the back of the 7-pole. Next, well take the new wiring harness, plug directly into the manufacturers wiring, firmly pressing it together and reconnecting the connector lock. Well take the other end of our wiring harness and replace the manufacturers connector in the back of the 7-Pole, plugging in line with the manufacturers wiring, well firmly press it in place, lock it in position and then push on the connector lock. Then once we have it all connected, well go ahead and secure it with some black zip ties as necessary. Now that we have the wiring secured, well go ahead and cut off the excess zip ties to clean up our install look. That completes the install of the Hopkins Endurance 6-Pole Trailer Connector Socket part number HM48420 in conjunction with the Pollak 5th Wheel and Goose Neck Trailer Connector part number PK11932 on our 2013 Chevy Silverado. .

Great for trucks pulling fifth wheels or goosenecks, this T-connector plugs into your OEM wiring harness to provide a second 7-pole connector in the bed of your truck. Connector requires no splicing, so RV socket installation is quick and easy.does not come with the trailer plug end, should have ordered the other kit with the plug end. otherwise excellent.
The wiring harness was easy to install. Just unsnap the original harness, snap the new over the old and snap the original on that. 15 minutes.
Good morning Kathrine, the harness arrived in good shape. I installed your harness without any difficulty and ops check all lights. Thanks again for your expertise and assistance. Glenn

The Custom Fit Vehicle Wiring is still working as advertised. It makes hooking up my Fifth Wheel easy. Thanks for everything,
I purchased a 5th wheel wiring harness and heat shrink butt connectors,
for my 2015 GMC Sierra. I installed a tail gate light bar and did not want to cut the factory wiring. With the harness I was able to plug into the factory trailing plug
and butt connect to the light bar, while still being able to use both the 7 blade and flat trailer connectors. It made for a easy and very clean connection. thank you to
Steve and the E trailer web site for helping make this a easy job.
If you viewed the Dodge ram video you think this item is coming with more then it is. Read the fine print. This is just the wiring harness. It does not include the connector or self tapping screws. The connector in the bed of the truck is another $18. and you are on your own for the self tapping screws.
They need to take down the Dodge Ram video and make a new one showing what you do get with this wiring harness and what else you must buy to make it work.
Very misleading.
Wish I had of seen or read the related products as I did not realize a Reese socket would not work. Other wise a breeze to install
Pollak Replacement 7-Pole, RV-Style Trailer Connector Socket - Vehicle End - PK11893
Part worked out great and is an exact match to my factory harness. My stock connector is identical and even says "pollack" on it. This made for a great upgrade and easy install.
this product went in really fast i mounted it under the body up threw the pass side rear tail light instead of up threw the side of the bed to keep it clean simple to install i didn't even need the directions. installed on a 2012 f350 dually
The product I purchased is of high quality and fit perfectly.
Etrailer has become my "go-to" for anything I need for towing my trailers.
