Default Hitch sticker

Hi, does anyone know where I can get the factory tow ratings sticker for the hitch on a 2001 dodge ram 1500 4x4 sport with the tow package i had to sand and paint the hitch but the sticker was to far gone to salvage.

I found a complete factory bolt-on hitch at a local pick and pay that was very clean and had the sticker still on it, so I purchased it and installed it on my truck. They sell those hitches at our local pick and pay pretty cheap. My hitch looked grungy and was rusted in several places, especially the box that supports the trailer connector..

Word of advice is get the square where the hitch goes sandblasted because it rusts and then makes it thicker

I have a wire brush that fits inside the 2" receiver quite nicely, puts an adequate amount of pressure on the bristles, that it cleans it right out. Bit of grease on the insert, slide it in and out a few times, and rust ceases to be an issue for a year or two.

Never thought of the grease!
