Automatic Dump Plate (open/close)

[ZMann]

Can anyone direct me in the right direction when it comes to finding automatic (switch) dump. Im getting tired of crawling under truck to remove the 3 nuts that the pte setup uses. I'd rather have a motorized setup with a switch so i can open her up whenever.

Thanks

I just installed mine about a month ago, so I can't say anything about the durability. I believe that Ed Hess has had a used one on his truck for a while. Here's the site to it.

It was the cheapest I could find and it still looks to be good quality, about 114 shipped. The only thing is I had to enlarge two of the holes to make it fit the PTE flange. But other than that I really like it.

So does this unit slide over the 3 bolts that the PTE setup already has? If so, sweet. Im gonna look into this further. Thanks.

Yeah, it just goes in place of the flange plate. But like I said I did have to elongate <sp> some of the holes to make it fit over the the PTE bolts. No big deal really since it's made out of aluminum. HTH
