I couldn't find a more current thread. I relocated my trailer plug this weekend, and thank all the previous posters for giving me the confidence.
I had an open faced 7 Blade plug, attached to lower bumper area.
I purchased the Pollak PK12-724 from E-Trailer, and thought I could just plug it into the existing, and not have to do any wiring, but the male end adapter was 7 pin (my error). I called E-Trailer, and they didn't have a 7 blade to 7 Blade Plug adapter.
I ended up cutting the old plug off, and cutting the adapter end of the new plug. The wire colors on the new plug didn't match the existing wiring on the truck, but I figured it out using the old removed plug.
All the lights tested out okay after installation.
Was nervous about drilling the hole, I made a jig, to help me hold it in place, but then removed it after I got it going. I used a medium sized battery operated drill, and got thru the bumper pretty quick.
To removed the old plug holder, I used a 3 lbs hammer, and a crow bar, and got it off reasonably clean.
I like the way it looks, and once again, I thank the previous posters.
