Fifth wheel Hitch troubleshooting
Hello My Patriot 16k hitch is not locking the jaws all the way around the pin. I have to force the handle in to lock it.. I never had this issue before. Any thoughts on what could be causing this ? ...

On an aside, he uses a portable electric grease gun to generously lube the hitch plate every time he hitches his semis, and told me to do the same because he noticed what he called high pressure wear on my hitch head even though I was using a lube plate.
What a mess!!! This is why I use a lube plate, no way would I use grease, except the pin contact points with the hitch jaws.
