This doesn't mean at ALL that I am disregarding your post, but I just need to get to the bottom of 2 conflicting statements, one says weight shift will change the detents and one says they won't. And unfortunately my researching isn't helping the matter..........
Call Reese and ask for customer service and discuss the weight shift transfer, if any. The detents ride in the cam that when the trailer trys to sway the cam comes out of the detents and trys to re-straighten the trailer vis a vis the tow vehicle.
As far as all the comments about getting the dual cam set up correctly; that is easy also. Pull straight for about 100 feet and then initiate the set up. Not rocket science.
When you look at comments from folks, look at what they are towing with. It is more about the truck you have than any WDH since you don't need one for WD with a one ton dually. Only thing you might want is a sway feature. And with the heavy diesel up front the last thing you would ever want is to add more weight to the front axle. Your truck will sit with a front/rear weight bias empty that is substantially heavier in the front. Adding weight to the back is actually good for a better balanced truck. WD tries to redistribute weight back to the trailer axles (around 20 percent of the redistributed tongue weight) and to the front axle. Don't add to the front axle any more than is taken off with the tongue and if you are a couple hundred pounds less, so much the better to balance the heavy diesel engine.
