OP here. OK, if you prefer, the dealer used grade 2 bolts rather than grade 1. They still are not grade 5. Also, the 5/16" bolts they used are a FAR PIECE from the 1/2" bolts that are called for.
And if Reese "supplied the bolts" why did they supply 5/16" bolts when their installation sheets call for 1/2" bolts?
The length of time between installation and failure does not excuse such sub-standard installation.
I am not holding the dealer accountable. I am repairing them myself. I am explaining why that dealer will never touch my trailer again.
