Well this morning with the wind and rain stopped I pinned the release handle open. I haven't been doing that as I have to lay over the side of the bed to reach it. Didn't have to do that with the previous truck and trailer as that 5er had a extended hitch pin.
To make a short story shorter the jaws popped open as soon as I raised the trailer.
I keep the hitch greased both the jaw, the zerts, and the uprights. Maybe need a good cleaning as dust and other crud could have built up. We have been in very dusty areas the last couple months.
Thank you all for your ideas and suggestions.
