The trailer would bang back and forth on starts and stops. The rollers are inside where those three zerx fittings are. The remaining roller was all that was keeping the trailer attached to the truck. TriGlides arean't made anymore. I got a new Trailair hitch without the bottome TriGlide portion. Keep an eye on yours for any failures.
Well I challenge anyone to show proof of a dropped trailer using a B&W hitch that the pin box plate is touching the hitch plate, the 1" thick machined jaws are closed around kingpin and handle is closed pinned to locked.
I am waiting.
One BIGGIE to NOT do with a B&W is pin the handle open!!!!!!!
I threw my pin away and use a padlock.
