X4 - Cummins12V98Explorer III1/8" slip plate works well with the Companion hitches. Don't forget to grease the bottom grease zerk!
- Tango__AE7UIExplorerX3 for the white lithium grease on the moving points and a teflon disk on the actual fifth wheel plate.
I also have the B&W Companion
No issues since we bought the rig in '08. - F-TROUPExplorerI use white lithium grease to lube the internals of the hitch
- ETCrockettExplorerI have a BW 20K Companion and the manual instructs me to us lithium grease on the rubber bushings the head sits on. I would recommend referring back to your hitch manual.
- HelmseyExplorerAnother fan of the lube plate for the hitch and axle grease for the pin. I keep an extra lube plate in storage as mine have a funny way of falling off when I'm not paying attention.
