A little more on the "Ball Joints" being bad. My truck is a pavement princess with no off roading no different than the guy in the video. Can't get much easier duty than my truck gets or his concerning ball joint wear.
Wait a minute here, I know for a fact that you drive on California highways all winter and commute North in the spring and South in the fall on I-5 in Northern California, which are similar to "off road" roads in other states.
No lateral stress like off road.
There's a lot of stress on the front end parts when towing a gooseneck/fifth wheel.
Are you kidding????? My 6k pin adds around 175# to the steer axle, THAT will do nothing to cause stress on the front components.
My hitch is full forward to be clear. If this guy adds 100# to his front axle with the RV's he is towing I would be shocked.
If it adds so much stress then my front end should be toast at 102k.
No I'm not kidding.
