companion slider noisy/ doesnt slide well
I have upgraded to a Ram 2500 with a 5.7 gas engine. With this new truck the wife would have no hitch rails in the bed so it was decided to install a b&w gooseneck hitch and a companion slider. it has been in for a year and the ball release is rusted to the point that it is hard to release and the slide doesn't move smoothly and makes a ton of noise, sounds like dragging a wrecked car off the tow truck. really happy with the way the truck pulls the trailer but having trouble living with the hitch. Any suggestions?3.1KViews0likes10CommentsRe: DROPPED IT
Yes it was the fifth wheel. there is not much visible damage to the trailer. The trailer was latched, and we pulled it quite a hill to get out of the drive just before it came down. The flip over catch that holds the handle of the reese 15k was forced up by the handle as it went by. the worst part is really that I tow with about 12" between the box and trailer so it had a long way to fall, and it hit hard.392Views0likes0Comments
