Setting in the Hillbilly looking over in to the Bluegrass. It was here that @singlescrewshaker made a right to pick up pump parts……

I know there are a few of you here who dabble in Politics, and have had some experience with my wife.... @TruckrsWife ... it could be a little bit before she gets back to the head banging in Politics, Her mother passed Sunday night at 2300, metastatic cancer....COVID FREE. Deb is taking it pretty hard feeling guilty for not putting some household chores aside to spend more time with her mom this past year.
Rosalie had a very good life, husband Dale, pre-deceased 5 years back, survived by 3 daughters, and 3 grand children.

When you get the replacement, send the old one to be repaired. Probably just the regulator/rectifier and brushes.

Love mine. Put a little gobagoo in the gooch and go. No more greasy 5th to brush up against. Dad's trailer has one attached to it. If you're always hooked to one trailer and one trailer only and not dropping much if ever its really nice.

I do,but for some odd reason I add a little bit of grease on the 5th wheel when I get a new one or when I start to see a little rust on the top of the 5th wheel when I unhook from the trailer.

Worth the money. But just be very careful hooking up. I back under, then inflate bags. Keeping my distance sliding as short as possible. Snow or wear can make them sag. Then off they come. I keep some extra of the lock rings and a piece of pipe that fits the ring in my pickup. With that said, I like them. I'm about due for a new one on flat. My hopper has Teflon bolted to upper coupler. Only way to go with a new trailer.

Right on, thanks. After I face planted on the 5th wheel last week, I've been thinking about one. Gonna try and pick one up while I'm out this trip.

I made mention of that to the guy I got this bucket from. He pulled the 5th wheel & slider off & moved it back 8" or so, before I got up there. I may have to pull the flap hangers off & mount flaps directly to the rear rear fenders?

No doubt you're right, its gonna be close..

@Rontonio

Our pups have 10’4” from the nose to the center of the landing gear and 30” kingpin setback, to give you an idea.

If I spot one from another company that specs theirs for single screws, I’ll check it.

Saw you bobtailing towards Florida today. Your truck really stands out. The white Volvo crowd is going to hate you.
