    Agree. Adds some nice weight to the dumpster.

    Suppose to grease that pin every service interval.
    They do sell pin and bushing kits, but that may be so worn you may have to change the whole works. Fifth wheel and the saddle.

    The pin bushing from Holland is a rubber block with a delrin liner. Saddle should be fine.

    Yeah, that's what I was afraid of. I'll get the new one ordered Monday.
    Uncleal13, those pins have no grease fittings. The only way to grease them would be to pull them out and smear grease on them.
    Spsauerland, I had those bushings in my hand. They have something newer now, not as soft as the rubber ones, guaranteed for 3 years.
    I wonder if the Jost has greaseable pins. I'll have to do some research.

    Truck's been doing real good. Of course there's been a few repairs, as expected with a used truck, and I'm upgrading some things, but overall I've been very happy with it.
    Yes, the Atro bushings.
