    Hmm... you got me wondering if maybe I should bring it in and have it looked at.

    Mine works very easily if no pressure is on the kingpin.

    That's what the other driver I work with was telling me. I asked the last guy that was able to pull it for me what he did. He said he lifted, slightly twisted counter clockwise and pulled. I haven't had to drop my trailer yet since then. I've tried doing what he did before but it didn't work. I'll try it again next time. I've never felt so incompetent :(

    I had to have help unhooking the previous truck until that spring was replaced, and then the lease company took it back.

    I really hope it's just that the lightbulb in my head hasn't turned on to see the way it works on this truck rather than something wrong with it. I'm going to study the crap out of it next time I unhook lol

    Think I finally got it figured out. Twist left, pull up and to the front, then to the back. Then back forward to lock into place. Sheesh...lol
