A frenemy promises something that it never really delivers, true friendship. Because a frenemy relationship is typically one-sided and not, a real friendship at all. In fact, it's a toxic relationship that usually develops over time, typically after the toxic person was first, a trusted friend.
So… what’s the point…?JolliRoger, Rideandrepair, Gatordude and 6 others Thank this. -

Welcome to TTR.
Since you are a stranger to me, I sure hope that you are not a serial killer. And, if you are/were... you are now in retirement.
Thanks for helping out your fellow man. Hope it wasn't too traumatic for you & you are not scarred for life.

Son called me last night on a Tyson 5th wheel that wouldn't latch. He's not real familiar with 5th wheel internals, and I was 2 miles away.
Anyway, the jaws were closing about 2/3rds around the king pin, but that's as far as they'd go. The adjusting bolt out the front was also angled a bit.
We flipped it over and the jaw lock (probably not correct terminology) was bent all to hell. Never seen one quite like it.
Driver says it's been working fine, he just unhooked another and slid under this one and it didn't work.
You bet buddy...
That piece with the red on it should be u bolt shaped with square corners. I'm guessing he high hooked it and just beat the hell out of the adjusting bolt with the king pin whilevl trying to free it.
