I'm down again until I can get a new 5th wheel.
Or swap out the one from the day cab.
I'll lose my extra height if I do the latter plus its a bunch of heavy lifting to do myself.
No one seems to want to rebuilt my Jost and the rebuild kits are more expensive than just buying a new plate anyway.
Fleetpride Carlisle has a shop that will do the swap over to a new one. Gotta get it ordered and in and an appointment.
Swiping the Discover now seems more prudent because I'd be cursing the day cab 5th come winter again anyway.
All this comes after a bunch of attempts to adjust it with the rod, replacing that pad thing, thinking it needed just a tiny bit more adjustment, seemingly getting close, then lately slamming from a stop worse than ever.
It's to the point I don't trust it. Its a loud bang coming off a red light.
I'll get the mount rebushed and pinned as well. Its definitely not the source of the bang but it's a might as well type thing.
