I actually just ordered a new hitch head for our EQ system and had this issue. I simply walked it into my local mechanic shop and they torqued it for me. No charge and just a few minutes of time.
Now that was pretty cool!https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0002NYDYO?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_titleGet this for the berrings, i liked it a lot. Watch a few vids, you can do it yourself pretty easily. Just make sure you can jack up your camper and support it well. Look to see if the bearings are really worn or discolored. If you have that then replace them. New cotter pins help also. Same with the breaks, clean them off a bit, make sure the magnites work if they are magnetic. They might not need adjusting. Youll do fine , and learn a bit in the process.
I'm getting the camper cleanup and ready for the summer and while doing that I have started looking at some of the maintenance items I may need to address. Mainly the tire, brakes, and bearings. So I have a few questions here.
Got It!Get this for the berrings, i liked it a lot.
Anything else I'm missing? Are either/both of the greases good for the rv wheel bearings?
Get a couple of cans of non-chlorinated Brake Cleaner.
OUCH! Glad we have a 2500.
First, full disclosure, I raced for Ford and have always owned Ford trucks due to very nice racer incentives. All of my other vehicles are Fords. That said, all 3 of the major "truck" manufacturers have very similar products that do a great job towing. I think it comes down to prior experience, unique options and personal preference. I don't race anymore and have only limited access to the incentives. If I was in the market for a new/or used truck today, I'd find the one that had what I wanted for the best price.My big dilemma is supply but second is RAM 2500 or F250. What do you prefer?
