I need some help here from you experienced 5th wheelers.
I bought a new Dodge 1 ton DRW with a long bed which required the purchase of a new hitch, B&W Companion. The old truck was a Dodge 3/4 ton short bed with a Pullrite SuperGlide 18K. (I was told by PullRite that the SuperGlide brackets were not engineered for a 1 ton long bed.)
I installed the new hitch today and removed the "capture plate" from the pin box on my 3612 Razor. When I attempted to hook up to the trailer this afternoon and I took the weight off of the jacks, I noticed that the pin box was not resting on the fifth wheel with a gap of about a quarter of an inch and it appeared that the weight of the pin was on the jaws.
I have tried without success to find a schematic of a Lippert pin box to see if I am missing a part that may have been taken off when the capture plate was installed.
Any advice on what to do or a direction to go will be appreciated.
