Question:

I have draw tite 16k fifth wheel hitch. I bought it new in 2004. Trying to determine what custom wedge I need for the Reese revolution pin box. I will be picking my new RV in several weeks and it has the Reese revolution.

Depending on the exact model number of the Draw-Tite fifth wheel hitch there may not be a custom wedge available. If this is the case you can use the universal wedge # 201100 which should come with the Revolution on the trailer.

If you can let me know the model number of your hitch I'll see if we have a custom wedge. Or if you can't determine the exact model reply to me with some pictures of the hitch and I'll take a look at them.

Picked up my fifth wheel from repair shop and there was a loud pop as I was pulling out from icy parking lot. Didn’t think much , thought it was ice.When I was parking trailer the was another pop and when I noticed the wedge had cheared off king pin. Will I need to replace king pin?I have a 16K Reese revolution hitch.

This really just depends on the condition of the king pin and how the wedge was actually sheared off. If there is visible/physical damage to the king pin it will need to be replaced or repaired, both for safe operation and to allow fitment of a new wedge. Since the Revolution is an OEM component you will want to contact the trailer manufacturer directly to see how this can be accomplished.
