Products Featured in This Question
Question:
Kyle, In the video I watched showing the Revolution wedge being activated, it shows lithium spray being applied to the sides of the wedge and the back side of the pin. If this is correct, how often should I spray those areas? With every trip? Also, does the Revolution pivot point need any maintenance, lubricated? My 5th wheel is a 2018 model and the Revolution pin box has been locked out up to now. I now own a short bed truck and would like to use the Revolution feature. Thanks .

Thanks for the purchase of the Reese M5 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch for Ram Towing Prep Package # RP30918, and the pivot assemblies do not need to be greased before your first trip. What you can do is grease them before the start of each season, and you'll be set.
To do so you can use LubriMatic Multi-Purpose Lithium Grease # L11315 with LubriMatic Professional Pistol Grease Gun # L30416 and attach a grease needle to it, which is available at local automotive stores.
In regards to if it will work with your Revolution pin box, yes it definitely will. The Revolution and M5 have different capacities, but each is more than enough for a 10,500 lb loaded trailer.
