Question:

I just purchased a Demco 31K 5th wheel for a Ram Puck system. Can you please tell me which Lube Plate works with this hitch? also does Demco recommend or approve of Lube Plate use? Thanks

Expert Reply:

I sure can Alex. For your Demco UMS Double Pivot 5th Wheel Hitch item # DM67GV, I recommend the 12" diameter Curt Lube Plate for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches item # C16722. Demco does recommend using a lube plate that is not thicker than 3/16" or grease on the skid plate.

The Lube Plate item # C16722 is going to be a lot cleaner than adding White Lithium Grease like item # L11354 to your Demco item # DM67GV hitch head. The lube plate will completely cover the head as well giving you a quiet smooth connection. You'll want to make sure you clean any grease off of the pin box before you install the lube plate.

What kind of 5th wheel trailer are you pulling?
