I am sorry to hear about your problem with your Curt Q24 5th wheel hitch #C16245. With a trailer as large and heavy as a 42-foot Montana it will be critical to have the trailer and truck on level ground and in a straight line with each other for…

It sounds to me like the jaws on your Curt Q25 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch - Dual Jaw - 25,000lbs Item #C16265 need to be greased or that you may have backed into the king pin with the jaws not locked in the coupling position and could have damaged the…

I spoke with Curt about the Curt Q25 5th Wheel Hitch and was informed that they do not offer the locking jaw mechanism as a replacement part. I know this is not what you wanted to hear but the fact remains. That said, if you want you can replace…

Thank you for all of the information regarding your Curt Q25 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch #C16265 being stuck on your 5th wheel trailer. It sounds like you've got 2 things going on here; the first is that the jaws are binding, and the second is…

I reached out to my contact at Curt and walked him through your issue and process to disconnect. He said the issue sounds like you are taking too much weight off of the hitch. The hitch needs a certain amount of weight on it to function correctly…

From what I was able to find out from my research, the Tie Down Engineering 11033 hub has a 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern and is designed for 3500-lb axles. Replacement hubs that have these specs typically use a #L68149 inner bearing and…

Load range B trailer tires are going to have a lower capacity than C load range tires. Basically that, psi rating, and the ply rating are the only differences. A higher load range tire would last a little longer than lower load ranges of the same…

The dealer was partially correct, you should re-grease your bearings once each year. This is considered standard maintenance for any trailer. As far as the high-temp grease vs. standard grease, that sounds like they may have been trying to drum up…

Thanks for getting me all the info needed to pick out a hub! Based on what you listed the correct hub you need for a replacement is the part #84545BX. This uses the same bearings as what you have and has a matching bolt pattern.

First, thank you so much for those measurements they were extremely helpful, and with that we know you have bearings #25580 and #15123. There are two bearing kits that use these bearings, with the only difference being the inner diameter of the…

You are exactly right when you mentioned the tongue weight of a trailer being accounted for when determining its overall capacity. It is not uncommon for trailer manufacturers to list a trailer's GVWR to be a bit higher than the combined…
