Comparing the Stromberg Carlson Replacement Motors LG-196308 and LG-142178
Question:
I purchased the gearbox LG-179015 and the LG-196308 @ 6,500 lbs. for my 06 Forest River Lite Fifth Wheel. After installation, the motor sounds over worked and then blows the fuse. I think that it is the follow leg that is the problem but I want to just replace both legs. Which legs will fit my trailer and do you sell them as a set? Thank you for your time.

Both the Replacement Motor # LG-196308 and # LG-142178 have the same mounting dimensions but, like you said the 196308 has a higher weight capacity at 6,500 lbs. The only other notable difference is that the 142178 has a motor speed of 5,500 rpm while the 196308 has a motor speed of 5,430 rpm.
I would go with the higher rated motor as it will last longer because it won't be working as hard. Just be mindful thought that if your landing gear is only rated for 5,500 lbs it will be your limiting factor.
