Proper Lubrication for 5th Wheel Hitches
Question:
I just received the BandW 5th wheel companion hitch for my f350, what grease do you recommend for the zerk fitting?
asked by: Steve W
Expert Reply:
You will want to use a white lithium grease for the grease fitting that is on top of the head unit on your B & W 5th Wheel Companion Trailer Hitch, # BWKRVK3300. I recommend using item # L11354. This is a multi-purpose white lithium grease that comes in a 14 ounce tube that will fit any standard grease gun.
I recommend item # PTW54290 if you're in need of a grease gun or wanting to replace an older one. I have personally owned this one for over 10 years and it has never let me down. It is extremely easy to get open and replace the grease tubes as well. Does not leak out of the top or the hose connections either.
