I didn't even think of calling GD, good idea. I just reshaped the grease cap and reinstalled it so it was a tight fit. I haven't put many miles on since the repair, but I have an 800 mile round trip coming up in a few weeks, I'll keep an eye out. Looking forward to any info if you hear anything from GD (probably worth starting a new thread, I'm sure we aren't the only ones).

I will start a new thread on the grease caps as I agree and think it will be a good idea. i will share what I learn from GD for sure.

I had a bearing cap come off on my last trailer during our first trip with it. Since you can't be sure that no contaminants got into the grease, I asked the dealer to re-pack that bearing under warranty which they did. May be worth asking for that once you get new caps and are confident they will stay in place.

Yeah, I feel the same way, they should be redone. problem is my dealer is 150 miles one way, and the time and fuel costs, i would just repack them myself I think and while I am at it, get some free bearings from GD to ensure there is not already damage . Its messy and not what I want to do, but 300 more miles and then waiting for it either for an entire day or leaving it is not really something I want. I will just do the work likely but get the comp for it, which is more than reasonable.

Thanks for your input.

I would do the same if I was that far away too - my dealer (which has been great) is only 20 miles away so I have let them do most of the warranty work on my last 2 units.

Nice looking rig! My only question would be: how much clearance do you have between the bed rails and the underside of the trailer gooseneck? Looks kinda close.

Thanks! I believe it's at least 5 inches - the picture makes it look closer than it is. Next time I'm hitched up I'll measure.

If anyone is interested and running a factory puck system, the B&W OEM ball gave me an extra 1.5" of clearance over the rails - it is tall above the bed floor. Believe Curt also makes a tall one now as well. I was between 8 and 9 inches (on the lower end over the tailgate) when I measured the B&W and dropped to a Curt ball which puts me about 7-7.5" mostly because of a low bridge experience. I still carry the B&W with me and I'll probably switch back and forth on next trip just to see if there is any difference in how they tow. I like both, but I kind of think that when I was closer to TV payload, the B&W felt better.
