Re: PULLING A TRAILER AND HEAR A POP
I replaced my pin earlier this yr because it was starting to "u" (bend) in the middle. Looks like your breakaway cable is in need of replacement also.

Re: PULLING A TRAILER AND HEAR A POP
You got seriously lucky! Maybe consider replacing that rusty locking hitch pin every 15 years or so?!?!?

gotcha-im still a firm believer in pins holding pins holding pins in cant be too safe when dragging 8000 pounds down the road-remember the trailer is behind you-itll probobly hurt someone else before it gets you hurt-you dont want that to be on your shoulders

Re: PULLING A TRAILER AND HEAR A POP
I HATE those locking ones. I never liked how mine fit & finally it fell off & my hitch fell out of the back of my truck. Im thankfull that it did not happen on the freeway & kill someone. It did cost me $300 to get a new hitch though. I will never buy another one of those locking ones.
I bought a "Normal" one that has a pin & drilled the hole out a tad bit to fit a padlock. it works bitchen & I KNOW that the stupid lock will not fall off of the pin. Bob
