Adapter Binding in Class V Receiver
I have a 2013 Ram 2500 with a Class V (2-1/2") receiver and tow with a Propride hitch with a 2" shank. I use an adapter in the receiver. My locking pin has an angled end and a straight end that the lock goes on to.
I have developed burrs around the inside of the hole in the receiver that the locking pin goes through. I think the bend in the locking pin makes it possible for the pin to move while towing and the motion hammers the edge of the hole in the receiver. The burrs make it difficult to get the adapter into the receiver and even harder to get it out.
I'm going to grind the burrs and am thinking about changing my pin in hopes of preventing further damage. Has anyone experienced a similar problem and if so, what was the solution?
Thanks,
Al
