No-Lube Plate Or Grease - What Do You Use?

[BuckeyeTravelers]

Just curious, what is everyone using on their pin box. Thanks!!!

I use the plate grease is too messy.

Same here -- slip disk. That's because grease somehow magically leaps across thin air and lands on me otherwise.

Nothing yet but just switched from goose neck to 5th wheel hitch and going to use a Plate. Grease seems to like me too well.

I use the plate, I also use a small amount of Grease in the groove on my Pin, I think it saves wear on the locking Jaw....

I use the silicone plate, I had to order two from Hensley due to the hitch ( BD3 Trailer Saver FW hitch) that I have, they are thinner then the average so the hitch will operate correctly. So far so good. I'm also grease challenged - no matter what I'm doing it will find me. lol

Plate, but I do lube the hitch pivot and jaw mechanism.

I also use the plate and grease the pin for lubrication.

For our use, the silicone plate is a no-brainer. I am very concencious about keeping various points on the hitch lubed, but I don't like excess lube. I disassemble the hitch each year and clean, and then lightly grease the proper points to make everything work well; but as for the rotating surface, the plate is clean and simple.

We just bought one of these green plates and had it installed on our Reese 20k hitch at Dually Depot in Elkhart. Less than $60 installed! No more falling discs!!

I use a lube plate as well but I really like the looks of that!!!

Same as John. Put some grease on the pin so it greases the jaw.

I could not find where to buy anywhere else, I googled everything I could think of. I didn't get to keep the packaging, we bought and had installed immediately.

If you're in Elkhart, go by Dually Depot.

Plate also. Tried grease and found it to rub clean too soon (typically on my shirt).
