95% of my pulling is with a gooseneck but I do have a 5000 lb. travel trailer which I do not use a wd hitch with. I have seen pictures of these hitches coming apart but I believe most of them were pulling travel trailers with the wd hitch. My truck is an '07 3500 drw so I don't think I need a wd hitch for my camper. My question is-is it possible that the wd system amplifies the torque on these hitches causing them to fail? The oem hitch doesn't look all that strong but I would think gm would quit using them if they were all that bad by themselves. Just wondering if people improperly adjusting the wd hitch is causing most of the problem.
