Common sense would dictate that they need to be kept greased, but.............have owned 4 gooseneck trailers (first one bought in 1970), 18 ft, 20 ft and 32 ft cattle trailers and a 27 ft flatbed. Only had.....I think........9 pickups (between my dad and me) in that time. Never a drop of lubricant on any of them unless we happened to spill some oil in the bed of the truck and it was always cleaned up. These trucks were typically driven 18,000-20,000 miles per year and for a good percentage of that time, they'd be pulling a trailer. Unless you put a lot more miles on than we did, I don't think it's worth the time. My current (and maybe last, given my age) truck is a '93 Dodge dually w/Cummins, bought new and with better than 300,000 miles; the ball has been it since the first week and it's spent its whole life outdoors. I don't think you could measure the 'wear' with a pair of calipers.

In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
