Hard to get good help these days. Sure you already noticed, but when you go into reverse, you bleed off all line pressure. So your coupler will move in and out like it is broken. That's normal, but still funky at 1st. Makes for a lotta slop.

Yeah, that did look weird, but I knew what was going on.
I had to remove the whole coupler from the trailer frame to spin the solenoid in.....it has a small leak and will need to come off to tighten. For some reason the directions tell you not to use any kind of pipe dope on the threads?
