Pin Box model number
I am new to the forum and trying to figure out what kind of pin box I have on my Montana. It is a 2004 Big Sky Montana 3670RL. I can't seem to locate the manufacturer on it. Is there a way to find it or did this model come with only one kind? It looks like the pin box has lost it's label or was changed out. I am thinking about installing a Mor-Ryde pin box to stop the chugging on some interstates. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

In my humble opinion, there are several things that improve the ride. Newer truck, pin box options, shocks on the trailer, Moryd suspension, etc.
I went from a 2003 250 Ford to a 2007 2500 with the stock Moryd suspension on the Montana and found the difference to be great!!!

As hookman stated Keystone will give you the number of the pinbox the unit came with if you give them the VIN.
Keystone Phone Numbers: 866-425-4369 / 574 535-2100

Go here ... http://www.towdemco.com/glideride/glideride.html
Click on Glide Ride Measurements Guideline (it's OK to open this file as it's just a PDF.
Scroll down 5 pin boxes till you get to the Lippert section
Yours will be one of the following depending on your measurements.
1116, 1716, or 1621

David, even with the pin box number, a guy can install different rubber 'springs' for different weights. I got a rubber spring off of Stiles' old Big Sky, I had to change it to a lighter rubber spring because it was too rigid for my 5er.
That spring will help the chucking a great deal, mine rides so much better with it.

Be very cautious with that pin box number. Shortly after we got our 3400RL, I wanted to have a 5th Airborne pin box put on. To make a long story short, the factory mislabeled my pin box. What I had was not what the label said.

David,
Be careful when contact Keystone for the number. They gave me the wrong info, and it ended cost me $250, for return shipping and restock charge. I should have made the trip to storage and back, before ordering, the correct model was labeled on the pin box. I assumed Keystone would know what they put on my ridge, bad assumption.
Look at the pin box inside and out, measure it if you can't find the model or serial number. Call Moy/Ride and verify the measurement match the model Keystone gives you before you order. Tweety's has free shipping, and the best price I found.

Yep, the MorRyde will help a LOT and Tweety's had the best overall price factoring in free shipping vs. lower price elsewhere with shipping costs.
Bought both my Superglide and MorRyde pinbox from Tweety's...can't go wrong IMO.
