• Replacement Fold-Down Gooseneck Hitch for 2001 GMC Sierra 2500HD
  The Reese Fold Down Gooseneck Hitch and its install kit, part # 8339-4434 are indeed a fit for your 2001 GMC Sierra 2500HD. The plate itself is 12 x 14-1/2 inches, slightly wider than the hitch you currently have. To install the hitch, you'd first need to completely remove your existing hitch and frame mounting rails. Since your existing frame rails haven't been tested with the Reese hitch, the weight capacity would be completely unknown if you tried to reuse them. Since I don't know...

• Freeing Stuck Gooseneck Ball
  It's really difficult to say without knowing the manufacturer and model of the hitch. Generally speaking, most of the time you can clear a stuck ball using spray lubricant, heat and shock. Sometimes all three. The brand/model of the hitch will dictate where you apply the 3 methods described above. If the hitch uses a pin to release it like the B&W # BWGNRK1059, the actuating handle will typically be located in the driver's side wheel well. Give the handle a pull and twist, and you should...

• Recommended Rail Kit for Older Draw-Tite Gooseneck Hitch # 8339 On 1994 Dodge Ram 2500
  I spoke with my contact at Draw-Tite regarding the # 8339 Gooseneck Hitch that you recently obtained.

The current model dropped these two holes and has just the 4 square holes at the corners of the plate, as you referenced.

• How Does Reese Low-Profile 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Work with a Folding Gooseneck Hitch Ball
  The head, which is the top most part of hitch # RP30054, is held to the base below it with pins. Just undue the pins and you can lift the head off. The legs are short enough so that if you had a gooseneck ball that folds, such as # 8339 for example, the legs would not interfere with the operation of the gooseneck or the gooseneck coupler on the trailer. The low profile 5th wheel hitch is usually used on flat bed trucks and requires a professional installation. I have linked the install...

• Can a Toolbox be Used while Towing a Gooseneck Trailer with a 2001 Ford F-250 Short Bed
  The space needed in front of the gooseneck ball depends on how large the coupler is that fits over the ball. Remember that the coupler can not only rotate on the ball side to side but also tilt forward and back some so you would want to take some measurements without the box installed to determine about how much travel there is at the coupler and then get a box that will fit. The other thing to be concerned about is when making tight turns. If the gooseneck trailer is squared off at the...
