Today on this 2011 Dodge Ram 2500 were gonna install part number 9464-35.Now, to get the truck ready for installation what weve done is lowered the spare tire and we also removed the wheels. You dont have to but it makes things a lot easier. And we also removed the inside fender well.So the next thing we need to do is we go underneath the truck, youll see we have a heat shield. We have to remove that as well. We got our two fasteners here and here and one, two, three here. This fasteners behind a heat shield so you have to have an extension to go in between.
Gooseneck Trailer Hitch Installation - 2002 GMC Sierra
Today on a 2002 GMC Sierra, were going to install Curts Double Lock Gooseneck Hitch using part number C600-652. Alright what we have done so far is remove the rear wheels and the spare tire. Now you dont have to remove the rear wheels, but it makes it easier to get access to the frame and get in there and see what is going on. So after that our first step is going to be to cut our a piece of heat shield. This is the section we are going to have to remove for the heat shield, from here to here, because our hitch is going to sit right in this spot. And to make things easier there, we will loosen up the truck bed, and tilt it up so that we can get to it.
Gooseneck Trailer Hitch Installation - 2007 Dodge Ram 2500
Today on this 2007 Dodge Ram 2500 we are going to be installing part number C600-659, the double lock gooseneck hitch by Curt. For the ease of installation we have gone ahead and removed the rear tires and the spare tires just to make things a little more accessible and easier to install. Our first step is going to be finding 47-1/2 inches off the edge of our truck bed as this is an 8 foot bed, or considered a long bed pickup. This is going to be our center mark between our wheel wells and it is also our mark for 47-1/2 inches off the edge of the bed. What I am going to do now is drill a pilot hole through the bed liner, just making a mark in the steel bed. I am just using it as a reference point in the steel bed because I am going to re-measure everything to make sure that the bed liner is square to the truck bed. I am taking out our push pins for the removal of our bed liner. Next I am going to get my torque spit and ratchet. We have four hold down hooks that are going to have to be removed. Here is the passenger rear corner. We are going to do the other three the same way. Now I am going to go ahead and pull this bed liner out. You can see here is the mark we made with our pilot hole through the bed liner. Now what we will want to do is re-measure this so that we can see if we are still at our 47-1/2 inch mark. And you will see now we are actually about a quarter of an inch off. We need to go towards the cab a quarter of an inch. I am going to go ahead and check my wheel well to wheel well measurement now. See if there is any difference there. There is a slight difference from side to side between the wheel wells. We are going to need to move towards the passenger side about 1/8 of an inch. OK, now we have our pilot hole through the bed that is going to mark out our larger hole once we get our gooseneck in place. 1:55
Gooseneck Trailer Hitch Installation - 2007 Dodge Ram 1500
Today on this 2007 Dodge Ram 1500, we are going to install part number 9464-38 from Draw-Tite. This is the Hide-A-Goose gooseneck hitch. What we have done so far is gone ahead and removed the spare tire and the wheels on the back axle. You do not have to take the tires off of the vehicle but it makes the installation a lot easier to do. Also in this case, it might be a good idea to loosen the exhaust up in order to have room to install the hitch head as well. In this case however, we are actually going to do it a little bit different. We are actually going to loosen the bed itself up, tilt it up and we will install the gooseneck hitch as one piece. There are three bolts on each side we need remove to loosen the bed. We have this one here, and on the back side towards the tailgate and there is one hidden at the very back end of the rail right here. We are going to use a piece of timber to help push up the bed and then we will use a small block of wood to actually hold it in there while we install the hitch itself. 1:02
Fifth Wheel Base Rail Kit Installation - 2004 Ford F-150
Today on this 2004 Ford F-150 we are going to install part number RP30080, we are also going to install part number 49080 from Draw-Tite. This is their Pro Series 25K gooseneck plate for fifth wheel rails. The first thing we need to do is get the vehicle up in the air a little bit to lower the suspension so it will be easier to get to the frame and tighten the bolts. We also lowered the spare tire too to give us a little extra room if we need to. The first thing we are going to do is mark our location for our rail that goes towards the back of the bed and we are going to measure from the back edge of the bed itself up to the back edge of the rail as described in the instructions. We are going to take our rail and line it up with those two marks and then you want to even it out left and right. 00:44
Gooseneck Trailer Hitch Installation - 2008 Ford F-250 Super Duty
Today we are going to be working on this 2008 Ford F-250 Super Duty and we are going to be showing you how to install part number 9460-48 from Draw-Tite. As you can see we have already removed the spare tire just to get it out of the way because we are going to need to access up underneath here. Next we are going to have to remove the heat shield. We are going to take off the bolts located here and here. There should be two at the top of the frame as well. Now we are going to remove our exhaust bracket at this location here. If you can see, there is an exhaust bracket back here towards the front of the vehicle we are going have to remove that one too by removing the two bolts that are holding up the exhaust bracket from the cross member. 00:45
Gooseneck Trailer Hitch Installation - 2001 Dodge Ram Pickup 2500
Today on this 2001 Dodge Ram eight foot bed 2500 series we are going to install gooseneck hitch part number 9460-39. We need to do a couple of things first to get ready to install this hitch. First off we need to lower the spare tire so we have room to work underneath. Second, the fender well has a plastic cover on the inside. We need to remove that so we can get room for the side brackets to install those into the frame. First we will take off the mud flap and then we will take out the fender liner. After you drill out these two rivets you are going to need a right angle drill. These rivets never seem to do too much work so they just pop right off. This will be reinstalled once we get done. Next we are going to lower our exhaust. We are going to just take these rubber hangers, spray them down with some lubricant, and slide them off and push them off to the side. Also to take note this is an after market exhaust, basically the hitch is designed for stock exhaust in figurations. 01:16
Gooseneck Trailer Hitch Installation - 2006 Ford F-250 Diesel
Today, on this 2006 Ford F-250 Diesel, we will be installing Hide-a-Goose part number 9460-48. The first thing we want to do in preparation of installing our gooseneck assembly is go ahead and lower your exhaust down. Depending on your model year, this being a 2006, we just need to remove the rear most hanger here, but I actually want to take the whole bracket down off of the frame rail because we are going to be installing a new bracket piece to help lower the exhaust once the gooseneck is installed. There is just one bolt to the side of the frame we just want to set that off to the side because we will be reusing that bolt and flange nut assembly there. Now that we have the exhaust lowered, we can go ahead and slide our cross members into place. You do want to note that the two cross members that come with the installation kit are different. The front cross member has two extra holes here in the middle whereas the rear one does not. So, before we slide those into place we do want to install our carriage bolts into position because once we rails in place we will not be able to get the carriage bolts into place. We are going to be using 5/8 carriage bolts in these positions here. 1:05
Gooseneck Trailer Hitch Installation - 2001 Ford F-250 and F-350 Super Duty
Today on this 2001 Ford F-250 Super Duty we will be installing Hide-A-Goose part number 9460-48. Before we get started we need to do a couple of things in preparation. First thing we are going to do is go ahead and lower the spare tire and get it out of our way. We also want to remove the heat shield from this section directly over the exhaust and over the axle well. And then we also need to lower the exhaust off of its rear most hanger. With those three things done we can actually go up inside the bed and start by drilling our hole in the bed. We need to check with the directions to verify the appropriate length that you need to mark and drill your hole at. On this particular long bed model we are going to be measuring from the end of the bed here. My dimension on this long bed model will be 46-3/16 inches. We just want to center that mark in between the wheel wells. 00:51
