Video Transcript for Set up: Curt Pop-In Ball for Factory Ford and Ram Underbed Gooseneck Hitches on a 2022 Ram 2500

Hi, everyone. Aiden here at etrailer. Today, we're gonna be taking a look at this replacement gooseneck ball for your factory puck systems on our 2022 Ram 2500. Now, you can, of course, get this in the full kit that comes with the ball and the safety chain loops, but this is going to be just the replacement ball. So, if yours has become damaged or missing and you need to replace just that part, then this is the video for you. Let's check it out.

Now, this is designed to work with Ram and Super Duty trucks from Ford. So, if you've got a different truck this isn't the video for you. This is just to confirm that on our 2022 Ram 2500 that this is a fit and it's gonna function just like the old one did. You've got that ball bearing underneath that becomes locked whenever you throw that latch on top. So, that's how we pop it in and out of that factory puck system and lock it in place, and it's gonna give you the same 30,000 pound gross trailer weight rating.

It's got the same chrome plated steel construction so that chrome plating should help it resist rust and corrosion over time, but that is something to watch out for. If it does scratch away, then it may be susceptible to that wear and tear from weathering. And that's all there is to it. Again, this does get offered in a full kit with everything you need to get started if you're building from the ground up. This is just for a replacement.

Since there's nothing that really locks this in from people grabbing it, that might be something to consider, but even if it just becomes worn down over time, this is the replacement. So, if you need any of the other pieces, then you can look at those replacement videos, too. But that's just been our quick look at the replacement gooseneck ball from Curt and designed for your factory puck systems on our 2022 Ram 2500. Thanks for watching.

  • Why Couldnt Convert-A-Ball Fifth Wheel/Gooseneck Adapter Be Used with 2019 Ford F250 Super Duty
    The Convert-a-Ball Adapter # CAB-C5GX1216 that you referenced can't be used with gooseneck balls that have the plastic latch mechanisms on the top of the balls like what you most likely have. These are known as "pop-in" balls. The issue is that the Convert a Ball ends up damaging the release mechanism. [Edit: if the latch is metal it won't be an issue] We do have the very similar Ranch Hitch Adapter part # AM3139 which you could use as it does not have this fit exclusion. It's the same...

  • How to Remove the Curt Pop-In Ball # C60601 with Broken Release on a 2016 Ram
    I spoke with my contact at Curt who told me that there is an access hole at the bottom of the OEM gooseneck hitch on your 2016 Ram. You are going to look for an aluminum or plastic plug that once removed will allow you to retract the locking mechanism on the Curt Pop-In Ball # C60601. Please note that if you have left the hitch ball in your gooseneck hitch for a while (5 months or more) without applying grease to it then there could very well be some rust that is built up as well. You...

  • Finding a Replacement Ball for an Unknown Gooseneck Hitch in a 2010 Dodge Ram 2500
    Curt Pop-In Ball # C60601 is designed specifically for 2011 to 2018 Ford trucks with the factory installed gooseneck prep package or 2013 to 2018 Ram trucks with the factory installed gooseneck prep package. If the truck you bought is not one of those then this ball won't fit even if the shank is the right size (shank is 2-1/4 inches in diameter). You didn't mention the year, make, and model of the truck so if you can give me that information I can see which gooseneck hitches are available...

  • Tips To Help Remove A Stuck Reese Pop-In Gooseneck Ball On A 2016 Ford F-350 Super Duty
    While this is not a super common issue, this has happened before in the past and we do have a couple of solutions you can try to free up your stuck Curt Pop-In Ball for Factory Ford and Ram Underbed Gooseneck Hitches # C60601. If the hitch ball has been left inside your gooseneck hitch for more than 5 months, rust may have built up, which could be contributing to the ball not being able to be released. You will need to use some spray lubricant like WD-40 to help loosen up the hitch ball....

  • Difference Between Curt Gooseneck Hitch Balls For 2024 Ram 2500 Puck Systems
    Hey Chris, I checked with Curt and they said the Curt Pop-In Ball # C60601 is compatible with Ram 2500 and 3500 OEM puck systems and Curt OEM-style goosenecks for those trucks, but not other gooseneck ball holes. The Curt Pop-In Ball # C60629, per Curt, is compatible with Chevrolet, Ford, GMC, Nissan and Ram puck systems and all Curt OEM-style goosenecks.

  • Will the Demco Recon Gooseneck-to-5th Wheel Work on a 2017 Ford F-250 with OEM Prep Package
    The Demco Recon Gooseneck-to-5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter part # DM8550045 will work on a 2017 Ford F-250 with OEM Prep Package. That said, you will need a standard height goosneck hitch ball no taller than 5" from the base like the Curt Pop-In Ball for Factory Ford and Ram Underbed Gooseneck Hitches part # C60601. In regards to turning clearance, you will be limited but the amount will vary by trailer. In order to find out exactly what your turning clearance will be you need to use...

  • How To Use the Convert-A-Ball Multi-Cushioned Gooseneck Coupler With Ram Factory Gooseneck Hitch
    Yes, I do have options for a Ram 3500 to use with the Convert-A-Ball Multi-Cushioned Gooseneck Trailer Coupler part # CG. The Curt Pop-In Ball for Factory Ford and Ram Underbed Gooseneck Hitches part # C60601 will work just fine. The issue with the Convert-A-Ball Multi-Cushioned Gooseneck Trailer Coupler is not the placement of the lever but rather the construction. The factory pop-in and some aftermarket pop-in gooseneck hitch balls like the Reese Elite Series and Factory Ford and Dodge...

  • Gooseneck Ball for a 2016 Ram 3500 with Factory Gooseneck Trailer Hitch
    The factory installed gooseneck trailer hitch that is in your 2016 Ram 3500 will take either Curt ball and safety chain loops # C60618 or the Reese version # RP30140. If you want just the ball then use # C60601. Please note that if the ball on your hitch is supposed to be held in with a rod, the handle for which will be in the driver's side wheel well, then it is not the factory gooseneck hitch. It could be a dealer installed hitch though. For those I would have to know the brand of the...

  • Recommended Ball and Safety Chain Loops Kit for the Ford Prep Package and a Anderson Ultimate Hitch
    The gooseneck ball that came with the B&W Ball and Safety Chain Kit item # BWGNXA2061 is too tall. You will need to use the Curt Pop-In Ball item # C60601 instead. I have linked a diagram below that will show you the dimensions. It does come in a complete kit with safety chains Item # C60618. I didn't see your order number so I am not sure if you are able to return yours for something that will work.

  • Needing a Gooseneck Ball for a 2017 Ford F-350 With the Factory Puck System
    I found a gooseneck ball kit that will fit your 2017 Ford F-350. I recommend the Reese Elite Pop-In Ball Kit, # RP30137, for your Ford. The Reese kite will also include the safety chain loops and the 2-5/16 ball, but the Reese ball includes an integrated lock that makes installing and removing the ball easy and fast.

  • Troubleshooting Removing Rusted Curt Pop-in Gooseneck Ball
    You'll need to use a ton of WD-40 to try and break up that rust so that the lever can be lifted. Once you get it up if it's still hard to remove try hooking up to your trailer and use the jacks of it to pull up on the ball.

  • Which Gooseneck Hitch Ball For 2018 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 DRW W/ Oem Prep Package
    I have another option for you, but the Curt Pop-In Ball for Factory Ford and Ram Underbed Gooseneck Hitches - 2-5/16" Diameter Ball # C60601 is only for the Ram and Ford trucks and will not fit your 2018 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 DRW with the factory prep package. Instead you will need the Curt Pop-In Ball for Factory Chevy/GM, Ford, and Nissan Underbed Gooseneck Hitches - 2-5/16" # C60629. If you are needing the gooseneck safety chain loops as well then I recommend just getting the complete...

  • Best Way to Loosen a Seized Gooseneck Hitch Ball
    You're doing all of the correct things. Unfortunately when a gooseneck hitch ball hasn't been removed for a longer period of time and/or had lubricant applied it can seize up in the receiver which it sounds like is what happened to you. Applying some lubricant and hitting it with a mallet is the best thing you can honestly do in this situation. I've heard of people hooking up chains to the hitch ball and tugging up with something like a forklift but I don't recommend doing that as it can...

  • Which Offset Gooseneck Hitch Ball Will Fit the Factory Prep/Puck Hitch In My 2021 Ram 3500 Dually?
    To use a offset gooseneck ball on your 2021 Ram 3500 you will need to replace the factory gooseneck hitch with a B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch # BWGNRK1320. The B&W hitch mounts in the same place as the factory hitch, and does not affect the outer 4 mounting holes for a 5th wheel hitch. This will allow for you to use their 4" Offset Ball # BWGNXA4085. You can use the Reese Safety Chain Holder # RP30145 in the factory puck holes if you do not want to drill for the safety...

  • Shank Dimensions of Curt Pop-In Gooseneck Ball for Ford, GM, and Nissan Factory Gooseneck Hitches
    The Curt Pop-In Ball, part # C60629, has a shank with a diameter of 2-1/4 inches and is 3 inches long. It's designed specifically to fit the factory gooseneck hitches that are an option with newer model Fords, GMs, and Nissans. If this is what you have then the hitch ball will fit your truck. If you have a different model truck, or don't have a factory gooseneck hitch, let me know what you have and I'll see if we have a ball that will work for you. For example if you have a Ram with...

This hitch ball if you need a replacement is the Curt Pop-In Ball for Factory Ford and Ram Underbed Gooseneck Hitches - 2-5/16" Diameter Ball # C60601.

  • Will Demco Recon Gooseneck-to-5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter Work With Gooseneck 4-1/2 Above Bed

I have another option, but the Demco Recon Gooseneck-to-5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter # DM8550045 you were looking at requires the hitch ball to be 5" or less from the top of the bed, which was confirmed by my contact at Demco. Since you have the Curt gooseneck system, you can use the Curt Pop-In Ball for Factory Ford and Ram Underbed Gooseneck Hitches # C60601 which will fit your hitch, and will allow your to use the Recon # DM8550045.

    The correct gooseneck ball kit for your brand new 2016 Ford F-350 with the factory prep package is # C60692. It includes the actual 2-5/16 inch ball, safety chain loops, and a rubber cover to cover the ball hole when the ball isn't being used. If you want the ball by itself it is # C60601. I have linked videos for both parts for you. We have one physical location in Missouri but we can ship products to Denver fast so you can place your order with confidence.

  • How Tall Is The Standard Height Hitch Ball For A Ford Puck System
    The Curt Pop-In Ball for Factory Underbed Gooseneck Hitches part # C60629 is 5-1/8" from the base where it sits on the bed floor to the top of the hitch ball. However, this hitch ball has a taller base than normal. I am not sure there is an exact standard height for all gooseneck hitch balls but we do have the Curt Pop-In Ball for Factory Underbed Gooseneck Hitches part # C60601 which has more of a standard base and only measures 4" from the base where it sits on the bed floor to the top...

  • Purpose of the 4 Holes in the Bed of a 2015 Ram 3500 with Factory Gooseneck
    The safety chains of your 2015 Ram gooseneck factory hitch will install in the two rear pucks that are behind the ball. The two in the front are for if you wanted to install a fifth wheel hitch. The hitch would install in all four of the pucks. For that you would want a fifth wheel hitch part # RP30918.

If you need the safety chain loops as well then I recommend the Curt Ball and Safety Chain Loops Kit part # C60618 which has the same hitch ball listed above. The tallest gooseneck hitch ball they have for your Ram is the B&W Ball and Safety Chain Kit part # BWGNXA2062 which is around 1-3/4" more than the above option from Curt. If height is what you are after then this is the hitch ball...
