Question:
I have a 2020 ram 2500 short bed diesel that did not come from the factory with the under bed puck system. I would like to be able to have a clean bed after removing the fifth wheel. I am looking at the demco 18k autoslide. What are my options? Can I purchase the oem puck system?

Unfortunately there isn't an aftermarket puck system available for a 2020 Ram 2500 and the only compatible rails for a Demco 18k Autoslide # DM8550034 in the bed of your Ram would be above bed # DM8552025-71.
If you're wanting a completely clear bed then the only option is going to be the B&W Companion 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Slider # BWRVK3400-5W along with the Custom Underbed Installation Kit for B&W Companion 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # BWGNRK1320-5W. This will give you a completely clear bed when not towing and also allow you to tow gooseneck trailers with the included ball.
I've attached some videos below going over the features and installation of both of these hitches and their mounting kits.
