Question:
I have the original Recon DM8550045 that fits to the gooseneck ball. Can I take the top part off of it and fit it to this new model for the puck system on my 2024 Sierra 3500 with the short bed?

Expert Reply:
While the head of the Demco Recon Gooseneck-to-5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter # DM8550045 is the same thing as the head of the Demco Recon 5th Wheel Hitch w/ Slider Chevy/GMC Prep Package # DM97YV, I only recommend doing that if you'd like to have a replacement head on-hand.
The new hitch isn't pieced out for you to do that so you'd be better off getting a whole new hitch with the slider and then selling off your old unit to help offset the cost.
