Question:
Is there some special link made only for Gen-Y? I ask because I can make a chain with 3/8inch grade 70. Would that fit on a Gen-Y executive gooseneck?

Hello Mike; yes, there is a safety chain made specifically for the Gen-Y gooseneck pin boxes. The correct chain for this hitch is the Safety Chain with 2 Hooks for Gen-Y 5th Wheel to Gooseneck Pin Box # GY49GR. This is a 3/8" grade 70 chain and according to Gen-Y their chain is the ONLY safety chain that is compatible with their pin boxes. For that reason, I have to discourage you from making your own chain, and I strongly suggest going with the chain made by Gen-Y. Not that I doubt your chain-making abilities, but if you use another chain it could cause potential warranty issues.
