Hey Don, thanks for reaching out. We do have a gooseneck ball that will work with the OEM system in your 2024 Ram 2500, but the Remov-a-Ball Gooseneck Hitch Ball # 5973 you mentioned will not work with that. The # 5973 is only for the Remov-a-Ball model 6300 aftermarket gooseneck hitch.
For the OEM system if your Ram, what you will need is an OEM style ball like the Curt # C60618. This has the latch tab on top of the ball. Or if you want an upgraded option, go with the B&W # BWGNXA2062. This has a locking handle on the side of the ball. This tends to be a lot more durable than the latch-style balls. The latch on top of the ball can get pretty chewed up over time, so the B&W is what I would go with personally. Safety chain loops and a convenient carrying case are included.

Hey Don, how did things turn out with the gooseneck ball for your Ram’s OEM system? Did you end up going with the Curt or the B&W option? Knowing what worked might help someone else setting up their truck the same way.
