I'd be happy to help you with that. The B&W Gooseneck Hitch you referenced, part # BWGNRK1313 does fit a 2010 Ram 2500, but it is NOT compatible with the Mega Cab model.

You'll want to use the # BWGNRK1308 which IS compatible with Mega Cab models, regardless whether they have Gas or Diesel engines. If you don't have a trailer connector installed in your truck bed, you can install one using part # 41157.

I've linked you to some installation videos that you might find helpful.

For your 2010 Ram 2500 with 6-1/2 foot bed, you will want the B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck # BWGNRK1313. The installation instructions for this kit show the center of the 4 inch hole when measuring from the rear of the truck bed (not the tail gate but the ledge at the rear between the bed and the gate) is 45-1/2 inches. You then just need to center the hole side to side at that location. You can see this on page 2 of the attached installation instructions.
