Video Transcript for Curt Pop-In Ball for Factory Underbed Gooseneck Hitches Installation - 2022 Ram 2500
Hi, everyone. Aiden here at etrailer. Today, we're gonna be taking a look at this replacement gooseneck ball for your factory puck systems on our 2022 Ram 2500. Now, you can, of course, get this in the full kit that comes with the ball and the safety chain loops, but this is going to be just the replacement ball. So, if yours has become damaged or missing and you need to replace just that part, then this is the video for you. Let's check it out.
Now, this is designed to work with Ram and Super Duty trucks from Ford. So, if you've got a different truck this isn't the video for you. This is just to confirm that on our 2022 Ram 2500 that this is a fit and it's gonna function just like the old one did. You've got that ball bearing underneath that becomes locked whenever you throw that latch on top. So, that's how we pop it in and out of that factory puck system and lock it in place, and it's gonna give you the same 30,000 pound gross trailer weight rating.
It's got the same chrome plated steel construction so that chrome plating should help it resist rust and corrosion over time, but that is something to watch out for. If it does scratch away, then it may be susceptible to that wear and tear from weathering. And that's all there is to it. Again, this does get offered in a full kit with everything you need to get started if you're building from the ground up. This is just for a replacement.
Since there's nothing that really locks this in from people grabbing it, that might be something to consider, but even if it just becomes worn down over time, this is the replacement. So, if you need any of the other pieces, then you can look at those replacement videos, too. But that's just been our quick look at the replacement gooseneck ball from Curt and designed for your factory puck systems on our 2022 Ram 2500. Thanks for watching.

This gooseneck ball worked perfectly and delivery was prompt I will definitely use these folks again. Thanks
by: Scott 12/22/2023
Won’t use it until next month, I already own a curt ball and it’s the best out there. One thing I have to say, shipping was amazing and was here in less than a week… thanks
by: Wayne08/04/2019
Works as it should. However if I didn’t already have the stock receiver I would have put a turnover ball gooseneck on the truck. My old F-250 had a B&W turnover ball gooseneck in it and it was great. Didn’t have to store the ball someplace or clean out the hole ever time I need to put in the ball.

Receive 5th wheel mount and gooseneck ball in a timely matter both were easy to install less than 15 min. Highly recommend using etrailer on your next purchase
by: Billy03/09/2018
I don't write reviews, but this time I am.
I am totally pleased in my dealings with etrailer in all respects.
The friendliness of Katrina B. And the feedback of George J.
product was delivered on time and quickly compared to other
companies.
I bought the C60601 25/16" ball and the C60608 chain anchors
for my '17 f350 King Ranch. If you got the picture I have put
them in a water proof hard case so they won'the rattle.
The case can't weigh more than 3# and the whole thing
weighs 19.5 lbs. They are good looking and heavy duty pieces
of equipment and would cost about 21/2 times that much
at the dealership.
I will use them for my 24ft gooseneck in hauling my tractors
and hay on occasion.
Thank you

When the product arrived, I was sorry to see that every box was marked “Made in China”.
by: Larry04/16/2020
The C60629 gooseneck ball did not work with the DEMCO RECON fifthwheel hitch in my 2020 GMC 2500HD pickup. However upon talking with reps from your company I was able to order a different ball C60601 designed for Ford and GM trucks and it works fine with my new hitch, part no. DM8550045.
The first ball considered a "high rise" type was about an inch longer than the replacement (C60601) and the middle collar much thicker than the replacement ball.
Everyone at etrailer was very helpful and I received my orders promptly. Thank you so much! I am impressed with your professionalism and very prompt and friendly service.
by: Mike H.07/12/2014
I could only find the Curt Pop-In Ball for my gooseneck horse trailer one place locally and it was almost twice the cost of the ball I ordered from etrailer. The ordering process and delivery from etrailer was quick and simple. I expect to do more business with etrailer in the near future.
by: Jordan 06/20/2020
Gooseneck ball fit as it should. Not exactly like the one I had with the “puck” kit but I called 3 trailer dealerships, Napa, looked online and this is the only one that I could buy just the ball not the whole kit. In general, buy a B&W hitch next time to avoid this all together.
by: Daniel05/01/2021
Excellent product! Perfect fit...extremely fast shipping!
Thank you all!
by: REYNOLDS01/23/2015
THE GOOSENECK BALL ARRIVED TODAY, THE BALL LOOKS TO BE WELL MADE AND I LIKE THE LATCH ON IT . BETTER THAN FACTORY ONE DODGE SELL'S AT HALF THE PRICE.
NICE TO HAVE CHOICES AND THE E-BAY. IF I NEED PARTS LATER WILL SURE GIVE YOU A LOOK AT. THANKS REYNOLDS

This product was exactly what I thought it would be. The customer service that etrailer provided was excellent. The customer service alone will bring me back.

- Replacement Curt 60601 Gooseneck Hitch Ball for a 2017 Ram 3500Hey Tom, thanks for reaching out! The direct replacement for the Curt 60601 gooseneck hitch ball is the Curt Pop-In Ball # C60601. The Reese Hitch Ball # RP19311 you referenced will also fit your 2017 Ram 3500 but it's an alternative option as opposed to a direct replacement to the Curt gooseneck hitch ball.
view full answer... - Warranty on Curt Gooseneck Ball for 2017 F-350 Puck SystemSince the ball is 2 years old, it does not qualify for Curt's warranty. The Curt Pop-In Ball for Underbed Gooseneck Hitches # C60601 has a 1 year warranty on parts, in addition to a lifetime limited warranty against breakage or any type of manufacturer's defect-I'm not sure that this would qualify as a manufacturer's defect, but you can reach out to Curt directly. I've attached their warranty breakdown page as an FYI.

- Best Way to Loosen a Seized Gooseneck Hitch BallYou're doing all of the correct things. Unfortunately when a gooseneck hitch ball hasn't been removed for a longer period of time and/or had lubricant applied it can seize up in the receiver which it sounds like is what happened to you. Applying some lubricant and hitting it with a mallet is the best thing you can honestly do in this situation. I've heard of people hooking up chains to the hitch ball and tugging up with something like a forklift but I don't recommend doing that as it can...
view full answer... - Gooseneck Ball That Fits 2016 Ford F-350 The gooseneck ball that goes with your 2016 Ford F-350 with the trailering package would be the Curt Pop-In Ball for Factory Ford and Ram Underbed Gooseneck Hitches # C60601. I have added a link to a video review of this gooseneck ball for you to take a look at as well.
view full answer... - Purpose of the 4 Holes in the Bed of a 2015 Ram 3500 with Factory GooseneckThe safety chains of your 2015 Ram gooseneck factory hitch will install in the two rear pucks that are behind the ball. The two in the front are for if you wanted to install a fifth wheel hitch. The hitch would install in all four of the pucks. For that you would want a fifth wheel hitch part # RP30918.
view full answer... - Which Gooseneck Hitch Ball For 2018 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 DRW W/ Oem Prep PackageI have another option for you, but the Curt Pop-In Ball for Factory Ford and Ram Underbed Gooseneck Hitches - 2-5/16" Diameter Ball # C60601 is only for the Ram and Ford trucks and will not fit your 2018 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 DRW with the factory prep package. Instead you will need the Curt Pop-In Ball for Factory Chevy/GM, Ford, and Nissan Underbed Gooseneck Hitches - 2-5/16" # C60629. If you are needing the gooseneck safety chain loops as well then I recommend just getting the complete...
view full answer... - Replacement Gooseneck Ball for Mopar Ram Hitch Prep PackageThe Replacement Hitch Ball # BWGNXA2000 is designed to fit B and W Turnover hitches. Since you said you have factory equipment I am assuming you mean you have the Mopar hitch prep package and are in need of a gooseneck ball. If so, you would actually need the part # C60601, or part # RP30140 if you want the safety chain loops as well.
view full answer... - Ball Stuck in my Factory Gooseneck on my 2016 Ford F-250 In this case not being able to access the bottom is the issue. There is a rubber cap that when removed will allow you to turn the release mechanism manually. You could open up the bottom cover you mentioned that has the two holes in it to gain access to the manual release. Another option is to pull up on the center pin you can still see in the top with a thin set of needle nose pliers or straight hemostats. I'm sure they tried that but worth a shot. If that pin is seized (possibly...
view full answer... - Needing a Gooseneck Ball for a 2017 Ford F-350 With the Factory Puck SystemI found a gooseneck ball kit that will fit your 2017 Ford F-350. I recommend the Reese Elite Pop-In Ball Kit, # RP30137, for your Ford. The Reese kite will also include the safety chain loops and the 2-5/16 ball, but the Reese ball includes an integrated lock that makes installing and removing the ball easy and fast.
view full answer... - Tips To Help Remove A Stuck Reese Pop-In Gooseneck Ball On A 2016 Ford F-350 Super DutyWhile this is not a super common issue, this has happened before in the past and we do have a couple of solutions you can try to free up your stuck Curt Pop-In Ball for Factory Ford and Ram Underbed Gooseneck Hitches # C60601. If the hitch ball has been left inside your gooseneck hitch for more than 5 months, rust may have built up, which could be contributing to the ball not being able to be released. You will need to use some spray lubricant like WD-40 to help loosen up the hitch ball....
view full answer... - Will Demco Recon Gooseneck-to-5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter Work With Gooseneck 4-1/2 Above BedThanks for the picture! I have another option, but the Demco Recon Gooseneck-to-5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter # DM8550045 you were looking at requires the hitch ball to be 5" or less from the top of the bed, which was confirmed by my contact at Demco. Since you have the Curt gooseneck system, you can use the Curt Pop-In Ball for Factory Ford and Ram Underbed Gooseneck Hitches # C60601 which will fit your hitch, and will allow your to use the Recon # DM8550045. I included a video of...
view full answer... - Finding a Replacement Ball for an Unknown Gooseneck Hitch in a 2010 Dodge Ram 2500Curt Pop-In Ball # C60601 is designed specifically for 2011 to 2018 Ford trucks with the factory installed gooseneck prep package or 2013 to 2018 Ram trucks with the factory installed gooseneck prep package. If the truck you bought is not one of those then this ball won't fit even if the shank is the right size (shank is 2-1/4 inches in diameter). You didn't mention the year, make, and model of the truck so if you can give me that information I can see which gooseneck hitches are available...
view full answer... - Best Gooseneck Trailer Hitch Ball for 2016 Ford F-350 with Factory Gooseneck/5th Wheel Prep PackageThe correct gooseneck ball kit for your brand new 2016 Ford F-350 with the factory prep package is # C60692. It includes the actual 2-5/16 inch ball, safety chain loops, and a rubber cover to cover the ball hole when the ball isn't being used. If you want the ball by itself it is # C60601. I have linked videos for both parts for you. We have one physical location in Missouri but we can ship products to Denver fast so you can place your order with confidence.
view full answer... - How to Free Stuck Trailer Ball from OEM Gooseneck Hitch It sounds like you might have a gooseneck ball like the Curt # C60601. The ball uses 2 large ball bearings to lock it into the collar of the hitch. The best way to proceed is to continue to spray large amounts of lubricant like WD-40 or PB Blaster between the ball and the collar of the hitch. Concentrate on the areas 90º to the right and left of the latch, and also into the latch mechanism. You might need to do this several times over a day or two, as you want the lubricant to penetrate...

This will insert right into your gooseneck hole in the center of your bed. Don't forget your safety chain loops, Curt Safety Chain Loops for Factory Ram Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch - Qty 2 item # C60617.

view full answer... - Troubleshooting Curt Pop In Ford Gooseneck C60601 that Doesnt ReleaseOn the bottom of the hitch ball there is a plastic plug. Remove this plug. Using a pliers, manually turn the paddle to allow the retaining balls to retract. If the retaining balls do not retract, spray liberally with penetrating oil. If the retaining balls remain set, force will need to be applied via a hammer to the hitch ball to attempt to jar the retaining balls loose.
view full answer... - Gooseneck Hitch Recommendation for a 2014 Ram 3500 8 Foot BedIf your 2014 Ram 3500 with an 8 foot bed does not have the factory underbed hitch prep package you would want the B and W Gooseneck Hitch part # BWGNRK1314. Doesn't matter if you have a dually axle, this kit works either way. Install video attached. If you have the underbed hitch prep you would just need the Curt Gooseneck Ball part # C60601.

view full answer... - Troubleshooting Removing Rusted Curt Pop-in Gooseneck BallYou'll need to use a ton of WD-40 to try and break up that rust so that the lever can be lifted. Once you get it up if it's still hard to remove try hooking up to your trailer and use the jacks of it to pull up on the ball.

The Demco Recon can be broken down into two parts for removal, the head which weighs around 40 lbs and the base which weighs around 75 lbs.
view full answer... - Recommended Ball and Safety Chain Loops Kit for the Ford Prep Package and a Anderson Ultimate Hitch The gooseneck ball that came with the B&W Ball and Safety Chain Kit item # BWGNXA2061 is too tall. You will need to use the Curt Pop-In Ball item # C60601 instead. I have linked a diagram below that will show you the dimensions. It does come in a complete kit with safety chains Item # C60618. I didn't see your order number so I am not sure if you are able to return yours for something that will work.
