Yes, Demco does have the 21K Autoslide # DM89GV as well as an 18K Autoslide # DM69GV that will fit the factory prep/puck system in a Ram 2500 or 3500 pickup. If you have one of the following pin boxes you will also need the corresponding accessory to prevent the pin box from moving inside the Demco head.

MOR/ryde Pin Boxes # DM6025
Lippert Rhino Pin Boxes # DM76FR
Extended 5th Airborne Pin Boxes # DM6062
Standard 5th Airborne Pin Boxes # DM6026
Demco Glide Ride Pin Boxes # DM6036
Lippert Turning Point and 5th Airborne Pin Boxes # DM77GV
Trailair Tri-Glide Pin Boxes # DM6095
