• Correct Demco 5th Wheel Rail Adapter for 2017 GMC Sierra 3500HD with 8 Foot Bed
• The correct Demco 5th Wheel Adapter for your 2017 GMC Sierra 3500HD with the 8 foot bed is the part # DM6206. This will drop right into the factory pucks on your truck bed to provide industry standard rails that are compatible with most 5th wheel hitches on the market. The Demco Adapter # DM6194 that you referenced is only a fit for the 2017 Sierra that has the shorter 6-1/2 foot bed. The puck configurations on the two bed sizes are just a tad different requiring different adapter designs.

• Can E-Track be Driven Over and be Used to Secure Vehicle Tire To
• E-track can be driven over and it will be fine. It would not collapse or otherwise damage itself. You could use and drive over the Erickson Horizontal E-Track # EM19147. Then for a wheel strap the Erickson E-Track Wheel Tie-Down Strap with Roller Idler and Ratchet # EM58523 would work well. I attached a picture of a wheel and tire secured to this track for more info as well.

• Can Curt CrossWing 5th Wheel Hitch be Used With Turning Point Pin Box
• You'll need a wedge, but the Turning Point pin box is compatible with the Curt CrossWing Lightweight 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C86JR. What you'll need is the Wedge for Curt CrossWing 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C85DR. This will bolt onto the Turning Point pin box to prevent the king pin from rotating inside the hitch. So they are completely compatible, and since you have the puck system in your 2022 GMC Sierra 3500, to mount the CrossWing you'll just need the Adapter Rails # C88KR.

• Maintenance Required for Sidewinder Pin Box Replacements
• Reese recommends that to maintain easy hookup you frequently lubricate the wedge surfaces, back side of the king pin, and the skid plate surface. The bearing surfaces of the # RP34FR sidewinder arm can also be lubricated if stiff, using white lithium grease. Never use a lube plate with a Sidewinder. Page 4 of the linked instructions illustrates the lubrication points. I have also linked a brief article concerning Sidewinder lubrication.
