Expert Answers about GMC Gooseneck Trailer Locks


  • Will the Master Lock Trailer Coupler Lock ML389DAT DEMCO EZ Latch 2-5/16 Ball & Gooseneck Coupler?
  • Yes, and no but I have one that'll do both. The Master Lock Trailer Coupler Lock item # ML389DAT you were looking at will fit a Demco A-Frame Coupler with EZ Latch item # 12660-97SP but not gooseneck couplers. For a coupler lock that does both you'll need the InfiniteRule Lock for Demco eZ-Latch Trailer Couplers item # IR66FR.

  • Recommended Coupler Lock for a Gen-Y Auto Latch Gooseneck Pin Box
  • Gen-Y makes a lock specifically for their 5th wheel to gooseneck pin boxes like item # GY58GR with the auto latch. I highly recommend this lock because it is custom made for your pin box. It is the Gen-Y Auto Latch Gooseneck Coupler Lock item # 325-GH-7111. This heavy duty lock is made of steel and manufactured here in the USA. I have linked a review video below so you can see all of the functions and how to get it set up.

  • Recommended 5th Wheel Hitch for a Curt Underbed Gooseneck Hitch
  • B&W does not but I have something that is comparable. B&W's Turnoverball systems and their Companion hitches work exclusively with each other and are not compatible with other gooseneck hitches like your Curt item # C611-624 or item # C607-604. They have a square receiver over a circular one. To connect a 5th wheel hitch to the Curt gooseneck ball in your 2016 Chevy Silverado 2500, I recommend the Demco Recon Gooseneck-to-5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter item # DM8550045. This 5th wheel...

  • The distance from the center of the gooseneck ball coupler to the edge of the locking mechanism on the Convert-A-Ball Gooseneck Adapter # CAB-C5GX1216 is 5-1/2". In other words, if you measure out 5-1/2" from the center of your gooseneck ball on your CM Flatbed that would be the space you need for it to clear the edges.

  • Can a Convert-A-Ball Adapter Be Used w/ a Locked Out RotaFlex Pin Box?
  • Yes, so long as you lock out the motion and isolate the king pin on the RotaFlex you can use the Convert-A-Ball Cushioned 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Adapter item # CAB-C5G. It looks like the Ultimate Connection Rota-Flex Lockout Kit does this for use with Anderson hitches so this should work for an gooseneck adapter as well. I have linked a review video below. This set up will likely void any warranties on your trailer. If you are concerned about this I recommend replacing your RotaFlex...
