Expert Answers about Chevrolet Gooseneck Coupler
- Could Curt Tri-Ball Trailer Coupler Lock Fit Gooseneck Coupler
- While the 2-5/16 inch ball of the # C48CR would fit into a gooseneck coupler the pin portion would not have a place to insert to lock it. You'd want a gooseneck coupler lock like the EZ Lock Gooseneck Coupler Lock part # BLTL-53-40D2 which fits most couplers like Bulldog, Stallion, Superior, and T.E.M.

- Gooseneck coupler # BD0289500300 is installed by welding it, using gussets, directly to a trailer with no existing coupler or fifth wheel attachment. This coupler is not a 5th-wheel to gooseneck adapter, but a coupler meant to be installed on a naked trailer.
If you have an existing 5th-wheel kin pin on your trailer, a better choice for you would be to use a 5th-wheel to gooseneck adapter like # CAB-C5G. Using this adapter would be the easiest way to equip your current fifth wheel trailer...

- The Ram Gooseneck Coupler part # GCPN-30008 gets welded on the trailer and then attaches to the gooseneck hitch ball in the bed of your 2017 Ram 3500. You will want to use the adjustment holes on the coupler to try and get the trailer as level to the tow vehicle as possible. Once this is done you can then pull the spring pin on the coupler to secure it to the hitch ball in the bed. After the coupler is securely seated on the hitch ball you can then attach the safety chains and wiring. Then...

- You will most likely want to install a coupler with an outer and inner tube, like the Pro Series Gooseneck Coupler, item # PS0287790300 on your trailer. The installation of this type of coupler gives you the ability to tow the gooseneck trailer with different height vehicles and will not cost any more than just welding the tube in place.
All of the replacement gooseneck couplers that we carry are designed to be welded in place by a qualified weldor. A local welding shop should have no...

- The Convert-A-Ball Multi-Cushioned Gooseneck Trailer Coupler # CG is the inner tube only for a gooseneck coupler. It would slide up into the outer tube and would be held in place with set screws. This particular model has a 4 inch tube diameter so the outer tube hole would have to be slightly larger to accept the inner tube.
We do have other gooseneck couplers depending on what your trailer needs. I have included a link to them for you to view.

- Basically, the Gooseneck Trailer Lock, # BLTL-50-40D, sandwiches around the bottom of the gooseneck coupler on the trailer. The two hooks that look like duck heads go over the lip on one side and then you hold it up flat against the bottom of the coupler, and then you insert the pin that will be over the lip on the other side of the coupler.

- When installing the Bulldog Gooseneck Coupler Head, part # BDGN240200, you will place the flat side toward the trailer and the handle should be on the driver side.

view full answer... - Will the B&W Extend-A-Goose Gooseneck Coupler Change Tongue Weight
- The tongue weight of your trailer or weight on the rear axle will not change substantially when using the B&W Extend-A-Goose Gooseneck Coupler part # BWTEXA4200. The only way that your tongue weight would change is if the weight of the new coupler (55 lbs) was more than that of the old coupler you replaced it with. I confirmed this with my contact at B&W.
view full answer... - What is Gooseneck Trailer Coupler Overhang and Clearance Needed
- In regards to a gooseneck trailer, the coupler overhang is essentially the "neck" of the gooseneck.
To make sure you have enough clearance to go over road bumps and make sharp turns, you want to have at least 6 inches between the overhang of your gooseneck trailer and the bed rails of your truck. This is measured from the bottom of the overhang to the top of your truck's bed rails, as shown in the attached photo.
view full answer... - How Does the Ram Gooseneck to 5th Wheel Trailer Coupler Adapter Work
- I am not sure I understand what you are asking. The Ram Gooseneck to 5th Wheel Trailer Coupler Adapter part # KPG5-R30 installs on the trailer, not the tow vehicle. It is designed to replace the gooseneck coupler on the trailer and allow for connection to a 5th wheel hitch as opposed to connection with a gooseneck hitch ball. The old coupler will need to be cut off and the new outer tube will need to be welded on the trailer by a professional welder. The inner tube will then slide in the...

- When installing the Ram Gooseneck Coupler w/ Load Bearing Pin - 8" Adjustment - Square - 2-5/16" Ball - 25K # GCSQ-25008 or any square tube coupler, usually the outer tube is welded on so that the set screws face forward, which puts the latch at a 45 degree angle forward of the drivers side

- The Convert-A-Ball Multi-Cushioned Gooseneck Trailer Coupler - Round - 30,000 lbs # CG doesn't have a specific torque spec because it is just the inner sleeve. The set bolt torque spec you need would be based on the outer sleeve with the bolts. Based on similar goosenecks this would be in the neighborhood of 125 ft lbs but I can't give you anything specific from the manufacturer.

view full answer... - Can the Convert-A-Ball Multi-Cushioned Gooseneck Trailer Coupler Be Drilled for Pins
- The Convert-A-Ball Multi-Cushioned Gooseneck Trailer Coupler part # CG is designed to be used with set screws, we cannot recommend you drill to use a pin. That said, it will still work on an inner tube with pre-drilled holes for the pins so there won't be an issue. If you prefer the pin style I have attached a list of other options below
view full answer... - Is It Ok For The B&W Extend-A-Goose Gooseneck Coupler To Sit Slightly Crooked Once Installed
- As the B&W Extend-A-Goose Gooseneck Coupler # BWTEXA4200 is a universal coupler, it has to be able to work with different trailers. This means the adjustment holes are offset a little and can cause the coupler to sit a little crooked once installed. This is perfectly normal and, though hard to see, I included an install/review video where this is also happening.
With that being said, if it is severely crooked, you can drill a new hole in the outer sleeve (not the # BWTEXA4200) to get the...

view full answer... - Does Ram Gooseneck to 5th Wheel Adapter KPG5-R30 Require Professional Welding

The Ram Gooseneck to 5th Wheel Trailer Coupler Adapter # KPG5-R30 you referenced includes both the inner and the outer tubes, ideal for people needing to replace a damaged coupler or for someone looking to fabricate a trailer without an existing coupler.
It sound like all you actually need is the Ram Gooseneck to 5th Wheel Trailer Coupler Adapter # KPG5-R30IP, which...
