There unfortunately isn't a guide that lists the bolt pattern for your 2024 Alliance Paradigm 310's pin box so you'll need to look and see if there's any stickers on it that list the bolt pattern or show the RPO #, Serial #, or LCI #. If you don't have this sticker then you'll need to use the attached help article below to measure for the pattern.
Next you'll want to get an accurate tongue weight measurement for your trailer. For this, I recommend fully loading your trailer like you were going on a trip and take the trailer to a highway weigh station. You'll drive up onto the scale so that only the truck's wheels are on the scale. Once you get this measurement you can disconnect from the trailer and measure again, the difference will be your tongue weight. From there we can then look at the tongue weight chart from Gen-Y to determine the correct replacement.
For example, the Gen-Y Hitch 5th Wheel to Gooseneck Pin Box # GY58GR fits a 1621 bolt pattern and has a pin/tongue weight range of 1,500lbs - 3,500lbs.
