Gooseneck Trailer Hitch Installation - 2012 Ford F-350 4448- Video
Today on our 2012 Ford F350 we're going to be installing the Draw-Tite Hide-A-Goose 30K Gooseneck Head, part number 9460 in conjunction with the Gooseneck Mounting Kit, part number 4448. Now we've already gone ahead and removed the spare tire from the vehicle so our next step will be to remove the exhaust. We'll need to unbolt the hangers from the frame of the truck as we'll need to install hanger extensions before reinstalling our exhaust we'll undo the rear hanger here undoing the 1/10-mm bolt on the bottom side of the frame as well as the 10-mm bolt on the inside of the frame rail. We can then move forward on the truck and undo the two 13-mm nuts holding that hanger in place. They do face up towards the bed of the truck. It is quite a tight fit to get those undone. more

Gooseneck Trailer Hitch Installation - 2011 GMC Sierra C60604- Video
Today on our 2011 GMC Sierra 2500, were going to be installing the Curt Gooseneck Hitch, part number C60604. Now, weve already gone ahead and removed the spare tire and exhaust from the vehicle to give us a little more room for working. Our first step will be to cut the heat shield as it will be in the way for our install kit. Ive already marked where were gonna be cutting at these lines here and here. To cut the heat shield, well be using a grinder fitted with a cutting wheel. If you dont have this, a pair of thin snaps and a little patience will suffice. more

Gooseneck Trailer Hitch Installation - 2006 GMC Sierra- Video
Today we are going to be installing Hide-a-Goose part number 9465-4434 on a 2006 GMC Sierra 2500. The first thing we want to do is to go ahead and lower the spare tire. That will give us a lot more room to install the gooseneck system. The second step is to go ahead and cut out a section of the heat shield, which is basically forward of the axle in between the two hat channels, which is basically parallel to the gas tank as well. We need to go ahead and cut that section out to allow us to get the crossmembers into place. OK, with that section of the heat shield removed, we want to next go inside the bed. And we are going to go ahead and mark and then drill our hole for the opening in the Hide-a-Goose system. You want to check with your directions to verify the appropriate dimension that you are going to be drilling from. On this particular short-bed model, we are going to go ahead and mark from the end of the bed at 44-1/2 inches, and then we just want to center that in between the two wheel wells, which will land us right in the center of this rib here. And with my dimensions marked out, I am just going to go ahead and center punch that location, and then we are going to go ahead and drill out our 3-1/2 inch hole. more

Gooseneck Trailer Hitch Installation - 2005 GMC Sierra- Video
Today we are going to install part number 9465 our gooseneck head assembly. We will also be installing a rail kit which is part number 4434 for our 2005 GMC Sierra pickup 3500. The first step involved would be to make room for the install kit and rails. What happens is this heat shield needs to be removed. We are going to take it out from this section to this beam here. To make it easier maybe go all the way this far back. But for necessity purposes we need from here to here for the rails. We cut out our heat shield and left an inch or so hanging off. We took a rubber mallet and beat it back and keep it away from the sharp edges as much as possible. Our next step will be to loosen the bed so we can slide the rails underneath the truck. There are 2 options on how you will do this part. more
