Hello All
FYI pertaining to Gooseneck Hitch - CODY - Great design My Notes to follow: For documented reference while its fresh in my mind -After considerable research -Reviewing many Gooseneck hitches for Ford F250 FX4 Model Yr 2006 – Regular Cab Long Bed -Was leaning towards B&W turnoverball until it appeared that the Release latch under fender well would interfere with my PacBrake air bags Send e-mails to B&W + PacBrake but didn’t get a response that was satisfactory -- both stated not certain if compatible B&W Custom Truck Beds, Inc. PacBrake - Exhaust and Engine Brakes for Automotive, Motorhome, Medium Duty and Heavy Duty Vehicles - -So continued on with my search -Came across the CODY Gooseneck Hitch during my search via Dogpile Web Search Home Page htttp://www.google.com -CODY has a Great design that eliminates the latch under fender well -Release & Ball is all contained within the Truck Bed -Plus it’s a see thru hole, doesn’t capture dirt, doesn’t freeze up, and no latch mechanism under truck to rust etc -As part of CODY installation kit, a pilot tool is provided -After hitch is 100% mounted / bolted and centered as required -From underneath truck insert pilot tool into gooseneck hole, drill up thru bed -Now you have an Exact pilot hole for reference inside bed -Now drill your final Hole using pilot hole in bed as reference -Everything matches exactly -No measuring and hoping for the best as is the case on other Hidden hitch solutions / turn over ball FIVE main reasons I selected CODY 1) It was a hidden hitch / turn over ball / when not in use flat bed full use of 2) NO drill into Truck Frame adapter plates 3) DIY installation practices - saving me big bucks 4) Didn’t interfere with PacBrake air Bags already installed 5) Heavy duty construction Rated at 35,000 Lbs GVW 7500 Lbs Gross Tongue weight Numerous web sites / dealers selling the CODY Gooseneck Hitch -Once I decided on the CODY Gooseneck -Then went into the mode of searching for BEST price -Again used Dogpile and Google -Came across Web dealer thecodyhitch.com -Called and spoke with Dale Tel # (580)272-6803 -New 2008 pricing for Cody Hitch = $ 369. -New 2008 pricing for NO drill adapter plate for my Truck = $ 45. -New 2008 pricing for Cody cushion = $ 449 -NO Tax on all -FREE ship on all Three Items in total pending shipment as follows: 1) Extra Heavy Duty CODY Universal Gooseneck Hitch – Part # A050 2) NO Drill adapter plate for Ford F250 my model Year of 2006 3) Cody Cushion Received all Three items via UPS on August 18th 2008 ( Monday ) -Inventoried all items Installation went as planned this evening - Aug 20, 2008 ( Wednesday ) -A great gooseneck hitch heavy duty without doubt in my humble viewpoint -Easy install -All brackets for lowering the Diesel exhaust so no interference with Gooseneck hitch -High quality bolts -I also would highly recommend the no drill kit especially if you either have Air bags or plan to ADD them in future NOTE: I did have to drill TWO holes on each side of truck thru PacBrake bracket then thru CODY Adapter plate -Hope this helps a bit Good evening to all John from Colfax NC |
