Ian with etrailer here. Looking forward to bringing you the B&W Turnover gooseneck ball on our 2024 Chevrolet 2500. Let's get into a couple features, and then that install. This kit's gonna allow you to have that gooseneck in the back of your vehicle, and be able to hide that ball when not in use, so you still have access to the full bed space area. And even with it all living under the bed and being bolted to the frame, we're still gonna be boasting 30,000 pounds for that gross trailer weight rating, and 7,500 for the tongue weight rating. This kit's also gonna feature some hidden safety chain loops that are retained by some springs there on the bottom of the bed.
Nice big loops that you'll be able to get any type of safety chain you've got on there, whether it be the S-binder or those clevis-style. Now I'm gonna walk you through the entire process for the install of this, but if you happen to watch the video and find that it may be a little too complicated, and I will say, getting into the install myself, accessing some of that hardware can be extremely difficult. And if you're trying to do this by yourself, I definitely wouldn't recommend it. Try to get at least a friend if you're gonna attempt this. And if it is something you want to try to tackle, just stick around for the video, otherwise, go ahead and check out our dealer locator there on the website.
We'll be able to get you a trained professional that can help get this installed on your vehicle. Now to get our installation going, we're gonna come to the rear of the vehicle where we're gonna remove that spare tire, and then we're gonna focus on the heat shield. There's gonna be two bolts that hold that in place here on the backside, towards the exhaust. They are both 13 millimeter. (metal clanking) Then we'll set that aside for reinstallation later.
Now we need to get the measurement for the four inch hole that we're gonna be putting in the bed. So we'll start by following the instructions. If you've got the eight foot bed, the measurement's gonna be a little different, and so we will need to compensate for the bedliner. And I wanted to show down here on your tape measure, your end should move a little bit, and there's gonna be a gap between that. That's gonna be normally to compensate for the saw that you'd be cutting with, and is the thickness of a table saw blade.
So make sure you are paying attention to that 1/16 of an inch, if not maybe 1/8 of an inch, that you'll get from the bedliner as well, when you're measuring that out. And then measuring between the two wheel wells here. And so we'll take half of that. I've got that marked just with a small dot, so we know where to set the drill bit. You will wanna check under the bed, make sure there are no obstructions on the way down. We wouldn't want to hit any lines or fuel tank, or anything like that. So just double-check you've got clearance. And once you do that, your hole saws are normally gonna have a larger bit in the center. I like to run a smaller pilot bit through our hole. These can walk on you, and if it does, that 1/8 inch of a difference that it may walk, may completely throw the alignment off, and then you've got a whole new situation to deal with. So I'm gonna run a small pilot bit first, and then our four inch hole saw after. (drill whirring) Now I'm gonna come back through with a rounded file, just clean up any abrasive edges there that would maybe cut or catch on something. And then once I've got that cleaned up with our file, I'm gonna come back with a paint pen. And you'll see there's quite a bit of exposed metal now. I do wanna cover that all back up with paint, so that way there isn't any premature corrosion or wear on the bed, caused by the upgrade that we're doing to the vehicle here. Now we're gonna do the same thing on both sides for this particular step, but we're coming to the fender wells where we will need to take out these T-15 bits to remove the liners. So just work all of those out one by one. And once we've got that, we'll pull those fender liners outta the way to access the frame. (tool whirring) And it looks like once you've got all of the ones on the back side of the wall out, you can peel that back enough to where we can access the frame. There are some threaded holes on
