This is the clearance I have with the four section Bakflip MX-4.

AH64ID, I agree that ambient temperature changes will require adding more air, just like the tires. I have experienced a couple of times where under extreme breaking where the pressure relief valve lets out some air. The beauty of the GooseBox is that as more pin weight is added, the air bag...

I, personally, would rather error on the side of caution, rather than suddenly having to find a safe place to change a fuel filter. I had it happen to me and managed to limp to a truck stop to get a new filter installed. After that episode, I carried a spare filter and the tools to change it...

Just be aware that pin weights aren’t an exact number. I’m not for sure about what GD or Alliance lists for their pin weights but some companies list the dry weight, not loaded weight.

I had it on my last truck, which I had for a couple of years. I wasn’t impressed with it. it wasn’t built for heavy items.

I used a B&W Companion hitch for a number of years. I turned the arms around which moved the hitch back about 3. If I remember correctly, that took somewhere around 100lbs. off the front axle. With the front axle weighting about 5K, that’s only moving about 2% of the weight off the front axle...

There is an important distinction to be made between gooseneck adapters that fasten to the pinbox, and gooseball conversion pinboxes like the Reese GooseBox and the Gen-Y. The adapters have been known to cause damage to pinboxes or trailer frames.

yes, that’s at the rear and I’ll take it.

Actually, according to the tape measure, using alt height mode does give me more clearance. Not a lot more, measured 1/2”. But I’ll take whatever I can get.

If you use the alt height position, that will give you a little more clearance. No, I haven’t measured what the difference is.

I’ve got a GooseBox on my 5th wheel since ‘18 and pulled it about 30K miles. I’m pleased with the GooseBox. The problem with needing to release air to unhitch, is not a very common problem. I’ve hitched and unhitched dozens of times without any problems.

Lippert does not own Reese. Reese is owned by a totally different company. Lippert does have a marketing agreement with Reese to be the exclusive distributor of the GooseBox.

I have a Bakflip MX4 on my 2019 Ram 3500 cc sb. It has four sections and folded up against the rear window, only partly covers the bed camera. My guess is that a three section on a short bed would totally cover the camera and a four section on a long bed would also cover the camera.

I haven’t used the automatic feature for quite awhile, but as I recall, when in automatic mode the exhaust brake when coasting like down hill, the exhaust brake engages any time the vehicle speed gets up to the speed when you hit the brake pedal. It worked great on long down hill grades where...

I live in the same area as you. I never worry about using additive. The fuel suppliers in that part of the world do an excellent job of making sure that gelling won’t be an issue.

I have the 6’ 4” bed.

I leave mine partially down.

It looks like Y78 is is for the fuel pump.

I have a ‘19 Ram 3500 cc sb and have a four section Bakflip MX4 tonneau cover. When turned about as far as I want to, there is still some clearance between the back of the Goosebox and the tonneau rails. Is there a chance of hitting the rail? Yes, there is. Ive been towing with sb trucks and the...
