Just a little tip from a fitter. Always drill your pilot hole first,then install the hole saw. It will stop that poke through catch it does and won’t break the bits too. Also, always keep the handle on the drill to help hold it for leverage. Awesome video bud…..👍🏼
Another tip to prevent the hole saw from walking, make sure your pilot bit is at least an inch or so longer than the hole saw. Great video as always Aaron!
Good idea to install the airbags at this point if you have the bed off. A lot easier than from under the truck. A much more comfortable towing experience with a fifth wheel.
Amen! Just put my air ride on and wow what a difference.
I hated my air bags in the two trucks I had them in, every bump seemed amplified x 10. I switched to Timbrens and loved them.
If you deflate them when not under heavy use you don't even notice they are there.
@@mariobrothers8348 Yeah I didnt have the ones you can deflate all the way and had to keep 5, maybe 10 psi in them all the time. They do have their benefits, I just didnt like them.
Best trick an old timer showed me on this job… drill holes in a piece of 3/4 plywood with the hole saws to create a drill guide… line her up and send it… no risk of the saw skipping around and messing up the sheet metal. I keep my jig hanging on the tool box, use it several times a year . Great work sir!!
Nice tip
Great stuff as always! I did mine in 6 hours with my 13 year old!. I took out all the bed bolts and lifted one side while kid put in 2 4x4 wood blocks in the front and rear on the frame and repeated on the other side. went pretty slick. Thanks for all your vids and what you do bro!✌
Hell yeah
Wife and I did this to mine last weekend, took 3 hours used a tractor with forks to pull the bed, used the box link cleats and some ratchet straps came of nice and easy
GREAT IDEA on the box link cleats man. Thanks for that. Really awesome what you can learn from comment section!
I had no clue how to do this but after watching your so very very very detailed video, I now think I can Fly!
Better yet, the student has become the Master! LOL!!! Thank you so very much! I am your newest subscriber!
Dude, thanks buddy. We appreciated your comment.
I installed mine on my 2019 F250 back in 2020 . At the time my 11 year old grandson helped. I lifted the body one side at a time and he put 4x4 blocks between body and frame . Took me about 6 hours but I work slow . The factory 5th wheel prep by Ford is build like a tank , I would definitely do again if I had to . Great video , wish it was posted when I did mine .
Yoooo love the videos but just as a tip hole sawing in general for your initial pilot hole pilot run the drill without hole saw that way you don’t have that initial aggrieved grab because you can bend or snap the pilot off, this way you’ve got your pilot hole done nice and easy then after that bring the hole saw equip on arbor and now our pilot is just guiding it nicely, great install tho!
I have the B/W gooseneck hitch. And my truck came with the 7 pin 4 pin combo on bumper. And 7 pin in the bed. Both of them works great.
A bigger D handle drill with a screw in handle helps a lot to control a big hole saw no matter the material you are drilling. Feed pressure and speed matter. You were getting the metal "twirls" which tells you got it right... Nice job!
I use hole saws in aluminum sheet frequently at work. There's no substitute for using a little machining coolant to keep the saw running smooth and control the grabbing.
I like
Butt butter
When my buddies installed their hitches they had to drill each other’s truck they couldn’t bear to do their own😂🤣😂🤣
Now thats funny shit
haha...haha...haha...@@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod
Doing mine next week. Thanks for the info, should be a big help. 👍
So I drilled all holes in my truck bed this morning. Be careful when drilling the front left one the wiring harness is right below and quite close.
Just finished doing the install, everything went smoothly about 2hrs time from taking the box off to putting it back on.
So just a quick tip when putting the plastic beauty rings on put them in hot water for awhile and they are way easier to get on.
Glad mine was already installed from the factory on my 450 .
Great video PTT! I wish it was about 2 years ago lol. I was contemplating doing it my self, but I found a hitch/truck store that did it for me. Glad I went that route, I think they under charged me with the time and body’s they had working on it. But with your video it sure build confidence for a good DIY’r. Can’t thank you enough for what you do brother. Sure wish I was closer to where your dealership ship is. It’s got to have one of the best shop ratings in the country. I’ll come see ya sometime.
Come thru pal, ill give it some PTT ❤️
Finally I see how the plastic O-ring covers are suppose to works.
Video made me a nervous wreck..lol. finish product looks excellent! Nice work!
Nice bro, I have my prep kit Glad you made this video 👍 I’m sure my 2 boys are going to enjoy helping there Dad install it🤣🤣
Came within 2 weeks of buying a 5th wheel and having to do this, but found a trailer at the last moment so didn’t have to after all. Awesome video in case I upgrade again though. Thanks.
I did this to my 2020 in my Driveway… Had a few o-shiz moments, but everything worked out perfectly. That bed is aluminum, but it is still heavy - had 2 guys, should have had 4 or a hoist to lift it.
Use just a 1/4 bit to drill a hole first. That will save you using the hole saw bit going though and grabbing the saw. You have a chance when it grabs bending or breaking the bit.
one of your best videos, awesome work!!
Cmon
I keep a little mounding clay handy for drill through sheet metal, create a dam around the area and put some water solvable oil to keep the hole-saw cool and extending the life.
After trying an aftermarket hitch that I hated and returned I got my OEM hitch from an upfitter that was reselling the takeoff hitches. Got the bed wiring harness from a dealer and installed it all. The hitch was short 4 bolts so I had to source them from Fastenal otherwise a relatively smooth install.
I did have to make my own trim ring to fix the hole from the aftermarket hitch that I tried. It needed a larger center hole so I made an aluminum ring to bring it back down to the right size.
I was waiting for the "whatever whatever" 🤣🤣🤣🤣
....well let me ask you this....🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂
@@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod 🤣🤣
so nice so Beautiful Super Duty and you Aaron do an amazing work
I was going to suggest you do a video on this... You must read my mind!
Get video ARod, but my 16 came with the 5th wheel and sprayed in liner. If my truck didn't come with it, I would of did it. Thanks for sharing ARod
My Ford dealer didn't want to mess installing the Ford system so I ended up buying a B&W gooseneck hitch and installed it myself. I will be ordering the hitch pre installed on my next truck.
Thats some bs, wonder why they told you to take a walk
@@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod I think it was more work than they wanted to tackle. Ended up saving me hundreds.
Drill the holes with a slight angle on the hole saw to prevent it from biting in and jumping
Another awesome install.
Yooooo
Great video brotatochip
C u tonight
Not sure if anyone else said this in comments. But when drilling those big holes in metal. Drill center hole with normal drill bit. Then put hole saw on there and put it In reverse at first. This scores the metal and helps stop it from walking on you.
Yepp they did
As I waited for my F450 order, a salesman offered me a F350 but it had no 5th wheel prep package. They Quoted me 3700 for the Ford hitch and the ford prep kit installed. I would have ended up doing in the way AROd did. The f450 build date is Week of the 12th of September and It has the prep package and the 5th wheel hitch.
The factory kit is Known to be better than BW's offerings
Wasn’t the prep pkg like 250 or 500$ from factory?
@@landondc4739 correct, well worth 500ish. I have had it in my F450 for a year now and worked well with my 5th wheel
FYI - If your customers want to have the factory 7-pin/12-pin connector that is used for Ford factory trailer TPMS, yaw sensor or rear camera, you will need this P/N: LC3Z-13A576-F. Replaces the 7-pin connector shown on rear driver side, inside the bed.
Thanks buddy!!!
use painter's tape on the bed when your using the hole-saw.
Yes sir!!! That’s nice! 💪🏼💪🏼
Before you screw on the holesaw you should just drill through with a pilot drill it’s much easier to get your hole in exactly the right spotAnd then have that holesaw spinning at speed it will cut by itself you don’t have to push really hard And yes two hands it’s really easy mess up your thumb or your fingers if it stops on a dime.
Nice set up. I wound up with a B&G on mine.
Never did the factory unit but did the B&W hitch for my 5th wheel
Try some blue tape where you’re drilling along with some cutting oil on the aluminum. A longer stick out on pilot bit helps too. Just some feedback.
Take the hole saw off and drill just the 1/4 pilot hole first...Then start the hole saw in reverse a couple turns then go to forward....
Great instructional video!
PSA: This kit is straight money. The Reese hitches lock right in, and the goose ball is detent based and slips right on in.
Just something I noticed when I did mine and now after watching your video as well is that the hitch seems like it’s about a quarter inch offset of center of the holes to the passenger side of the truck. Also left everything loose and dry fit before torquing everything to spec just like you did
Got to get the goods to set up for the long haul.
Great video
Got a build date for the end of next month then will be installing 5WP and bedliner.
I did this on my 2015 F250 (SteelDuty) Looks so much easier with the alumaDuty
Just a quick question.
What are the part #'s from Ford for the hitch & harness.
I went the old way (rails in bed)..."El cheapo" here🤪🥴...later👍💪💯
Had mine done also and the rubber rings keep coming off due to the bed being line x.
I went turn over ball but need the bed plug. Would really like the raptor trailer plug/110v power outlet combo box. Not sure how or if it will work though.
Yea gonna b a tuffy
A 6.7 gasser with a 5th wheel...good luck, my 16 F250 was a 6.7 gasser and towed a 36ft, probably 9600lb travel trailer and averaged about 5-6mpg.
7.3......
@@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod I thought you said a 6.7 in the beginning,
Naw
Why do you prefer dielectric grease over dielectric silicone. Wouldn't the grease get contaminated easier from moisture?
I haven't had an issue using ford xl12
@@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod Thank you. Awesome video BTW. I have a Race Red '18 that I'm about to start this job! Perfect timing 👌
Unfortunately the Ford dealerships in my area (FL.) if they have them are holding onto the oem prep hitches and installing them on the super dutys that were ordered thru their dealerships. My dealership just told me 4-5 week maybe more of a wait and I would pay for shipping. Just ordered a B&W thru e trailer since I need it now.
Wow!
Wanted that option, most likely will leave it to the stealership. I wouldn't want to mess the bed up.
I got chu
What I would like to know is where can I get the 12 pin bed socket and plate to replace the 7 pin only so I can use the trailer camera/TPMS system. The kit includes the bumper socket only which is no use when towing a 5th wheel.
Hmmm
Run the whole saw backward until it starts the cut all the way around. Than go forward. Keeps it from bucking out so bad
Great video I plan on doing this soon any tips or tricks for a truck that already has a spray in liner??
Id get a sharp exacto & trim around them bolts if they were sprayed over
Nice job, want to do my 18 f350
When u comin thru
I live in N Idaho
Ok, no biggie
Very nice. Same steps I'm assuming for the 23 Superduty??
Did u watch the video
@@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod yes. Did I miss where you said it would work?? The only year I remember hearing is the truck you're working on is a 22 7.3.
This video was about the 5th wheel prep Install it had nothing to do with the fat man step
@@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod yup. Haha. I think we're reading things wrong... I'm talking about the install of the 5th wheel prep on a 23 Superduty. Are the steps/instructions for installation of the 5th wheel prep the same on a 23 Superduty as you did on a 22 Superduty... That was my original question. Sorry for the confusion.
Even though that’s not a 6.7, can that truck tow with a basic Superduty rear leaf package and only a 10.5 Sterling?
Yesir
You have any info on the in bed harness that works with the Pro Trailer Backup Assist? It has a second plug below the trailer light plug that works with the yaw sensor, camera, etc. I have a truck coming but did not order the 5th Wheel Prep Package as I was told it was a constrained item. Would really like to have all the correct harness for the Pro Trailer Backup Assist but can't find the part numbers. Also, a video on the Pro Trailer Backup Assist and how to hookup all the accessories that work with it might be cool. Can't seem to find much info about what comes with the truck and what you have to buy extra.
Watch our pro trailer video we did a yr agao
P/N: LC3Z-13A576-F. I was in the same boat. Left off the prep package to ensure a shorter delivery time (4 months in the end) My dealer had a prep package ready for install when the truck was delivered. It only had the 7 PIN socket; the 7/12 was on backorder. So two months later the part arrived and the y installed it today. Now if I could only find a yaw sensor I would be in heaven, but they are rare as hens teeth.
Rod Stephens, thanks for the help. I had found a very similar part number (L3CT instead of Z) in a picture on the internet but the dealer couldn’t find anything with it. Yesterday I stumbled upon a set of instructions under accessories on Ford’s website. The part number on those instructions is SKLC3J-15A416-AA. Went to my local dealer today and he also told me it was back ordered. He said he thought 7-10 days so I went ahead and ordered it. Hopefully it won’t be 2 months like yours. Also, the part number on the invoice was slightly different again…LC3Z-15A416-B. Not sure which part number is actually right, but good to know the parts are out there.

@@jonathanbaum9190 so what is the part number for the correct harness that integrates with pro trailer?
So what's the advantage of the OEM kit vs like the BW? Doesn't the BW do both 5th wheel and a gooseneck?
I've had both. With the B&W turnover ball, you obstruct the Shock mount bolt on one side. So if you plan to upgrade shocks do that first. Otherwise it is 3hrs of swearing and deconstruction/reconstruction to swap them. 2nd the B&W hitch that mounts in the turnover ball hitch is significantly heavier than the puck mount equivalent. It has a max 20k rating. The puck version comes in either 20k or 25k (for those that like overengineering). As for Goosenecking, yes the turnoverball has you set to go. OEM you need to purchase the ball and chain mounts.
👍
Wasn't there a recall on the factory fifth wheel gooseneck setup at some point? Does this setup have any updates addressed by the recall?
Recall, no
Any suggestions for how to reinstall my drop-in bed liner after installing this 5th wheel system? I guess I could cut holes in my drop-in liner, but I'm afraid that dirt would constantly get into those holes.
The drop in is no longer used. Ud have to get a spray in, unless ya had the rail type bed 5th setup
Why can't I save the video for future reference or later playback...
Check ur YT settings. I have no effect on that
18:50 you've done way too many upper oil pans 😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
Will I lose my bumper pull connectivity if I do this? Thx
Lol, did you watch the video.....?
@@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod Did I miss it?? I guess I'll have to watch the whole thing again...
Goto where i hooked the wiring up you'll see what it does
Can you do one for f250/f350 trucks with no foglight what to do or to get
What do u want us to do??
@@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod how to install foglight
I have a 2020 f350 STX that doesn’t have foglight, what do I need to get to be able to install a Oem foglight, foglight bumper.
Ahhhhhhhhhh i understand now
@@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod thanks kp up the awesome content.
Pppppreciate chu
Are the bed bolts reusable
Kit didnt come with new, so i reused
👍🏻

Did they buy it off the lot then? It’s pretty well worth it to order one and have it built that way right.
He had to delete it cuz production wld have halted
@@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod that stinks big time
