B&w goosneck won't fit

Post by redneck1 » Sun Sep 27, 2015 9:51 pm

Hello, I bought a b&w goosneck for my 13 power wagon and the side brackets won't fit because there needs to be a hole in the frame for the bolt wich mine don't have, my question is I know for sure its the right kit but do the power wagons have a different frame than the regular 2500s? I could always drill the hole but I shouldn't have to because it's not required, I'm going to call b&w tmmrw but I'm sure they no little to nothing about the pw's thanks in advance!

Power Wagon frames are indeed different from the normal 2500s. I don't know what all the differences include but I know for certain they have different numbers.

Not sure it helps any but my old 3G wagon had a B&W turnover on it...

My 2013 has a B&W turnover ball in it as well. Take a picture of where you're talking about and I'll check mine to see if it's the same.

I had the same issue with my '06. I just drilled the hole and made it fit. It works great.

Thanks guys I called b&w and told them my problem and they asked if I had a power wagon, so apparently the frame usa little different so I had to drill the frame and cut their side bracket as bas as I hated to
