Fifth Wheel Hitch issue - How to correct?
Long story, but I'll try to keep it as short as I can. 3 years ago, bought a B&M Patriot slider for my RAM 2500. Had the dealer install rails. My first experience, so I didn't know any better. Deal...

Instead of band-aiding this, since you have the pucks, why not sell the current Patriot and replace it with a Patriot OEM? Either used or new. Most B&W hitches in good condition sell for 50%, or more, of MSRP.

Not sure if this is the same person but selling the existing and buying the puck slider was mentioned.
B&W's are easy to sell.
I actually tried to sell the Patriot before I was aware of the Reese adapter. I would have sold it in a heartbeat for half the cost of a new hitch. I listed mine locally for $700. Did some research and I could have bought the same hitch in virtually the same condition as mine for around $300. More than one for sale here. Didn't have one contact from a buyer. Resale in the Houston area is not good.
We have a local classifieds here, and anytime you look there are at least 50-60 hitches on there ,about any brand you can think of , including plenty of B&W hitches . When I bought my Andersen , I listed that Reese Signature 18K slider, same head as the Elite , I was practically giving it away ,and I don't remember getting one call on it . Still sitting in my garage .
