Expert Answers about Dodge Ram Pickup


  • Dimensions of Mud Flaps for 2010 Dodge Ram 2500 Short Bed
  • The mud flaps you reference, # WT120024, are a confirmed fit for your 2010 Dodge Ram Pickup 2500 Series Non-Dually without flare fenders. I went out to the warehouse and pulled these mud flaps. What I did was measure the custom contour (where the flap fits the bottom of the fender) to the bottom of the flap. That measurement is 7". See the installation instructions and the image with these measurements that I made for you at right.

  • Recommended Class V Trailer Hitch Receiver for 2001 Dodge Ram 3500 Dually
  • I recommend the Curt Class V receiver hitch # C15300 for your 2001 Dodge Ram 3500 Club Cab Dually Pickup. This is a bolt on installation, so no welding is required. It comes complete with hardware kit. You may want to check out our Class V ball mounts, to complete your towing setup for the 2-1/2 by 2-1/2 inch hitch. I've attached a help article to help you as you determine what is best for your towing needs. I'd suggest an adjustable ball mount like Weigh Safe's 180, # LTB4-25. This...

  • How to Determine What Gooseneck Hitch in a 2006 Dodge Ram 3500 Long Bed
  • Your best option would be to look under the truck to see if you can make out any brands of gooseneck hitch or part numbers. If you can at least see a brand name or make out the general shape of the hitch and the installation hardware you could compare that to the link I attached to the right that has all of the gooseneck hitches we carry confirmed to fit your 2006 Dodge Ram 3500.

  • Hitch Lock Recommendation for a B and W Companion Hitch
  • I spoke with my contact at B&W and they do not have a specific locking pin for the head on the Companion hitch # BWRVK3600. So there are some options. You could replace one of the pins with Kuat lock # HL1. It is a 5/16 inch diameter so it would fit loose in the 3/8 hole. The span of the pin is 3-1/2 inches. Or another option my contact suggested was to use a cable lock such as # 8419DPF. I do not recommend using the lock or the cable while towing the trailer though. Use the regular...

  • No Splice 4 Pole Trailer Wiring Harness for 1990 Doge Ram 50 Pickup
  • We do have a plug and play 4 pole trailer connector harness for a 1990 Dodge Ram 50 pickup. As long as your trailer has minimal lighting (one taillight per side without multiple marker lights), the Curt # C55317 would work great for you. The harness would plug inline with the factory taillight harnesses on the driver's and passenger frame rail behind the bumper. If your trailer has more extensive lighting, you'll need to use a hardwired powered converter like # C59496 because the existing...

  • How to Select Idler Hub to Replace Dexter Hub/Drum Assembly

You'll also want to confirm your wheel bolt pattern so that your wheels will bolt up easily. The linked article will help with that. The other linked page will show you all idler hubs.

  • Recommended Trailer Axle Kit for Fabricating Off-Road Utility Trailer

  • 5th Wheel Hitch for 2014 Dodge Ram 2500 with RamBox and 6-Foot Bed
  • A short bed truck by itself can pose a challenge for 5th wheel towing due to the limited front-to-back clearance between the truck cab and the trailer's overhang. When we add the Rambox feature we also add another complication: reduced side-to-side clearance. Hitch makers like Reese, Curt and B&W discourage use of 5th wheels in such trucks; that said, there are those that have satisfactorily installed 5th wheels anyway. The best solution for the turning clearance problem in such trucks...
