Expert Answers about Dodge Ram Pickup


  • What Bull Bar Installation Hardware Do I Need for My 2008 Dodge Ram 1500?
  • I have an answer for you. The Replacement Bracket Hardware # 31-595PK is confirmed to fit the Westin E-Series Bull Bar with Skid Plate - 3" Tubing # 31-5950 (which is compatible with your 2008 RAM 1500). However, # 31-5950 already comes with all hardware required to fit your 2008 Dodge Ram 1500. Also, this particular bull bar is completely chrome (with no black). We currently do not carry any bull bars that are chrome and black that will fit your 2008 Dodge Ram 1500. With that being said,...

  • Brake Controller Wiring Harness for a 2009 Dodge Ram
  • The wiring harness you will need with the Tekonsha Voyager, item # 39510,if you have a factory installed 7-Way connector is the Universal Brake Control Wiring Adapter, Dodge, item # 3020-P. If you have an older Voyager with the 4 blunt cut wires, then you can still use this harness, but you will want to cut off the black plug and splice the wires together color for color.

  • Replacement Tarp For An Extang BlackMax Tonneau Cover On A 2008 Dodge Ram With A 6-1/2 Bed
  • The Replacement Tarp for Extang BlackMax Soft Tonneau Cover # EX1540 is not the correct replacement for your 2008 Dodge Ram, however I have a solution. The Replacement Tarp for Extang BlackMax Soft Tonneau Cover # EX1770 is the correct replacement tarp for the Extang BlackMax Soft Tonneau Cover # EX2770, which is a fit for your 2008 Dodge Ram with a 6-1/2' bed. This tonneau cover, EX2770 is no longer available per the manufacturer, unfortunately.

  • 7-Way Connector Needed to Mount 7-Way in Bed of 2010 Dodge Ram 2500 Laramie
  • It sounds like you are looking for a 7-Way harness like the Curt # C56000 which T's into your current 7-Way wiring on your 2010 Dodge Ram Pickup and allows you to add a 7-Way connector in the bed of your pickup. We typically recommend installing one of these for 5th wheel or gooseneck towing for the exact reason you mentioned. If you are needing to replace the connector and some wiring on your 5th wheel trailer then we have the Hopkins # H20046. For easy connection points a 7-Way with...

  • Parts Needed To Install a 5th Wheel Hitch On a 1997 Dodge Ram Pickup 8' Bed With Gooseneck Ball
  • I have a couple options for you as installing a set of 5th Wheel Rails # C16200 will likely involve having to remove the gooseneck hitch from your 1997 Dodge Ram pickup. Depending on your gooseneck hitch it may impede you from being able to install the 5th Wheel Rails # C16200. These rails include universal mounting brackets to attach the rails to the frame. These will allow you to use a Curt E16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C16115 which is our more economical combination for adding a 5th...

  • Installing Brake Controller on Farm Tractor For Moving Trailer Around
  • I'd be happy to help you with that. Since it's a tractor, there's likely a few differences from what would be seen on a standard passenger vehicle. You very likely won't need to contend with turn signals and taillilghts, and you won't be traveling at highway speeds or speeds typically seen on-road, so the installation will be somewhat simplified. For a brake controller, a simple and inexpensive time delayed controller like the Tekonsha Power Trac, part # 39523 would work well. The controller...

  • What Parts Are Needed To Tow A 2006 Dodge Ram
  • To tow your 2006 Dodge Ram you will need a tow bar, base plate kit, safety cables, and wiring for lights on your tow vehicle. The Roadmaster XL Base Plate Kit # 277-1A, is the base plate kit that will fit a 2006 to 2008 Dodge Ram 1500 Mega Cab and 2003 to 2011 Dodge Ram 2500 and 3500. These are just the brackets that will mount on your vehicle and be used to connect the tow bar to your vehicle. The tow bar I would recommend is the Roadmaster Blackhawk 2 Tow Bar # RM-422. This tow bar...

  • 5th Wheel Base Rail Kit for Husky Hitch in 2000 Dodge Ram 3500 4x4 with 8-Foot Bed
  • For your 2000 Dodge Ram 3500 4x4 with 8-foot bed I recommend Husky's custom-fit 5th wheel base rail kit # HT31404-686. This kit will take less time to install than universal-fit types and it will work with your Husky 5th wheel or any other hitch made for industry-standard above-bed base rails.

  • How to Install Combination 4-Pole/7-Way Trailer Socket on 2004 Dodge Ram
  • Since you need to tow two trailers with different types of wiring, one each with a 4-pole flat connector and with a 7-way blade style, you can install our # ETBC7 kit. This includes a combination 4-pole/7-way vehicle socket and all the connectors and wiring needed to install it. Your existing 4-pole will plug right in to the mating connector on the 7-way and you'll then make the other circuit connections for 12V power, reverse light signal and trailer brakes. I have linked both an article...

  • Will a Brake Controller Wiring Harness from a 2012 Ram 1500 Fit a 2013 Ram 1500
  • The brake controller wiring harness for the 2012 Dodge Ram 1500 will NOT fit the 2013. The 2013 has a unique multiplex wiring system and it requires a special harness. You will need to use harness # 3023-P on your 2013 Ram 1500, which will be compatible directly with your P3 controller. I have included a link to an FAQ article with a little more information on the new Dodge Powernet multiplex system and adding a brake controller.

  • Installation of Reese Brakeman Trailer Brake Controller in 2014 Dodge Ram
  • The trailer brake controller custom wiring adapter that you referenced, Tekonsha part # 3023-P works with all Tekonsha controllers unless they are the hard-wire type like your Brakeman. Based on my research the Brakeman has four hard-wired leads exiting its back rather than a plug to accept the adapter. You can still use the adapter to make the truck-side connection to the under-dash port, and simply cut off the flat connector (that is intended for the rear port on a current Tekonsha controller)...

  • How to Add Gooseneck Wiring to 1997 Dodge Ram 1500 Without Factory Wiring Harness
  • If your 1997 Dodge Ram 1500 has no type of factory trailer wiring at all then you'll need first to install a 4-pole harness like # 118329. This is a simple plug-in harness that installs at your tail light assemblies with no cutting or splicing of wires. You'll then convert that to a 7-way blade type RV socket using our # ETBC7 trailer brake controller installation kit. This kit includes a 7-way that plugs in to the 4-pole. The extra circuits will be connected using the supplied wiring,...

  • Can a 4 Lug Hub Be Swapped WIth a 5 Lug Hub
  • We do not, but as long as the new lug hubs use the same bearings as the current hubs you can just swap them out. For instance, if your current hubs used the L44643 bearing you can use both the Trailer Idler Hub Assembly for 2,000-lb Axles # AKIHUB-440-2-G-1K to replace the 5 lug hub # AKIHUB-545-2-G-1K. You'll just need to also keep in mind that the wheels you currently use won't work since the bolt pattern is different.

  • What Rails Are Compatible With My Reese 5th Wheel Hitch In My 2006 Dodge Ram 1500
  • I do have a couple of solutions for you. They will be based on the trim level of your 2006 Dodge Ram 1500. If your truck has a 6-1/2' bed and it does not have the Mega Cab OR you have the 8' bed, you will need the Reese Quick-Install Custom Installation Kit w/ Base Rails for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches, part # RP50040-58. If your Reese 5th Wheel is from their Elite or Signature Series this will not work. If you have the 6-1/2' bed with the Mega Cab you will instead use the Reese Semi-Custom...

  • Is There A Third Brake Light Camera Confirmed To Fit My 2008 Ram 2500.
  • I do have a Universal camera system that would work for you, The Rear View Safety Backup Camera System # RVS-778718N. We do not have any direct fit cameras for the older ram models that are confirmed to fit so # 3460012 will not work for you. I will attach a review link below.

  • Is There A Dual Tube Super Hitch Available For My 2008 Dodge Ram 3500 With Factory HItch
  • I have the regular Torklift 2-1/2 inch Hitch # TLD1102-30 which has the one receiver opening. We do not have the dual tube hitch available for your vehicle though. But with you already having the factory hitch and the TLD1102-30 that will give you two openings so you can use the Torklift Super Truss # TLE1548.

  • What Replacement Hardware do I Need for My Westin 3-Inch Nerf Bars on My 2008 Dodge Ram 1500?
  • When looking for replacement mounting brackets for nerf bars, it truly depends on what model of Westin 3-Inch Nerf Bars. Also, it is important to note that replacement mounting brackets will only fit specific nerf bar models that are designed to fit specific years/makes/models of vehicles. This fact makes the process of buying secondhand nerf bars and running boards extremely frustrating. If you have the compatible Westin E-Series Round Nerf Bars - 3" - Polished Stainless Steel # 23-2310...
