The quads do not have rear ducts from the factory but they can be added. I'm told the rear vents can be quite anemic in their output so not having them may be a negligible difference...

Found what I was looking for. Please disregard.

Wanted to post some pictures from me adding rear air. You have to cut into the box to remove the piece that will allow you to use part# 4. Other than manipulating that part in, it was pretty easy. Should have it done next weekend

I imagine this is the same for a 14 Quad ST. Did the "S" tube that is running from the new airbox opening come with the center console or did you have to order it? How was cutting through the plastic?

This is a future mod for me but I am trying to gather part numbers so I can start collecting pieces.

I just bought a 2020 ram 2500 tradesman crew cab 4x4. IhI the folding seat/armrest. The 4x4 is a stick on floorboard. I am wanting to put in new 5th gen 18-20 center console. I have a few questions. I have seen some pictures of people putting center consoles in 4th gen and just notching a hole in side of console for the 4x4. Can this be done for new Rams? Will a console out of a 19-20 1500 ram work in a 19-20 2500? Any videos/pictures out there? Would I need to change anything on the dash area? Please and thank you. 1st time poster.

I'm going to say it probably will but I have not had my hands on a 19-20 console so...….. Just seen pictures of the tops but I know ram didn't change the floors so you may have to be the ginny pig on this one!!!

Does anyone know what size nuts and bolts will be needed when swapping a 13+ center console into a jumpseat vehicle? I dont want to get half way into this and discover i need nuts or bolts and have to run to the store. Thanks.

Some of the bolts you pull from your Jump Seat will be used to mount the Console brackets but it would be a good Idea to have some 6 & 8 MM bolts on hand!!

Do you know what thread pitch? At ace hardware there are a ton of different thread sizes, lengths, etc.

Has anyone made a complete parts list needed for a console swap that also includes the hardware (nuts, bolts, etc) that is needed?

I know it's a little late but on the USB connector in the dash. The cable runs up behind the upper glove box. Just remove the upper glove box and to the left in the dash reinforcement bar there is where the USB cable hooks up with the truck harness

Is this usb connector also there on the 2012 Rams? More specifically the 2012 Regular Cab Rams?

Yea I have it all. Bezel, both F + R brackets, both front “wings” or kick panels as some call them. All rubber mats are there for the console, even the cup holder inserts. Really good deal I got.

I just need the hardware, but I just saw earlier in this post, the bolt sizes for most that I shall need.

I was going to mention you probably need to check that. I was going by price as those are the lower end ones. Best way to verify is talk to Benny at Allmopar parts thru the Ram forum.
