Same pedal. I think the new one is going to be too small, but good luck! Let us know how it goes.

Well that's disappointing. But it won't be the first time I've tried to make something work. Sometimes I'm successful, other times not. But it keeps me busy. I've got no problem modding if needed. Take my Jeep for example. It can never be returned to stock, and I'm cool with that. It's a one of a kind, exactly what I wanted, and I'm never gonna sell it. But even the Challenger pedal requires some modding, so there's no specific pedal for the Ram anyways. Either way I get away from the computer for a bit, get to fiddle with the truck, and that's a good thing.

I was supposed.to.get one of.these.in the mail today then Amazon suddenly said the order was delayed until June?!?!?
Here you go, this Challenger clutch pedal goes very well with the Ram gas pedal with it's similar wide shape, follow the mod I wrote up, it's not hard and really makes a nice set IMHO.
Yup, I did exactly what he did, except when I cut the nub off, I kept it and hollowed it out with a Dremel so I can glue it back over the screw head vs. painting if so desired.Cool! Just what I wanted to see. You did get the head to hide quite well.

Good idea!As I've mentioned before, I don't really like the idea of the hole through the pedal cover. So I came up with a different idea. But I only have the baby cover to play with, so I decided to do a quick prototype with it. It would work much better with the Challenger pedal I think. Normally the covers are just held on by the rubber lips around the actual pedal. Of course the Ram has the nub that goes through the hole too. So I figured I could replicate the pedal surface itself, and avoid the holes, but still use a screw and nut to hold it securely. I'd recommend making it out of metal, but the only stock I had laying around was plexiglass. Thought what the hell, probably as strong as the rubber lips. So I cut out a template, couldn't find my plastic cutter, so I just did a quick hack with a utility knife. Not straight, but it won't be visible anyways. Found a screw and nut that looked like it would work, and did a little hand sanding to get the dimensions closer to where I wanted them. Mounted it in the truck, and was pleasantly surprised. I think it looks ok, and it doesn't budge when I press the pedal with my foot. I'll probably still get the Challenger pedal and do the same thing, but I'm gonna roll with this for a bit and see if I still like it, or if it irritates me. Took me maybe 15 or 20 minutes start to finish.
Like I said, I think the Challenger pedal would look better because it would cover the whole pedal surface, and from norton333's pics, looks like it would fit inside the cover.
Man I need to clean my truck!

Good idea!
Y'all made this little project take about 10 minutes....lol
Call me lazy, I just did a black allen head bolt for the parking brake. It's good enough for me.
Awesome.....I may go back and revisit mine at some point but it feels sturdy and matches the rest....that's the main thing I cared about.Looks good man! My Challenger pedal is supposed to be here Thursday, so I can test my method on it. The little one seems to be doing ok.
