Does anybody know what this plastic piece is? Found it laying on the floor under front passenger seat behind the cover of my 2017 Ram 1500a71b76efac99e7c985d9c10e61b9ba80.jpg7733ea9018a80e5b8894230939838020.jpg3a3535ee4f97783690706809de83b178.jpgbc8e429381f35335cb4025e73c0c939c.jpg

I've got the big plastic cover obviously but that little plastic piece I don't have and have never seen before and I have the same model Ram. After two flats this year I won't bother to use the factory jack again. I got me a 3 pump 1.5 ton low profile aluminum jack for fathers day in the bed for next time.

I don't have a '17, I have a '10 and I have ripped every piece of plastic except the upper dash out of my truck at least 3x (sound deadening project). I have never seen anything in a Ram that looks like that. Is there a part number on the inside? If so, do a search on Google for that value and see what pops up.

It almost looks like some sort of snap on tablet/ipad holder. Like it would snug around a headrest. Except it would suck if it was behind your head....

I only see one pic on my phone, idk why, but I went on computer and now I see the black piece. I was sitting here saying to myself wtf are these guys talking about? Because the only pic I saw was the first one. Now I got it. Sorry for the misleading post op.

Here's a pic of the back with the sticker. I got a hold of someone from ramtrucks.com and they said I should take it to a dealer and have them look over the whole truck to see if something is broke or damaged that could cause harm to the someone or the truck. I said it's a small plastic piece and they wouldn't let me send a picture.20170820_161914.jpeg

Comes up as the cover for the transfer case SOTF module. So, it goes in the vicinity of under your 4x4 selector.

That is a manual, shift on the fly transfer case cover. I don't remember ever coming across that in my 1500. Maybe 25,35,5500?

It covers the DTCM, Drivetrain Control Module. It’s located underneath the passenger side of the dash. As someone else said if pull the carpet away from the firewall you will see the module. The cover covers the module and connectors.
