So it just hit me, my truck has no badges anywhere, none on doors or fenders, or tailgate. Just the ram badge. We’re badges optional? No accidents per the car fax, maybe the previous owners removed them? Anyone else not have badges? I like the clean look though.

It’s just weird I never noticed it till now.

Ok, feel a little better now. I was worried I got a truck that had body work done but not reported. I looked it over, no indications of repaint or differences in the color. Thanks guys.

Just search 'debadge' on this forum, you'll find threads about how to do it and debates on whether or not to do it!
That was one of the first mods I did on mine and wow, what a difference.
You can find the various badges for sale on Amazon and such places, sometimes here on this forum, if you should feel like replacing them. Me, I really like the clean look.

Most likely they were removed. For me they have way too much going on with them.

As soon as I took possession of my truck I removed all of the badges. Then I did a paint correction, ceramic coated the whole truck, and added clear film to the headlights, hood, door cups, door thresholds, and the tailgate. The truck is definitely cleaner looking without all of the badges.

I want to remove all mine except for ram logo on the tailgate, as i plasti dipped it and I like how it looks.
What's the best way to remove the badges? would they just pull off? how about removing the sticky residue?

No older then yours is, floss and then goo gone and a plastic scraper. Goof off sticker remover will help also. Then polish the paint and wax it.

I heated mine up with a hair dryer or heat gun then used fishing line to thread it off. The Goo gone didn't work that great on the residue, I used one of those eraser wheels. I was afraid it was going to damage the paint but it did a fine job. My question is how do you remove the new hood 2500 emblems so that I can dip those to be solid black or something as you really can't remove those?Screenshot_20211204-060505_Photos.jpg

I put all the ones I was missing back on mine. I had taken them off when I bought the truck's plural. I have a redeye in the driveway. No badges on it at all as well. When I wear it out and still under warranty, ill trade it in for a new one.

Removed mine too. Like the clean look and am a little OCD. Trying to clean in between those letters and numbers as well as not get wax on them, mine were black, drove me crazy.

I removed all mine too. I like the clean look. some manufacturers allow you to "badge delete" on ordering. I know Porsche offered that for a while.
