    Wanting to install oem trailer brake controller, don't have the connectors

    Wanting to install the oem integrated trailer brake controller on my 2009 1500, but I don't have the 2 connectors taped to the harness that are supposed to go to the controller. Instead I have a large blue 4 prong connector and a smaller green one stuffed behind it. What do I need to do to make...

    Zone UCA issue

    I've had these Zone upper control arms for over 2 years, just now getting ready to install. When moving the ball joint on one of the arms the boot comes completely out from underneath the blue ring that's supposed to hold it in place, exposing the bj. I tried replacing the boot and ring over it...

    Gladiator rear sway bar end links?

    I have 2" rear coil spacers in my truck and looking to level out the sway bar. Was looking at the core 4x4 end links but came across a pair of synergy gladiator adjustable end links for a little cheaper, since I've heard gladiators have basically identical rear suspension I don't see why they...

    Are rear cab vents actually necessary?

    I replaced both rear cab vents in my 09 single cab with the updated design that has thinner, bigger flaps that open a lot easier. Ever since I’ve had a loud whistling/whooshing from them that increases with vehicle speed, super annoying as it’s right behind me since it’s a single cab. So my...

    1500 to 2500 4th gen bumper swap using NSB brackets

    I’ve never liked the look of 09-12 1500 bumpers and always liked the 2500 bumpers so as soon as I found someone makes brackets to make the swap I did it. Found the 2500 bumper for $150 on FB marketplace. One thing I was set on was keeping tow hooks if at all possible, since 1500 frames are...

    Need some leveling advice/opinions

    So I have a 2009 1500 4x4 and bone stock, I've wanted to level/lift it a couple inches ever since I bought it. It currently rides pretty rough, I don't know if it's worn out 14y/o shocks, or maybe the early 4th gen suspension wasn't as nice, or I've heard some theories that since it's a single...

    How to reset oil change indicator?

    Stupidest of all questions I know lol… but i can’t figure out how to reset the oil change reminder on my 09 1500. I did an oil change when I bought it but can’t figure out how to get rid of the pop up reminder thing, YouTube said to press the gas pedal 3 times in accessory mode and then start...

    Is there a real difference between 09 and 10+ HVAC controls?

    I believe the HVAC controls are going out on my 09, and another member here has the controls out of a 2010 available, but the numbers don't match up. Everything else appears identical between the two. Mopar part site says my 09 controls are for 09-11, and the ones out of the 2010 are for 11-12...

    My used Ram has aftermarket coolant... What should I do?

    Flushing the heater core on my 09 1500 5.7, I ordered 2 gallons of Mopar 5 year HOAT to top off the coolant, which according to my findings is the correct coolant for the truck. I didn't think to look at what coolant was in the truck, now that I have it apart I see it's yellowish green... as I'm...

    Will lift for 13-18 Ram fit 09?

    My dad bought this lift for his 2016 1500, but he ended up buying a camper and doesn’t want to tow with a lift, so I was thinking about putting it on my truck, a 2009 1500. Both 4x4s with 5.7s. Kit says for 13-18, will it fit the 2009? I’m not familiar with any suspension changes that may have...

    No heat on driver side

    I have no heat on driver side top or bottom, air blowing but cold. Passenger side has great heat. I've messed with all 3 actuators I can get to (1 behind the glovebox and 2 behind the center console), the doors are moving fine and not stuck. The most confusing part is, it's not dual zone, just...

    What are the BODY differences between 1500 and 2500s?

    Obviously there's plenty of drivetrain and suspension and whatever other differences between them, but just out of curiosity, what are the differences on the actual bodies between 4th gen 1500 and 2500s? Looks to me it's just the front clip (from the fenders forwards).
