Did you program using the key2go access? I believe its required with that module for your year truck!

It won't let me do key2go. I may have to sell the parts and then buy from Doug. I didn't get a login or password from the company I bought from.

If I sell my truck could this Dball Express kit be installed into another RAM? Not sure how it could be reprogrammed but I assume it would work in another 2014 without any programming?

Thank you OP, instructions were a big help.

Installed and works great. Now just need to grab some zip ties and 2 sided tape and clean it up.

Thanks again to all. Love this forum!

I just got the new 4x10 module that is replacing the DBALL2. I also got the THCHC3 t-harness for an easier install.

I really like that they actually have a T for the diagnostic port and not just the ignition like some older ones did. I'm against tapping wires unless it's absolutely critical. One thing I didn't like was that there was an extra diagnostic connector and a whole other set of ignition connectors that aren't used. I understand they're there to make the harness work on more models, but it still bugged me. So, after I figured out which ones I needed, I pulled the harness apart and removed the ones I didn't need. I cut out the old crimp splices and soldered everything together. It's probably more effort than most will want to invest, but I'm pretty **** retentive with that kind of stuff.

I plugged it in and got it programmed and it works perfectly. Before I button everything up I think I'm going to buy a SmartStart module and add that. I'm just trying to find out if "pit stop mode" can be used with the app or not.

I just finished installing mine. The truck will start just fine but how can I get in it once it started. I can not unlock the doors with the keyfob, had to pull out the metal key from the remote. Is their a trick or something I did wrong?

They don't make this clear, but you need to use your other key. I discovered that the truck deactivates the remote buttons on the key you start the truck with. Since the module clones one of your keys when you program it, you can't use that key for the doors.

Yep, it should. I just swapped my spare with the one I was carrying and it's all good now.

I realized mine had an issue at the worst possible time. I tested it after installing it but I guess I didn't try to unlock while it was running. So, the next day I'm out early picking up a bunch of stuff from a bakery. I started it while I was inside, and then couldn't unlock it when I got out. I'm balancing all these boxes, and it's raining. lol

So, I had to put everything down and get out the emergency key. What a pain.
