2012 Ram Questions and Answers

• How Does a Curt Trailer Hitch Install on a 2012 Dodge Ram 4500 Cab and Chassis
  
• In order to install Curt trailer hitch # C15800 on your 2012 Dodge Ram 4500 cab and chassis model you will have to drill into the frame because, like you have said, there are no holes in the frame already. The rivet that is in the rear most part of the frame also will come out and get replaced by a bolt. Installation is very similar to hitch # C15400 (just the capacities are different) and I have linked the instructions for it for you to view. The hitches install with 3 bolts on each frame r

• Will the Tekonsha Plug-In Adapter # 3021-P work on a 2012 Ram 1500
  
• As long as you have a factory 7-way at the rear of your 2012 Ram 1500 the Tekonsha Plug-In Wiring Adapter # 3021-P that you referenced would be the correct product for you. If you do not have a trailer connector you will first need to start with a 4-way. For that I recommend the Draw Tite Hardwire kit # 119175KIT. Next you will need to convert the 4-way to a 7-way. For that I recommend the Universal Installation Kit for Trailer Brake Controller # ETBC7. I attached installation instructions an

• Should Tekonsha P3 Brake Controller # 90195 Be Reprogrammed to Install in 2012 Dodge Ram 1500
  
• Your Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake Controller # 90195 will only cause you to re-program your 2012 Dodge Ram 1500 Big Horn if you had a factory brake controller installed and then added the P3 later. The OEM controller would have to be turned off by re-programming the computer. If your truck did not have a factory controller and has a factory 7-Way, you will have no problem. I have provided a link to a video showing the typical installation of this product and a link to the installation in

• Curt Below Bed 5th Wheel Installation Kit Brackets for a 2012 Dodge Ram 3500 with 8 Foot Bed
  
• If you have Curt above the bed 5th wheel rails like in kit # C16420-104 that you have referenced then the correct brackets for a 2012 Dodge Ram 3500 long bed are # C16420. However, if you have rails from a different manufacturer, you have to match the bracket manufacturer with the rail manufacture. You cannot mix manufacturers because the parts have not been tested together and the capacity of the system will be unknown. I have included a link to the installation instructions for the C16

• 5th Airborne Sidewinder for Fifth Wheel Towed by 2012 Dodge Ram Quad Cab
  
• If your Ram has the 5-1/2 foot bed, the Sidewinder would be your only alternative to possibly gain enough clearance for sharp turns. To determine if you will be able to make 90 degree turns while using the Sidewinder, take a look at the clearance formula on the Sidewinder FAQ page I have linked you to. You will need to measure the distance between your hitch jaw and the rear of your cab. Add 22 inches (length of Sidewinder arm) to this measurement. From this sum, subtract half the width of the t

• 5th Wheel Wiring Harness Recommendation for a 2012 Ram 3500
  
• The Bargman Custom Fit Vehicle Wiring # 51-97-410 that you referenced will work on your 2012 Ram 3500. This harness will plug inline behind the 7-way at the rear of your vehicle and will provide you with a 7-way in the bed of your truck. I attached an install video for this product for you to check out also.

• Will the Roadmaster Rear Anti-Sway Bar Help Reduce Sway on a 2012 Ram 1500
  
• Yes, the Roadmaster Rear Anti-Sway Bar # RM-1129-135 that you referenced will help reduce sway and help stabilize the vehicle, especially with the other suspension components that you are also upgrading. However, a properly loaded trailer is the best defense against trailer sway. You will want to make sure you have as much weight as far forward on the trailer as possible. Another option you have to fight sway is a weight distribution system. Weight distribution systems do what their name

• Installation of a Cold Air Intake System on a 2012 Ram 3500 6.7L Diesel
  
• After doing some research on your 2012 Ram 3500 6.7L and speaking with my contact at aFe, I could not find any known issues with the OEM sensors and an aftermarket intake system. The OEM sensors will be installed in the new intake system (see photo) and my contact at aFe assured me that you should not have any issues with your air sensors when you install the Cold Air Intake, # AFE75-12032, assuming there is nothing wrong with your sensors now.

• What is the Weight Capacity of the Stromberg Carlson 100 Series 5th Wheel Tailgate
  
• The weight capacity of the Stromberg-Carlson 5th wheel tailgate # VGD-10-100 is 300 pounds. It is possible that if you have a smaller cart it will weigh under this limit. You will want to have the lightest end of the cart on the tailgate if it must be on it at all. I have included a link to a video showing a typical installation for you.

• How Wide are the Westin Sure Grip Running Boards for a 2012 Ram 1500
  
• I spoke to my contact at Westin and he told me that the best way for you to figure out how far out the Westin Sure-Grip Running Boards # 27-6650-1905 will stick beyond the sides of your vehicle would be to measure inches out from the very bottom of your rocker panels. These running boards are 6 inches wide and install at the bottom of your rocker panel, so measuring out 6 inches from the rocker panel will tell you exactly where they will be.

• Parts Needed to Install a Brake Controller on a 2012 Dodge Ram 1500
  
• If you have 7-way trailer connector at the rear of your vehicle you can simply plug a Tekonsha Plug-In Wiring Adapter # 3021-P in under your dash in the plug you found and you would be ready to install a Tekonsha brake controller like the Prodigy P2 Brake Controller # 90885. If you have a 4-way at the rear of your vehicle you will also need a Adapter 4 Pole to 7 Pole # 37185. You will plug your 4-way into this adapter and then you would run a length of 10 gauge wire like our part # 10-1-1 fro

• Weight Distribution System for a 2012 Dodge 4x4 5.7L Towing a 4500 lb Travel Trailer
  
• The important factor to consider when choosing a weight distribution system is the loaded tongue weight of your towing setup. The loaded tongue weight includes the loaded and ready to tow tongue weight of your trailer plus the weight of any cargo that is loaded in your truck bed behind the rear axle. Once you find the loaded tongue weight of your setup, you will want to choose a weight distribution system with a tongue weight range that encompasses your loaded tongue weight. I have attached

• 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Installation Kit for a 2012 Dodge Ram 2500 Mega Cab
  
• Yes, the Curt custom 5th wheel trailer hitch installation kit # C16420-204 will fit a 2012 Dodge Ram 2500 Mega Cab. I checked with Curt to confirm this. I have also included a link to the installation instructions for you to view. This kit will work on short and long beds. If you have a long bed I recommend the Curt 20K hitch # C16130. It has a double jaw and 360 degree cushioned head. If you have a short bed, go with the slider version # C16536.

• Does it Matter Which Wire on a Trailer Brake Magnet is Ground and Which is Power
  
• First, I do not recommend doing any experiments until you know where all the wires are going and what the functions are. On a brake magnet, there is normally a set of wires, one for power and one for ground. It does not matter which wire does what. The ground wire should be attached nearby to a bare metal surface. All of the brake power wires will attach to the brake output wire from the trailer connector. There is no front and rear or left and right. All the brake power wires go to the same

• Front and Rear Mud Flap Recommendation for a 2012 Dodge Ram 3500 Dually
  
• Add-on fender flares are additional pieces of plastic around the wheel well. I attached a photo comparing your truck to a truck that we have on our lot with fender flares as an example. Your 2012 Dodge Ram 3500 Dually does not have fender flares and the mud flaps that would fit your truck are the Husky Liners Rear Mud Flaps, # HL57181. For a front pair, you will want part # HL56171. The mud flaps that you referenced are for the non-dually models of the Ram 3500. The protective covering

• How to Pick out a Weight Distribution System with Sway Control for a 2012 Ram 3500
  
• The first thing you need to know in order to pick out the correct weight distribution system is the loaded tongue weight of the setup when it is ready to tow. This is the most important factor to consider and I attached an FAQ article on how to determine this figure for you to check out also. To determine if your vehicle is capable of using weight distribution you will need to consult the owners manual. There should be a section on towing that will have towing capacities and any restrictions

• Gooseneck/Fifth Wheel Wiring Recommendation for a 2012 Ram 2500
  
• For your 2012 Dodge Ram 2500 I would recommend the Draw-Tite Fifth Wheel and Gooseneck Wiring Harness 7-Pole # 20110. This wiring harness has been confirmed to work on your 2012 Ram 2500. Or, for a 90 degree harness you could get a part # 51-97-410. Hopkins Endurance 5th Wheel/Gooseneck 90-Degree Wiring Harness # 41157 you referenced looks like it might work but is not confirmed to work on your vehicle so I do not recommend it for you.

A Tri-Glide model that fits the RBW 7019 is not available, although there is a standard TrailAir Air Ride pin box available, part # UF35-946215 that is compatible with your existing pin box.. The Air Ride pin box features an air bag and shock absorber that will dampen the road shock experienced with OE pin boxes. This standard air ride pin box will not isolate chucking as well as

• Reese Elite Series Installation Kit and Suspension Enhancement for a 2012 Dodge Ram 3500 Mega Cab
  
• The Reese Elite series complete installation kit # RP30158-52 is listed as a fit for your 2012 Dodge Ram 3500 Mega Cab. This install kit has brackets that fit around the bottoms of the frame rails and use u-bolts to essentially clamp the kit to the frame. Take a look at the instructions I have linked. The Air Lift system you referenced, # AL57295, installs with brackets on the bottom of the frames so it is not likely to fit with the hitch installation kit. I included a link to the instruction

• Availability of Side Steps to Fit 2012 Dodge Ram 3500 Mega Cab

They will only fit the 2012 Dodge Ram 3500 Regular Cab or Crew Cab. I have the Carr Custom-Fit Side Steps, part # CARR125771, that will fit your 2012 Dodge Ram 3500 Mega Cab. They have an overall length of 20 inches and a step platform dimension of 17 inches long x 5 inches wide. It has a drop of 6 inches and a weight capacity

• Can 5th Wheel Rails from a Ford be Used in a 2012 Dodge Ram 2500
  
• The above the bed rails can be reused but the underbed brackets # RP50082 will not fit a 2012 Dodge Ram. Your Ram requires installation brackets # RP50140. You will also need hardware kit # RP58430 because the above the bed rails are designed to be used with the 10 bolt installation kit. I have included a link to the installation instructions for you. If your truck has a gas motor AND overload springs then you will need a different kit made up of # RP58023 and # RP30439. I have linked instruc

• Trailer Brakes Lock Up After Using an Electric Over Hydraulic Actuator and 2012 Dodge Ram 3500
  
• The first thing I recommend checking is the output setting on the brake controller. If adjusting the power level does nothing to solve the problem then we can work out way back. Check the vehicle and trailer side connectors for any dirt or corrosion because this can cause a short. Next move on to the trailer and check the wiring for the actuator. The unit must be wired like in the diagram I have included. If there is a short in the breakaway wiring, the pin is pulled out from the switch, or a

• Is there a Break-In Period Before a Triple Dog GT Tuner Can Be Installed on a 2012 Dodge Ram 3500

He stated that there is no minimum amount of miles or break-in period requirements for installing the programmer. Once you get the programmer you can go ahead and install it. I have include a link to the installation instructions for you. I still would advise you to follow any break-in period recommendations from Dodge just to be on the safe side.

• Is there Drilling to Install the Curt Custom Rail Kit in the Bed of a 2012 Dodge Ram 3500
  
• With a custom fifth wheel install kit like the Curt Custom Rail Kit # C16420-204 that you referenced there will be some drilling involved. But compared to a universal fifth wheel rail kit the drilling required is much less. But yes, you will still need to drill through the bed to attach the above-the-bed rails to the frame brackets.

• How to Remove the Fifth Wheel Hitch Head
  
• I assume you are wanting to remove the fifth wheel hitch from the base rails that are bolted to your truck bed. The hitch legs should only be held on to the rails using 4 pins and clips (See Photo). Once you remove those 4 pins and clips, lift up on the hitch and it should come out of the slot in the rails. If the hitch has become wedged in the rails, it may take some persuasion to lift the hitch. I recommend having someone help and make sure you are both lifting straight up. If you are lift
