#16 of 58 Brake Controller by lgordo Dec 11, 2007 (6:23 pm)
I have a 2008 Dodge Ram 1500 Quad cab with a tow package and can't find the plug for the brake controller, my 2005 had it right next to the steering column on the left side near firewall and it was blue. Can't see it anywhere, any help.
#17 of 58 Brake Controller Plug in location by marker2 Dec 13, 2007 (5:09 pm)
I had the same problem with my '08 1500 Ram as well. First of all the dealer removed the controller plug that is supplied in the golve box on all RAMs with a towing package and had it in their parts department for sale. After a conversation with them, they gave it to me and said it was a mistake by the guy that prepares the truck for delivery...Yeah right!   Anyway, I went to hook it up and I could not find the plug under the dash. After a friend told me where it was it was still hard to find as when they assembled the truck it was tucked in behind the electronic module. The module has a bunch of wires coming into/out of it up under the drivers dash between the side wall and the steering column. If you can't see it, reach behind for a loose connector and pull it out in front. Again, You may not have it if you did not purchase the manufacturer's towing package.   Good luck. If you still can't find it I can get a picture to you if you ping me offline at gsireoverogers.com.   Gary Replies to this message: bad99ram (Feb 23, 2008 12:43 pm)

Replying to: marker2 (Dec 13, 2007 5:11 pm) Funny you should say that because there was no harness in my truck either, when I asked about it they said that was funny and proceeded to get me one. I have the same manufacturers tow package that I had on my 05. Will have a look in the a.m. and let you know, thanks for the help. Replies to this message: lgordo (Dec 14, 2007 10:52 am)

Glad to help. Just passing on a favour as someone else had to tell me where it was.
#23 of 58 Dodge Ram 3500 payoad by gdog6 Dec 14, 2007 (7:11 pm)
i was looking at the towing and payload ratings for the ram 3500! Dodge only gave it a 10100 GVWR. the payload for a quad cab- a lousy 2995lbs how does this truck tow any heavy duty load. I hope the 09's have more payload Replies to this message: kcram (Dec 15, 2007 1:14 pm)

Replying to: gdog6 (Dec 14, 2007 7:11 pm) That's the 3500 single rear wheel, which is not much more than a 2500 with a beefier spring pack. The 3500 dual rear wheel is much higher in payload. As far as towing, it depends on what kind of hitch. If you have a heavy fifth wheel, you need the DRW. If you're using a receiver, either one will do, since that's more a consideration of frame and power than payload.   kcram - Pickups Host
