you are right i just looked there is another junction. i saw a purple wire going in but didn't see one coming out. i wonder if i could buy that wire with the terminals and just push them in that connection and the fuse block. 

If you tell me an approximate length, I can make it for you. $15 shipped. Most don’t like getting up into that connector and why I just made a complete harness.

Always figured they were a waste of money. Won't order without it now.

i use mine a lot. it only takes about 3 minutes to get too hot to hold, so i turn it off after that.   its funny how awesome the steering wheel warmer is and how terrible the seat warmers are.

I never thought I'd need a heated steering but now that I have one I would not want to live without it! Truly awesome in Alaskan winters..

i don't want to mess with it either, i'd would rather buy the little harness you have in your video.  that seems to be the simplest way to go.

Need a little help. Adding the heated wheel to 2018 1500 lt and I;m seeing several different clock spring part numbers along with 1st and 2nd design when reading these posts. Can someone enlighten me ?

2014 - 2017 clock springs kept the same 2-pin plug for the heat wheel connection down in the footwell.

For 2018, they changed it up.

This is what the 14-17 clock spring end for the heated wheel looks like.

This is the 2018 clock spring end.

From what I can tell, this was the only change. This is, of course, for 1500 trucks. The 2500/3500 trucks seem to only have (1) air bag connector versus (2) for 1500s.

14-17 clock spring - 23381964
18 clock spring - 84186645

I used the 84186645 clock spring on my 2018 LT...  and the steering wheel was 84353110....ccc2e7824c049f4e15eddb0f41217ec4.jpg

For sure. I like when things “just work”. Especially this one. Since the plug is already there. LOL.

Alright question. Reading through this thread I saw the discussion about the weight dampeners being present on the wheel for the 1500s and not the 2500/3500s. Found a wheel on eBay that states its for a 2500/3500. Comparing it to a wheel shown for a 1500 I only see these yellow pieces being different. I just want to confirm that those are what we are calling weight dampeners before I order the wrong thing. I attached the picture of both side by side and circled the items in question in blue.

Thanks in advance everyone.

Yes the yellow rubber pieces hold on the dampener.  So the one on the left has the dampener on it.  Not sure what year of truck you have, but the steering wheel with heat without crash assist for a 2018 is 84353110.

I believe the airbag wiring is different between the 1500 vs 2500/3500 as well. Seems one has 1 plug vs other has 2.

      seat base height *lowering* (base 40/20/40 seat, 2026 1500 WT std cab)

      By bwiese · Posted

      Folks, Have a great new 2026 WT  (std cab, 2.7/4WD) w/base 40/20/40 mech adj bench "fake buckets"  (with lower and upper center console) heavy vinyl seats.  Overall the seats are very comfortable and the vinyl is heavy and appears less likely to 'split out'. Am very tall (6'5")  + a bad back/osteporosis/former hyperparathyroidism so ease/range of movement is a bit restricted.  The truck rides a bit high and I use a nerf step bar w/my left foot to step in, then I put right foot/leg in, drag my butt in  & get seated.  Worked fine in my 2018 RAM quadCab. But I end up dragging my butt over the left raised sidecushsion area of vinyl seat, and due to texture there's fair amount of traction on slide inward.  (ArmorAll didn't improve.) If the seat were even ~1/2" - 3/4" lower it'd be helpful, but base seats just have the forward/backward underseat bail and the side lever for tilt which really doesn't affect seat height.   I really don't want to 'de-puff' the left side sidecushion forming the  fake 'bucket'. I know one company sells 'seat elevator blocks':  but is there a simple way of lowering the height of the driver seat instead?   Thanks Bill W San Jose

      I have a basic 2026 1500 WT  (2.7L/4WD reg cab shorttbed). Comfy, generally happy with electronics/radio - but is there a way I can add switches to steering wheel right-side position (curr. empty) so I can adjust volume, push phone button to voice dial, etc? Bill W San Jose

      Travel Trailer 2024 2500 HD 6.6 Gas Engine ?

      By Tyler Gibbs · Posted

      The curb weight on a 1 ton crew cab long bed is around 7k lbs.  Now, I don't know where you went to school but 9k is not more than 2x 7k lbs. More than 2x 7k lbs would be 14k+.   With that said, obviously yes you're going to feel a 9k lb trailer when slowing down.  I already said, when accelerating.  When changing lanes?  No.  But if you look at the context of what was quoted, the original person said, "after a mile or two..." which means that would be after the accelerating portion and you're driving a generally steady pace.  Please do learn to read and comprehend.

      Like I've said before. Di and Carbon buildup is not that big of a concern. Engine had minimal buildup, and that engine was obviously not super well maintained. Do regular oil changes, and you're gtg as long as the rest of the truck lasts. Also, the High Pressure FP that people ****** about, but can't tell you why.  Now, I wish they'd trash the variable oil pump. No real world issues with them, but I'll gladly eat whatever miniscule MPG it's saving me in favor of more oil at all RPMs.    Curious to see his assessment of the 7.3 compared to the 6.6. I expect he'll praise the port inj, but from a structural standpoint, the 6.6 is as robust as any engine out there.    Not to take away from the 7.3. I feel it's equally as good as the 6.6.     As to heat on the rear cyls, I'd have to see numerous examples before I'd say it's an issue. Especially not knowing the history of that engine. For all is known, they could have blown a rad hose, and ran it hot, and the 2 rear cyls may be the first to get hot in a low coolant situation, but not be an issue aside from that.
