Can I use the vin? Is there a code I missed somewhere on the door sticker? Is there a build sheet somewhere in the rams?

Thanks in advance

Here’s a link to dodges main website. Click on the “equipment listing” in the left hand side of the page. Then put your VIN number in and you’ll have every option listed for your truck. Other way is climb underneath and look at the back pumpkin, most trucks have a small metal tag attached to a diff cover bolt. Depends if it’s ever been serviced and accidentally lost..

That is a very impressive that dodge has that option on the website. Printed out the whole build sheet for my truck! Thanks Chris!

You have a 1500. Therefore (if stock) you have a 9.25". If you mean ratio, that will be in the build sheet, tag inside the glovebox (if it's still there) or the tag on the differential cover under one of the bolts (if that's still there).

Ive tried emailing them close to 10 different times and it still won't send. The icon just sits and spins. I tried my phone, my wifes phone and even our laptop with no luck. I've been meaning to stop by the dealer when I'm in town but keep forgetting. Maybe it's just my luck lol

The link above you enter your VIN and it generates a build sheet in pdf form immediately. If you're having issues I can run the VIN and post it here for you (if you'd like).

You are somewhat lucky
The BodyBuilders website goes back to 2004

You have to follow the instructions that are printed in RED

OR

If you are using Windows 10, IE 11 is loaded on your machine. To open IE 11 go to the START menu. (click on the lower left corner of the screen) Scroll down to the W's and find the heading for WINDOWS ACCESSORIES and expand it. From there, select INTERNET EXPLORER. If you wish, you can pin EXPLORER to your taskbar.

Follow the link Crash posted. Don't do what Yankee posted... That is just really bad advice. Site he posted is even worse.

The link changed a bit for the Equipment Listing. Try this:
