wnaplay1647545503 Posted July 17, 2013 Report Share Posted July 17, 2013 Have the opportunity to pick one up for a good price. No way to find out any real details on it as it was a repossessed truck that I know runs but needs a battery or alternator most likely. I assume that since the value isn't similar to like Chevy and fords that these may have some issues to watch for. Truck has the 5.7 hemi. Not what I wanted and the truck isn't mint but the price seems right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wnaplay1647545503 Posted July 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2013 I can never afford what I want so I just get was sparks my fancy. Picked it up now I have questions. It came with a generic key and now I need to know if its capable of being used with a key FOB. I know I would have to buy one and have the key cut but how do I know if I am even capable of using one with it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ODoyle Posted July 22, 2013 Report Share Posted July 22, 2013 AFAIK if it's got power locks and mirrors it's probably capable if having a FOB. I gave the dealer the last 8 of my Ford's VIN and the sold me one for $50ish. My brothers 05 has a FOB...my dads 07 has a key...I imagine the key would be more expensive.

owndjoo Posted July 22, 2013 Report Share Posted July 22, 2013 if nothing else, clean it up and resell it for a quick profit. Its nice to get a good deal, drive it for a few months and make a lil coin on the deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BloodRed Posted July 25, 2013 Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 Doesn't matter the year as to if it is just a key or a FOB. Dodge/Ram still offers models without keyless entry/security/etc. You should be able to stop in at a Dodge dealership and have them print out the build sheet which will let you know if it came with a FOB.

wnaplay1647545503 Posted July 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 Contacted a dealership and spoke withaservice guy that looked up the truck. Now I need to find someone who works at a local dodge dealership and can give me a hookup on a new key/fob thing. Oh and I found out my truck has factory remote start so there's that.

Not sure about dodge, but when I was a toyota tech we didnt get any discount on parts.. As far as programming it, they could probably hook you up on that.

wnaplay1647545503 Posted July 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2013 I found some online that need cut and programmed but heard the dealership wouldn't program an aftermarket fob. I hear there's a sequence that allows you to program yourself I would just have to risk someone cutting it for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wnaplay1647545503 Posted August 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2013 Good. The only issues with the body of the truck are those caused by previous owners. Some scratching in the paint a few dings. The price at auction is the only reason I own it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
