Just installed. Glad I watched this and didn’t undo the wiring harness. Clicked right back into place on step hole. Great add on to my Longhorn! Thanks

Nice Job sir... I really enjoyed this video. I have the step arriving today, and so this video was really 'convenient' in aiding me in what I'm supposed to be doing. Thank you!

Video was excellent. Installation was difficult for me. I found another video that clarified how to disconnect the connector. Also, I removed the tailpipe to make installation easier.
I have the same harness….was pretty easy to unplug and reroute Thx for the video!

That harness is much easier than the other one. There is a video on here about how to remove it. You push the red button towards the rear bumper (it clicks), then push down hard on the tab where the red button was (it clicks), then you can pull up on the white cam arm and the 2 plugs separate. Search for 2021 ram bed step harness and you should find it.
Torque is 120. Please torque those 2 upper bolts are trailer hitch bolts. 2021 newer do not need to disconnect the electricial harness.

How is the exhaust holding up ok the Ram? I just ordered the same for my 2019 Laramie. Heard the drone was bad after doing more research. Whats been your experience?

I ordered it directly from the dealership where I purchased the vehicle in Arizona. It was kind of pricey about $300. I hope this helps. The name of the dealership is Swanty’s
Can you install this with the factory one also installed, which retracts on the other side of the exhaust.

The one I installed is a factory one I bought it direct from the dealership and it’s a ram product

@@ManCaveMayhem thank you. I guess what I meant was can you install this one along with the one that comes from the factory that is installed on the inside of the exhaust. So I would have two installed at the same time. One at the corner and one more middle way towards the center. Both on the driver side.

Does RAM make these for both left and right sides?

I don’t believe they do. I think it’s just the left side.
I got mine installed today and the only issue is that it seems tight to deploy

So I just went to install on my 2020 Rebel... they welded a cross support from the mounting plate to the step assembly...it blocks the exhaust...now WTF do I do?? ****Edited***** Slapping myself in the forehead...origami yup. It's installed thanks for the video.
I used an impact wrench to get the 2 bolts out super easy and I never disconnected the harness but it was a bitch to do. I tried but the little red tab on the connector flew out from the top.

This will NOT fit a 2019 Ram even though they claim it will. Perhaps my 5.7 SLT is too plain. The bolt holes do not line up and the hole for the little "temp holding stick/ball" does not exist in my frame/subframe. So, I pulled off the whole bumper and subframe, (8 bolts) cut off the ball/stick thingy. clamped it on the subframe with Vicegrips and welded it into place. Meh, it works fine, hangs in the correct place and holds my hefty butt. It'l do.
