Central Locking

[JOHNFAK]

How do you enable/add central locking to a 2nd gen that didnt come from factory ?

Central locking? like a differential locker?

[Wild and Free]

Are you talking about the CAD "Central axle disconnect" on the front axle? If you have one without it I would consider yourself lucky and not want to add it.:shrug:You would have to swap out the whole front axle and then add a manual disconnect cable versus adding all the vacuum apparatus.

Sorry guys - figured you all understood my spanglish .......... I mean central door FOB locking .......... for locking the doors via FOB

Add an alarm with door actuators.

Ahh, your just asking about keyless entry... Heres an example: http://www.keyless-remotes.com/servlet/Categories?category=Remotes:Dodge:2001:Ram+Pickup

But I'm thinking you need to have a keyless receiver from factory right ? Not as simple as just adding a fob Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk

I have seen complete kits before for adding key less entry. I would be surprised if the truck came with all but the fob.

[hex0rz]

Ahh! Right... I did not even catch that, haha. I've never heard of these trucks coming with a keyless entry system. You would have to buy an aftermarket kit. It will come with the actuators, brain, remote, etc. Usually around $150, IIRC.

I believe it became an option for the 00 and up trucks. At least my former 00 had one...It would be very nice to have one on my 98 but I think your right John you would have to have a receiver that is integrated into the vehicle to be able to control the locks and alarm and such. JR

My 99 2500 V10 had factory OEM remote keyless entry / alarm system in it.

[mopartechnician]

My 02 didnt have keyless but my 01 does. I cant remember exactly what is needed but it would need the keyless entry module and fobs

[dripley]

My 02 came with the keyless entry as an option.

[flagmanruss]

My 01.5 has it. Sure it was an extra cost option.

My 1990 GMC has an after market alarm with Keyless entry, Motion Sensors (in case I want to leave the windows down and still have the alarm armed and ready), Starter kill and if it was an automatic...remote start

[JOHNFAK]

Might need to find a keyless alarm and entry system .........

[CSM]

My truck has a KARR system. Not great, but not bad either.

I used to borrow a friends 1997 ram and it had the stock keyless entry set up. My 01 doesnt have it though I do have electric locks.
