A couple of up grades to my 2014 3500

[tony1461571]

I'm planning on putting a couple things that I got from Geno's. 1. CONDENSER GUARD ('10-'16, 6.7L) 2. QUICK GRILLE RELEASE KIT ('10-'16). What I'm looking for is anyone that has put these on their truck. With ether a video or good up to date instructions on how to install these parts. I have looked but haven't found anything on it yet. Oo.

Instruction for both items are available on Geno's Site. SNOKING

Hi all I need some help I'm putting a QUICK GRILLE RELEASE KIT ('10-'16) on my 2014 3500 if you could call me it would be a big help I'm stuck at the part on step 5 removing the metal clips don't want to mess up anything.

Thanks Tony1461571

Thanks again Joe for the help. Now anybody have a 2014 that you put the QUICK GRILLE RELEASE KIT ('10-'16) on your truck. Did you remove all four of the clips if so is there any movement in the grill. I see where the two top pins would go where and how do you use the other two pins I would love any pics to show would pin placement.

Why is that Don?

 

[DonFitzwater]

Why is that Don?

Because I prefer to run the Genos garage winter front for 4th gens over the factory winter front. It does a much better job of sealing off airflow in extreme cold than the mopar brand. Also, the mopar winter front will affect outside temperature during low speed operation. Another benefit of the Genos front is that it doesn't cause abrasion to the grill or the front bumper. The mopar version must be removed and washed periodically to combat this.

The release kit also makes cleaning the grill and everything under it much easier.

I'm not following you on this?

I think he is talking at the displayed outside temperature! SNOKING

The outdoor temp sensor on my '15 is the driver's side mirror. What was the last year of it behind the grill?

2012....to the best of my knowledge.

 

[DonFitzwater]

Ha! Learn something new every day. I assumed my 2014 had temp sender behind the grill like my 2010 did and did the covercraft install vs using the Mopar. I just went to the garage and looked and it is most certainly mounted in the mirror. Thanks for the info!

Well got the condenser guard and the Quick release kit on my truck. They do work good and put the grill back on without the 4 push pin fasteners. seems stable at the bottom. Don't know if anyone has had the grill off on a 2014 and didn't have the fasteners bust off, so how did you get the fasteners. No auto parts stores have them and dodge dealer they could not find a part number for them. He then went up found a grill and they were in there duh. So I asked him do they have a whey to get them he says there all sealed in the kit with the other hardware. He did give me the four of them out of the bag after I complained my truck is down how am I going to get it back together. Anybody find them somewhere to buy them each.

 

[DonFitzwater]

Are you just talking about the plastic push pins?

 

[tony1461571]

Yes all 4 busted off or twisted real bad these are the new ones I got from the dealer AutoZone NAPA and a few other places didn't have them. And like I said dealer parts man only found them in a hardware package for the grill

 

[tony1461571]

On the 4 push pins. I did contact Dodge customer care about the push pins. Ant this the response I just received.
