Adding an OEM transfer-case skid plate

[AH64ID]

Just wanted to share the part numbers for adding a factory skid plate.

The skid plate package was $100+, as it has a universal cross member for all trucks. The diesel trucks do not need the cross member, as the DEF tank sits on a robust cross member that holds the skid plate.

What you need is

1 ea: 68089777AB
4 ea: 6509896AA

I got them at my local Ram parts department for a grand total of $47.05.

Not a bad price. Do you have a picture of it installed? I thought my truck had this skid plate.

I did the same on my 17 less than $50. The dealership could not tell me for sure if I needed the cross member or not but thought I would otherwise they would not sell the cross member well yes but you also sell just the skid plate. I went out and crawled under the truck. For the life of me I could not figure out where another cross member would go and not to mention the existing one had holes in that looked like they would be about right for the skid plate. Went back in and bought the plate and 4 bolts. Drove home and in less than 10 minutes had the skid plate on.
I don't have a pic but if there is a skid plate down there then that is it, certain truck options include the skid plate like the snowplow prep group and the protection group unsure if there are any others but think it is just those two options that include it.
