Ok here is what I have.......Someone may have to look at theirs to let me know what I am missing. My cupholder doesn't come down slowly, it comes down like a ton of bricks, I have found one little coil spring there but I must be lacking something else, or another spring. If anyone can look at there's and let me know, or point me to a schematic , I know that it is behind the hinged part that connects to the center of the tray when opened. Any help is always appreciated

 

I have a 97 and it has the same cupholder. The little spring is all it is. If it isn't staying level and dropping to low I would add 1 turn to the spring to give it more upward push.

 

I didnt realize I could wind that spring, it has a guide in the back, so I must have to wind it around once. I will give it a try, thanks.

 

ha...i didnt even know it was supposed to come down slowly. mine drops fast unless im holding it, but the truck was detailed before i bought it form the dealer, so i doubt im going to find anything. oh well.

 

yea so does mine... huh..

 

huh. Mines broke right where it connects to the cup holder part. And it sucks too, i hate using the rear cupholders.

 

I have the spring, actually I have 2 because i picked one up at the boneyard yesterday off a departed Ram, I can't believe thats the only thing providing support for that tray

 

I tried to wind spring, after it gave way twice on my finger, i said screw it, im just gonna look for a stiffer spring.
