anyone know where i can find a 98-01 cup holder. dark grey? i just put a post in the wanted to buy section. figured since its 2nd gen, it would be a good idea to post here too.

i really only need the hingepeice that folds the cup holder down

 

The hinge section on my cupholder was "broken" when I bought the truck 3 years ago. There was a crack in the hinge assembly and the cup holder would flop all the way to the floor whenever a cup was placed in it. I called the dealer and got sticker shock when I priced a new cup holder for over $100!

So being the cheap (and usually resourceful) bastard that I am, I simply installed some beaded chain with eyelets on each end and screwed it all in place. It all folds up when not in-use just like it's supposed to and I never have to worry about any drink being too heavy for it.

thanks for the reply. looks likethats what illhave to do for a little while till i can find a new one.

 

Why buy a new one? Have you priced what a new one costs? I've even watched these things go for nearly $75 on Ebay!!!! [sm=insomnia.gif]

I was lucky and able to get the material from work for free, but the whole investment would have cost less than $5 at any hardware store.

 

it drives me insane to know that something is broken. even if i cant see it.

 

I picked one up at a boneyard for less than $50.

 

Dunno, is this the kind you need:

97 Dodge Ram dash cup holder

If so, I would keep looking on ebay for a 'Buy Now' item.
Sooner or later, one will pop around at the right price.
I just bought the OEM radio cassette for $40 w/ shipping, so just keep looking and check back often.

Also as a general rule, '94 - '02 Dodge Ram 1500 / 2500 / 3500

 

thanks for the effort topsites. glideman has the one that i need posted. i need the infinity door speaker too.

 

I just replaced my Infinity 6x9 door speakers last weekend because one was blown and I replaced them with some Pioneers that I bought at Best Buy.

But I kept the othergoodInfinity speaker(minus the amp). It issitting on a shelf and probably will only collect dust and not get used again.

PM me if you're interested

 

thank you glideman. installed speaker and it works great. so happy that my music finally sounds right.

also... i couldnt have shipped it to myself quicker than you got that to me! i appreciate it.
