Auto Glass for Dodge Ram 2500
Dodge first released the Dodge Ram 2500 pickup truck in 1994. With the windows on the front, back, and both sides of the Dodge Ram 2500, you can keep an eye on all your surroundings. If your window breaks, gets scratched, or chips, you can fix or replace your windows or other damaged parts with replacement auto glass.
Where can you use replacement glass on your Dodge Ram?The most substantial piece of glass in your vehicle is the windshield. Any cracks or chips on its surface can interfere with your vision. You can replace the entire windshield instead of getting a simple repair. Other types of glass will work on other openings on the Dodge Ram 2500, including:
- Drivers side: Whether you drive a diesel or an unleaded gas truck, you will have a window on the driver side. New glass will work with models that use a crank handle or a power switch.
- Passengers side: You will also find auto glass designed for use on the passenger side. These pieces fit inside the regulator that sits inside the door and lifts the glass.
- Cab: Crew cabs and other models also have glass on the back side of the cab. You will need to choose between fixed glass and glass that moves. Fixed glass sits on either side of the cab and near the backs of the heads of the driver and passenger. Sliding glass lies in between these windows. It glides along a center track to give you access to the bed and to let fresh air into the cab.
Most auto glass does not come with anything except the glass, but some glass products include instructions. Those instructions feature text and images to show you how to remove your old glass before replacing it. Some cab and sliding glass products will come with a latch that lets you attach it to the track. You may receive a tube of glue or another adhesive with the glass as well. The glue helps permanently hold the glass in place. It also creates a seal to keep wind and water out of your Dodge Ram.
Do you need to know your Ram age or year?You need to know the age of your Ram 2500 because this determines what glass you can use. Dodge considers 1994 through 2002 as the first generation of this truck. The second generation lasted until 2009, and the third generation started in 2010. You will need to compare the generation of your Dodge pickup to the parts to ensure the glass is compatible.
What is Dodge OEM glass?OEM is the abbreviation used for the Original Equipment Manufacturer. Truck and auto OEM glass is glass made by a manufacturer for its vehicles. This glass is only compatible with specific cars or trucks. You cannot use Dodge Ram 2500 glass in a 1500 or vice versa. In addition to Dodge, you will also find replacement glass made by Mopar and other companies.
