My sincere thanks to the many which provided valuable and useful
suggestions.
And Glenn, thank you for the tip on the floor plug, plus I would
appreciate the pictures of your firewall penetration. They would likely
prove to be helpful.
Regards,
Ray, W4BYG

> Hey Ray, I have a 2015 Ram 2500 4x4. If you pull back the carpet ( just pop out the plastic retainers) under the drivers side rear seat,you will find a plastic plug that also pops out. Just notch the plug enough to pass the coax through, replace the plug with RTV orother silicone type sealant around the coax entry and your done. Don't forget to tye wrap the cable to a frame to prevent coax droopunder the truck. Your done!For the power leads, there is a plastic plug just next to the brake cylinder on the firewall, carefully drill a shallow 3/8s inch (or larger)hole. Check out the clearance of any wiring harness by looking at the plates location above the brake peddle behind the instrument cluster.I have wired up several Dodge trucks, they make it easy! I can send you photos if needed of the installation. Glenn NQ5X
