[Mobile-Portable] Coax entry point into new RAM 1500 Quad cab?

[N1KHB at aol.com]

I hate rust, so just as an added precaution when drilling car  body parts, 
I always paint the newly exposed raw metal with something, almost  anything 
to prevent rust cuz once rust starts, it's harder to stop. Grab most  
anything handy, even "borrow" a little nail polish from a YL. A wrong color may  
not even be seen and in any case is still better than rust. Probably more  
important for those of use in northern climes where road salt is used, but 
still  a good idea no matter where the vehicle is used. Did I mention my 
dislike for  rust? Just let whatever you use a few minutes of drying time before 
dragging  cables through the hole.
   Just my 20,000 microdollars, YMMV, FWIW, and so  on.
 
Best,
Sonny N1KHB

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
