Bend chassis frame

[tcernovas]

Hi guys, i bought 2019 RAM 1500 Laramie at the iaai auction and it showed that it has bend frame. After close inspection at the workshop the is to change the frame. I started to look after spare one and it showed that there is a lot of frame which looks same but has different part number. My question is does part number matters in that case? By the way i live in Europe so its a bit complicated to get information and even find knowledgeable mechanic.

Yes, part number can and will make a difference. Should be able to look up parts for your truck based off the VIN to help narrow it down.

i'd say the best way to find a dealer in US and call in and ask with your VIN. they should be able to look it up for you.
pretend you want to buy and ask for a price, just so you have an idea and they're more willing to help.
