As far as I know it's a 4th gen. It's the "old" body style, not the 2019 model year body style. Mine has the security gateway module behind the radio which is a PITA to get to. I bypassed it once to turn on DRLs because the dealers around here told me to go pound sand instead of turning on the damn feature.
The link you'd originally posted had somewhere around 60+ pages that wondered in several directions, I could not find one that indicated a solution had been found.
That’s the main thread (only one) that everyone uses to do the install on a 4th gen. All the info is in it.
Nutshell: you need the tail lights with BSM from a 2019+ Ram HD. If you have tow mirrors, you get the replacement glass for 2019+ Ram HD tow mirrors with the indicators. See posts 91&92 for all the parts to build the harness yourself and all the settings that need to be changed with AlfaOBD. Since you have a 1500, you must get a hold of Roman217 from that thread. He’s the only one that builds the canbus module necessary for the radars to work on a 1500, and he can build the harness for you also.
PM me if you have any specific questions.
I also have a set of red HD tails with BSM available.
