Locking Gas Cap

[Randy U]

Sorry if this has already been posted.
We have had some recent gas siphoning going on in my neighborhood.

Anyone know where to order a locking gas cap for the 2019 RAM bighorn new body?

I looked on the Mopar website but didn’t have any luck. Thanks in advance everyone.

I have 2019 1500 Longhorn Classic, here's Mopar part no.

Part Number​	Part Name​	Price​	Quantity​	Total​
5278655AB​	Locking Gas Cap​	$22.39​	1​	$22.39​

A regular syphon will not work due to the design. That is why Ram includes a special funnel for emergency filling.

Oh wow, that's what that is for? LOL

This will not work on the 5th gen gas filler. It states Longhorn Classic, 2019 4th gen truck.

Looks like a locking cap is being developed for the 2019+ Ram CTDs.

Interesting stuff: BEM Auto.

One does NOT need a siphon to contaminate a fuel tank via the unlocked fuel cap/door feature.
Lots of folks running around late evening with nothin constructive to do with their time.

….just sayin.

Found my gas door open one morning ...damn neighborhood teenagers. Just hoped they didn't put anything into the tank

Did you go through the carwash the day before? I've read on here a drive-through carwash with brushes can have enough force to pop open the door.

I made a thread about this cap a couple weeks ago.

Has anyone tried one of these locking gas caps?

Did a quick search but didn't find anything about this. Just wondering if anyone has tried one. Someone on another forum posted about a locking gas cap for 2019 and 2020 gasoline powered Ram 1500's. First one I've seen. Maybe it's old news, but I'm thinking about trying it...

The general consensus was that at $60 it's too expensive. I'm thinking $60 is good insurance against someone possibly contaminating my fuel supply on a $60k truck. It's been known to happen in my town. Thankfully not my neighborhood though.

Can probably get them cheaper now since it's a year later ..I'm going to do some research later to find one.

Not sure why you're saying it's a year later. I made that thread less than two weeks ago. From what I could find, Geno's is the only place you can get that particular gas cap. I wasn't able to find any others, but I only spent a short amount of time looking. Please let us know if you find anything else out there though.

I meant that for the new body style...which came out over a year ago. I found a few for like $20 on partsgeek.com

 

[Dookie]

I bet they are for 2019 classic or 2019-2020 2500, which again is on the gen 4 platform.

Could be ..they didn't specify but I might order one and take a chance.

Those won't work on your DT. They are for the DS (1500 classic) models.

All of them? Damnit. I need to look at a 2019 DS fuel door and see if they have a gas cap or if it's the same setup as the DT

 

[PowerJrod]

I just emailed Mopar asking them if they make a locking cap or if they know if anyone who does make them...

The DT (5th gen) does not have any threads inside or out at the end of the filler neck.

It is just the filler neck with the capless flap on top (and a small lip on the outside) which is why none of the other locking caps for previous models work.

Any reply from them

Yes...not good news. They basically said no they won't make a locking gas cap and doesn't know anyone that does.... left it at that. Didn't have any other insights about it. I know there's that one company that supposedly sells them for the DT models for around $60...might just have to try that.
