I have owned several Dodge and Ram vehicles through the years, but currently have a 2021 Ram Rebel that I purchased used last May with about 31.000 miles. I really like the Rebel, but as always, I can't leave anything alone, so a few modifications and upgrades are already on the list. About the only thing that I really don't like about the truck is the shift knob (dial thing) on the dash and would like to change it over to a console shifter like the GT package has so I will be searching the forum for some information, suggestions to get that done. I've been building and working on cars/trucks all my life so I'm sure it won't be a complicated project once I can find the parts (or a list of parts needed) to do the conversion with OE Mopar parts. I'm looking forward to learning more about the 5th. Gen Rams and checking out other forum members trucks to get more ideas for my Rebel.

Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions you may have while I'm posting questions on the forum!!

Not sure if I'll ever get use to the shift knob . I keep grabbing the the temp ctl knob. I've owned the Laramie 2 months now,it's almost comical!!!

It took me a while to get used to the shift knob. Now it's so natural that when I get in my 3500 HO I reach for the radio knob rather than the shift lever

I'm interested in doing the same thing to my 6.4 HD tradesman. I've swapped the dash and upgrading the seats tomorrow. I've lost the battle with the trx steering wheel and seeking some options to make it happen later. The console is a must for me though. I would really like to add that on. What have you found so far on this shifter conversion???

What progress have you made so far on this conversion? I will be working on this shortly and am also looking everywhere for any info?

Your truck isn't a true 5rh gen, so will be different when trying to do anything. I suggest you check out hdrams.com and see if anyone there has done a TRX swap.
