Winch bumper that works with EcoD?

[WXman]

Anybody found any winch bumpers that will fit with the new EcoDiesel and not interfere with the intercooler?

I apologize if I've already posted this. Can't remember if I had or not.

I'd like one too. The only prolem is with a Loaded EcoD, once you put a winch bumper and the winch on you have no payload left. Don't even consider skid plates.

Yeah, I got lucky and went the Bighorn route. I still have offroad suspension, locker, heated seats, heated steering wheel, 8.4" screen, remote start, power rear glass, huge console, basically all the goodies....but my payload is still nearly 1,700 lbs. It works out pretty good that way. So even with the winch I'd still have 1,500 lbs. of payload left, which affords me decent towing.

They claim it isn't compatible with the ECO-Diesel (at this time).

The bumper will fit. You just cant install a decent sized winch in it because the intercooler is in the way. The only options are to make a bumper that sits forward a foot more or use a cut down intercooler or remote mount the intercooler.

A hood mounted intercooler with functional sport hood vents and an electric fan would be a pretty cool mod.

Add my name to the list interested in this as well. Go Rhino has a front bumper that their support told me a few months back would work for the ED and winch. It's exactly like mentioned above, in that it sticks forward a bit. I was hoping for something more like a stealth fighter personally. Or swapping to a rebel bumper on my laramie and using a hidden bumper kit..

I wrote to the guys at ADD as I wanted to install their bumper on my truck. They said it would not fit because or the intercooler

I`m new to these forums .Been looking for an affordable winch mount system for my 2020 ram .I was told the 57-93975 Westin HDX WINCH MOUNT GRILL fits the new style Ram 1500`s but it would not fit my 2020 Ram sport laramie ecodiesel because and I quote,"Sorry, it will not fit the eco diesel. Our guards exclude the eco diesel bc of the oil cooler interferes with the mounting. ..After exhausting all other options,I ordered it anyway and figured I could give it a try anyways.. I got the tray mounted exactly like the instructions said..Now the oil cooler mounting bracket bolt is where this little angle bracket goes and is a tight fit to remove bolt,then place angle bracket and put bolt back in but other than that, got carrier bolted in and torqued..Tomorrow I put grill guard on..Now,my question is,do other rams have that same cooler behind where the winch will sit? Worried about not enough air getting through to cooler..

I am also interested in a winch mount for my new Ram 1500 Ecodiesel. Let us know how your installation worked out and show us some pictures.

Did you finish the installation of your grill guard, winch, and winch mount? Would love to see some pics.

I have been looking at the same one. Only one that seems to fit. Is your truck a 2021 Laramie Ecodiesel?

 

[saylor]

well that would be because you have a 5.7 that doesn't have a intercooler. this is the ecodiesel sub forum.

I have a fab four on my 2020 ram limited ecodiesel. I had a very difficult time due to the ecodiesel seeming to need the active airflow damn. The check engine came on when removed. The air damn system had to be moved and reconnected to keep the truck from throwing a code. It seems unpluggi the active air damn on the hemi trucks is fine, but not with the diesel. I have a fab four with bull bar. The forward park sensors are a little screwy now, but I leave them off. I also have a warn 10,000 zeon 10s platinum winch mounted.
