RAM trucks dominate the South Bay construction and trade industry. The RAM 1500 is the second-best-selling truck in the US, and the heavy-duty 2500 and 3500 are workhorses for Bay Area plumbers, electricians, concrete contractors, and landscape companies. Losing a RAM key means losing a work day — so we prioritize fast, on-site response for every RAM call we get.

RAM Trucks Use the Same FCA Platform as Dodge — With Key Differences

RAM vehicles share the FCA (Fiat Chrysler Automobiles) platform with Dodge, meaning the core Sentry Key Immobilizer Module (SKIM) is the same architecture. However, RAM fob codes are different from Dodge Charger/Challenger fobs, and the BCM (Body Control Module) has truck-specific calibrations that require RAM-specific OBD-II protocols.

Common RAM fob types: GQ4-53T (RAM 1500 2019+), OHT1056EP (RAM 1500 2015–2018), M3N-40821302 (RAM 2500/3500 2020+). We carry all of these.
