RAM 3500 HD Truck 2WD L6-6.7L DSL Turbo (2008)
The lower anchors (2) for all vehicles (except light-duty DR 1500 standard cab) are integral to their respective front or rear seat cushion frame. Round
markers (3) with an imprinted child seat icon on the standard cab front seat back trim cover helps identify the anchor locations for that application
because they may be otherwise difficult to see with the seat back in the upright position. These lower anchors are each constructed from round steel bar
stock that is formed into a U-shape, then securely welded at each end to the seat cushion frame. They are each accessed from the front of their respective
seats, at each side where the seat back meets the seat cushion. These lower anchors cannot be adjusted or repaired and, if ineffective or damaged, they
must be replaced as a unit with the seat cushion frame.
On quad cab or mega cab vehicles, if the rear seat lower anchors (2) have been bent or broken as a result of a vehicle collision, the latch for the affected
rear seat cushion frame unit must also be replaced.
WARNING: To avoid serious or fatal injury during and following any seat belt or child restraint anchor service, carefully inspect all seat belts,
buckles, mounting hardware, retractors, tether straps, and anchors for proper installation, operation, or damage. Replace any belt that is cut,
frayed, or torn. Straighten any belt that is twisted. Tighten any loose fasteners. Replace any belt that has a damaged or ineffective buckle or
retractor. Replace any belt that has a bent or damaged latch plate or anchor plate. Replace any child restraint anchor or the unit to which the
anchor is integral that has been bent or damaged. Never attempt to repair a seat belt or child restraint component. Always replace damaged or
ineffective seat belt and child restraint components with the correct, new and unused replacement parts listed in the DaimlerChrysler
Mopar(R) Parts Catalog.
