RAM
Request
Is there a procedure available for replacing the front upper rail/shotgun?
Response
RAM does not have a specific procedure for replacing the front upper rail.
Per the 2015 Ram 1500 body repair manual: "Service assemblies for body components may be disassembled if utilization of the subcomponents is more appropriate to the repair or to reduce vehicle disruption."
