5TH RAM, 1ST HD/Diesel

[capntom52]

I bought a used 2019 Ram 2500 Laramie with a replacement (empty) tailgate, which of course has an issue with the camera/radar being missing. I'm currently trying to work out exactly what parts are required to fix this. So many options not working. I'd greatly appreciate the input from someone more familiar with this issue!
Otherwise, the truck is a god-send!

Welcome aboard. Many a smart here in the trenches of the forum that will get you headed in the right direction. Good luck with the new truck. We like pics.

When I installed a notched tailgate for my fifth wheel, I just purchased the camera and wiring harness from Ram. Tailgate came with a mount. Plug and play.
Now we have a TT so I put the original tailgate back on.

Thanks for the welcome and the input! This replacement tailgate is empty, no wiring, no module, no mounts, nothing. Ram dealer says I'll need the wiring harness from the left fender to the module, a front-facing camera #4672644AJ and the rear radar module. I currently have no cruise, no auto headlights, no collision avoidance, and no rear camera or 360 surround, and I haven't tried the jake brake, so I don't know if that works.
No pics yet, sorry! coming soon!
