OEM Upfitter Switches on 2023 2500 Limited w Reverse Trailer Steering???

[Buck76Duster]

My 2024 3500 says it has auxiliary switch prep, but I also got the tow technology plus package. What do you get with the aux prep package? Is everything there BUT the switches (obviously the aux switches won’t be there because the tow steering knob is there)?

Mine is a 2024 2500 Megacab Laramie. I do want to keep the trailer steering, though. The Aux switch prep package on mine is 3 relays with all the chassis wiring and no factory means of controlling it (STUPID). My dream would be for Tazer or someone similar to enable the aux switch control through the Uconnect 5 head unit. Mostly, I love the new truck. It's a glorious upgrade from my 2017 1500 Ecodiesel, which I also loved.

Those 3 relays are for the cabin heaters in the diesel trucks.

Nothing to do with Aux switches other than the AUX PDC is present in all diesel trucks.

Thanks for the info on the cabin heaters. I'll have to check with my dealer and find what I was charged for with "Auxiliary Switch Prep". I hate paying for stuff that's almost really cool, if only it did something.

Because all 23+ trucks have the "left dash harness" wiring for the AUX switches.

Admittedly, I'm not sure this applies to Powerwagon as they were always excluded from AUX due to the wiring for lockers.

Hmm, on my Rebel I had the option of aux switches or winch. I went with the winch, but now you’ve got me curious if the wiring is there somewhere.

Do you have the rear locker?

All Rebels have the rear locker, even those that opted for aux switches.

Are the Rebel E-Lockers a limited slip differential when not electrically engaged?

If they are what type of limited slip differential is it geared or friction disks/plates?

It’s the same locker that’s in the PW: helical limited slip when unpowered.
