Just purchased a 1998 Ram 1500 4x4 Sport. As always I only received 1 key.

Is there any way I can tell if this truck came with a keyless entry when new?


Thanks, bowler708

email chrysler for a build sheet based upon your vin.

You can go to any dealership and just give them your VIN and they'll be able to tell you on the spot.

Once you find out if you truck has keyless entry, Im in the same situation.

What would be the cheapest way about getting a remote. I figure the dealership would charge atleast a left kidney. Then again i guess they will be the only ones that can program it?

I think they are about $40 at the dealer plus you have to pay about $30 to program. I'm not sure about the 98 and 01, but for the 99 if you have no remotes like myself, the dealer must program at least one. If you have 1 remote, then you can program a 2nd one yourself. There are many different model remotes, so I would advise getting the first one ordered and programmed by the dealer. Then you have the correct part number and can get a 2nd one from ebay.

Still saving for mine and the programming fee.
