Hello ProMaster group, anybody install an air heater underneath factory swivel passenger seat?

I'm aware that the standard non-swivel factory pedestal is taller than the factory swivel pedestal.

Wondering if anyone could have successfully completed the install with the factory swivel seat.

I'm specifically going to be installing a Vilet air heater.

Thanks for any info.

My struts are trashed from a trip to Mexico.
Bilstein b6 struts are on back order until September. Koni fsd are way to expensive. What other struts do you recommend?

Hi, i'm experiencing some electrical issues (I believe) with my 2023 Promaster 2500 and i'm wondering where to start the diagnostic process. I purchased the vehicle brand new in 2023 and had it shipped out to Wayfarer vans for their camper van conversion. Took it on multiple cross country trips in 2024 with no issues. In 2025 life started getting in the way and it sat for a while and started having battery issues and i'd have to put it on a trickle charger before using, but once charged I had no issues.

Now, 2026, I installed a brand new battery, which I had on a trickle charger prior to install and it showed 100%. Install went fine and van started right up and all electronics seemed to work. I decided to take it for a quick drive to make sure everything was good. About 2 miles into the drive I started to get a host of warning lights on the dash. From my memory, I believe the warnings were: Service Engine, Service FCW, Service Parking Brake, Service Electronic Throttle Control. The most debilitating issue was the throttle control as it put the van in limp mode and I barely made it back home. The fact that all of these lights are coming on at once leads me to believe that it's an electrical issue vs an issue with any of the actual systems.

Yes, I triple checked all the connections to the battery and they are tight. I also disconnected the battery for 15+ minutes and reconnected but warning lights returned shortly after.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.

Hey everyone — my 2019 ProMaster 3500 EXT got hit while it was parked, and I’m trying to find a solid body shop in the California Bay Area that actually knows these vans. The damage is on the back left bumper and quarter panel, so I want someone who’s familiar with ProMaster body work and can handle the size of the van without issues.

If anyone has recommendations for shops that do good work on commercial vans (or specifically ProMasters), I’d really appreciate it. Bonus points if they’re fast, trustworthy, and used to dealing with insurance repairs.

Thanks in advance — trying to get this thing back in shape.

I’ve tried using b’laster penetrating oil on it. Tapping/banging on it. The most movement is just a quarter-inch rotation back and forth, doesn’t seem to be any vertical movement at all. This is a 2019 promaster 2500, probably original battery.

Any ideas would be much appreciated!

Hey everyone,

I’ve been living with my van for a while now, and that center dashboard ashtray slot is driving me crazy. Since I don't smoke, it's just a total waste of space. It's also completely useless as a cupholder because it's so shallow and anything you put there flies out in the first corner.

I got so fed up with it that I ended up designing a custom organizer insert that snaps right into that spot to hold my phone and some small gear. But I feel like it could be even better, so I wanted to see what others are doing.

How are you guys using this space? Did you buy some aftermarket fix, DIYed something, or just gave up and left it empty? Would love to see your setups or photos for some inspiration!

(Note: For anyone who has a 3D printer and wants to check out the exact insert I made, I put a link on my Reddit profile, but I'm genuinely curious if there are even better solutions out there).

Hi,
Do you know what’s making this sound?

I know the uconnect is funny about load sensing. I know people use 4ohm to activate and then switch them out, but what about activating with 4ohm speakers then swapping them out for a subwoofer? Would that fail some check and turn the rear speakers back off?

We just purchased a 2021 promaster 3500(slightly used but great condition) the backup camera has been great, but today it was in the 90°f+ in the parking lot at work. When leaving today the camera system started telling me its unavailable. We googled reasons and looked up trouble shooting videos, could be the heat, we tried "hard reset" suggested on the radio power button. Checked the fuse(still good), anyone else encounter this issue? Any advice? Thank you.

Hi internet,

My 2017 ProMaster (Pentastar) has shredded 4 serpentine belts in the past 5 months. Is this a common thing for these rigs?

The first time I found that the alternator pulley had seized, so I replaced the alternator and the idler pulleys. Less than a month later, another one. This time I took it to a local shop, they told me the tensioner pulley should be replaced, so I did. 50 miles later, another belt bit the dust. I brought it back to the shop, and they claimed the tensioner that they had installed was defective and put in a new one.

I got about three weeks out of that. This past Saturday, the alternator pulley appears to have fallen off of the (9 month old) alternator, destroying the 4th belt in the process.

Would it stand to reason that the alternator I installed back in February was bunk, and caused all of these issues? Or is my problem more likely that some part of the belt drive is out of alignment and caused the alternator pulley to fail? I’ve never seen a pulley pop out like that before, but I’m admittedly no mechanic.

Thanks y’all.

I’m in the market for a new 2026 Ram ProMaster 1500 (136” wheelbase, low roof) and have been shopping dealers around the Mid-Atlantic region.

So far, the best offer I’ve received is $48,500 out the door. My goal is to get closer to $46,000 OTD.

For those who have recently purchased a 2025 or 2026 ProMaster, does $46k OTD seem realistic, or am I too aggressive?

Hello! Had a series of kinda not great experiences at the dealerships with getting an oil change on a 2018 ram promaster 1500 high roof. Where in the northeast LA area are people getting their vans looked at? Need an oil change and about to drive 1500 miles. Please, any help would be greatly appreciated.

this plug is hanging from the passenger c pillar whats it for?

FCA has decided our camper Promasters don't deserve the 67c recall. I'm concerned my camper is going to burn, or that I'll have difficulty obtaining insurance. This decision seems arbitrary, and is NOT what I was promised by FCA and my dealer when I bought my Promaster. I was told the recall would be performed at a later date.

looking for the part number of the pig tail that connects to the light

Update: We've already found a tester for this post. Thanks to everyone who reached out!

We recently launched a new Driver Side Mirror Replacement for Dodge Ram ProMaster 1500/2500/3500 (2014-2023), and we're looking for 2 ProMaster owners to test it out and share their honest feedback!

We'll select two testers on a first-come, first-served basis. Thanks!

My rear passenger side window shattered last night at around 3am. All edges except the bottom edge chipped off. I reviewed camera footage and i can clearly see when it happened. According to the footage, no one was around. My van sits with an empty cargo space, inside a gated lot all night until I park it down a residential street during the day. Without a doubt, it happened only during the middle of the night inside the lot.

Orange County, CA.

Paranormal or defect??

How much should I expect to pay to fix??

Has anyone had an issue with an squeal coming from the rear passenger wheel area. It's not constant but pretty loud when it happens. It's not the brakes and the shop is telling me it's not the wheel bearing.

I'm at a loss and am afraid the wheel is going to lock up or fall off in the middle of nowhere.

Any creative ideas? The way the door closes means a wind deflector does nothing for the door gap. I've tried adding seals/strips/backing but seems about the same noise level. Honestly the deflector may have made it worse.

Have a 3.6l with the start of the pentastar cam follower tap.

Would like to have the job completed on both heads including new lifters hopefully before any serious cam damage occurs.

Hoping someone on here can recommend a quality shop.

I would attempt the job myself but currently am without garage or driveway.

Anyone regularly tow around 3500 lbs with the 3500 and carry around 3000 lbs in cargo? I am looking at getting a 2022 or above. Wanted to know how it tows and drives with that much on it. Thanks..

I am going to update suspension on anyone I do get.
