So I have a black 01 3.9 5 speed with 122000 original miles the factory cup holder down around the gear shifter. My problem lies in the adjustable part of the holder, its broke. I'd really like to replace this panel, because I take great pride in how my truck and how it still looks new. Anyway to my question. Does anyone make replacement parts for this? What I've been able to find isn't the right holders please help thanks in advance

Would you be able to take a picture of what's broken? I might be able to 3D print you one

It is the factory floor console slide adjustable cup holder on the drivers side. I'm thinking it was only on the stick shifts.Sorry I' not real computer literate I wish I was I don't have a cell or anything to take a pic with Sorry

This is a dash console, not a floor console, this type cup holder is famous for breaking

I found this also, but it is for the 3rd Generation truck

Based on that picture above, can you take point out which pieces is broken?

 

[GTyankee]

i don't know for sure, but it looks like the 1994 - 2001 cup holder is close to what they used in the 2002 - 2006

how to remove

Thanks for the extra videos GT.

01Dtdriver, from these videos and images, can you point out what is broken?

 

[01Dtdriver]

None of those are the right cup holder it was installed on 98-01 manual shift trucks. 2wd and 4wd models both. my truck is 2wd so there is 3 cup holders two are adjustable and one is a smaller stationary cup holder. the stationary one is on passenger side kinda forward, the "passenger adjustable one is closer to the seat and the drivers adjustable one is the broken one on my truck. its a insert piece. from what I've found out, it (the drivers side cup holder) would be replaced with the 4wd shifter (on 4wd models). there are a couple of them on ebay for sale one is $150 one is $274 but I don't need the whole thing just the drivers side adjustable holder that is the insert.
Thanks

Can you link to the ones you saw on eBay?

 

[01Dtdriver]

I hope I do/did this right the piece I need is the "drivers side insert" that's all. This one has broken teeth like mine. https://www.ebay.com/itm/98-01-Dodge-Ram-1500-5-6-Speed-Manual-Floor-Shifter-Cup-Drink-Holder-Console/192844477082?epid=1525411709&hash=item2ce66d329a:g:AKcAAOSwGWJcKkl4:sc:USPSPriority!65802!US!-1:rk:17:pf:0
thanks for any help

I just wanted to add I should have said fingers (I think that would be a more correct term) the fingers that would hold the cup when the adjuster is made to fit the cup size

 

[GTyankee]

Geez, those parts must be made of gold

[01Dtdriver]

yea and I've checked several repro parts places and I can't even seem to find anyone who has that particular cup holder much less just the insert I need.:sad:. If anyone knows where I can find one I would much appreciate the info:smileup:

 

[stardude900]

Ok so you need this piece?

 

[GTyankee]

I think he said the drivers side holder
The one that is missing here

On some Rams, there is a HIGH/LOW range shifter in that empty hole
On others it has what appears to be a cup holder in the empty hole

 

[stardude900]

Okay but again, do you need the whole thing or just the part that slides in and out? If it's just the part that slides in and out and the teeth are broken, I can model that and print you a copy or two to test.

 

[01Dtdriver]

yes that's the piece if that's the one that would be in the drivers side insert.

 

[01Dtdriver]

I really need just the slide piece with the teeth/fingers

Hello 01Dtdriver,

I have a 98 Ram 1500 with the manual transmission and the same cup holders, had the same issue. Several years ago I wasn't able to find the sliding piece with the fingers by itself but I was able to find the whole insert that goes in on the driver side. I had bought two since I needed the same part for the passenger cup holder.

Check here for part numbers based on your interior color: https://parts.lithiachryslermedford.com/v-1998-dodge-ram-2500--base--5-9l-v8-gas/body--front-console. Item number 5 is what I purchased.

These guys may have a couple in agate: https://www.rearcounter.com/5EZ53LAZ-parts924325.html
