I’m having issues with this truck lmao. The truck is definitely a heritage and I know that just from buying parts and working on it myself. Simple things like the oil filter prove it. That was the way I first found out. I changed the oil and got a regular filter and it was half the size. I found out it was a heritage and needed an xl filter and the dealership didn’t even know and I don’t see it anywhere. I was also told the trick about it seeing if your door armrest is flat or had a bump and mine is flat. But the body isn’t from the generation before like it’s supposed to be? I have the new body style but have to buy heritage parts and it has the heritage features. I’m trying to look around and research to find out why I might just be confused but someone in here can hopefully help
.
And like stated before , I’ve had to take parts back for heritage parts multiple times.
If you have a 11th gen 4.6, there were two diff available engines (Romeo/Windsor), and they had different oil filters. So they likely selected the wrong filter for you (and didn’t ask/clarify which you needed).

okay that might be the situation. Are you saying the parts store selected the wrong part and didn’t clarify? And how would that explain the trick with the door arm rest? I thought they said anytime you have a flat arm rest it’s a heritage and the new ones have a 2 inch hump or something close?

If you want specific answers, provide specific details. You haven’t said what engine you have, nor have you identified which filters fit va didn’t fit. Also; your initial post/pic clearly shows the two versions….. you should be able to tell from that alone. If not, then as already suggested…. Post up some pics of your actual truck.

There is no arm rest trick. If it is the 97-03 body but is an 04 model year, it is a heritage. If it is an 04-08 body, it is not a heritage. They called it the heritage because it was the old body style with a new model year out. Ram did the same thing in 18 (or 19) when they changed the body and called it a ram "classic", but they kept it going for several years because they sold incredibly well.

If the silver truck in your post above is yours it is not a Heritage since that is a Gen 11 but it sounds like you need to decode your VIN so you know which motor it has.
Yes I have the 4.6 engine and I think the filter that didn’t fit was the s2 stp filter and they told me I needed the s2xl and said that it was because I had the heritage. Maybe because it also uses the same one?But it seems like it’s just like the guy said above with this 4.6 having 2 different motors and I just need to find the one I have. That would be something the parts people most likely didn’t know and I don’t either. I will research more into that now
