lol.. that seems to be the way it works, the guys with the floor shift wish it was on the column while we want it on the floor.

wait. what?
haha that sounds about right. were the connectors for both shifters the same? the 15+ still have the manual shift buttons on the side of the shifter, correct?

No, both shifters have entirely different connectors. The column shift uses half the wires that the floor shift uses...but both have the tow/haul/sport button as well as the +/-

man, to be honest if I could convert my 2014 King Ranch to a column shift and have a factory cubby or something to put in place of my console shifter, I would be all over it. I know it's not exactly how most people feel about this, but I think Ram nailed it with the dial shifter because an automatic doesn't really need anything more than that, and what I've got takes up so much space. but, I know that's my opinion and my opinion is usually not the popular one haha. either way, very cool DIY. I love seeing what some of you guys have done with interchanging OEM parts on the 2015 trucks.

I had to change my original wiring harness to one that was compatible to the wiring for the floor shifter, but after that it was plug and play so FORScan was not needed for that.

I hate my column shifter and I would kill to have a shifter in my console. Can you give me a list of part #s that I would need to pull this project off? What was the reason you changed the dash?
