Really appreciate this, driving in the default position is a real drag, with your guide here it took 10 mins and now I do not have to drive with my left arm locked out.
Dude, thank you so much. Just started an IT job a couple weeks ago, driving a ‘23 promaster, and I love everything about the van except the steering wheel position. I have a flat base model of the van, so not having the spring loaded seat to adjust for my weight combined with the lack of maneuverability of the wheel has my whole body aching after an hour of driving. Really appreciate your vid, I’ll be modding this tonight 😅
It appears the u-joint would allow the steering column to come down a lot more if those 2 top studs were longer. 2 coupler nuts would solve that. What do you think?
Nice video! My promasters telescoping wheel lowers itself a small amount every day and by the end of a couple weeks it's bottomed itself out When you had the plastics apart were you able to see a way to Tighten or adjust the telescoping feature?
Did you change your dash air vents from silver to black? The silver one glare on windshield. I want to do something about it, either paint them to black or replaced by black one.
I never understood why they never just added this as a standard feature after it's been suggested numerous times every other company has tilt but not ram.

How is it holding up after all this time?

Brilliant Idea, just purchased my 2018 after an hour of driving I realized how uncomfortable this is. My 2020 ford vans have full tilt…Really Ram !!!
It helps a little bit. It was quite an oversight to not have tilt steering on these.

I don't think I can recommend that but I would probably try it on my own van.
@@JackofAllMasterofNone Exactly the answer I was looking for. Thank you for the reply, sir!

Unfortunately I did not pay attention to that mechanism. I'm sure something is just loose though.
How much tilt did you actually get? (hard to tell from the video) I love this mod. How are you liking it after a year?
Sold the van. It worked fine the time I had it. It only lowers it slightly but every little bit helps

No what I have is how it came from the factory
So you definitely lose the telescopic feature after this mod correct?
No. Works fine

Yep. Made for a horrible driving position.
Because it's an Italian van, Italians are short people and have the seat close to the wheel.
