For any Active Safety Group-equipped Ram 2500 where the total reaches $720–$1,500, your comprehensive coverage almost certainly covers the full job — glass and calibration — with little or no out-of-pocket cost. The 2500's large windshield makes insurance filing even more worthwhile than on smaller trucks. We handle claims directly with all major carriers.

| Active Safety Feature | Uses Windshield Camera? | Affected by Replacement? |
|---|---|---|
| Forward Collision Warning Plus | Yes | Camera angle may shift |

Ram requires calibration after every windshield replacement on Active Safety Group-equipped vehicles. We always inform customers of this clearly.
The good news for many Ram 2500 owners: if you have a Tradesman or Big Horn without the camera, there is no ADAS to calibrate — it's a straightforward glass-only replacement at the lower price point.
Our recommendation: If your 2500 has Active Safety Group and you have comprehensive insurance, always calibrate — cost is covered entirely. If paying cash, we recommend calibration on any ADAS-equipped 2500. If warning lights appear after a non-calibrated job, bring it back and we'll calibrate at cost.
Your VIN is critical on the Ram 2500 — it's the only way to confirm cab configuration, ADAS equipment, and exact glass part number.
The 17-character VIN on your dashboard or door jamb tells us everything — cab type (Regular, Crew, Mega), Active Safety Group equipment, and exact glass part number. One number, one call, done.
