[Duner] : I was afraid I was going to go too fast and scare myself. Lucky for me - the DA rose up to save me.
[Kotta390] : Oh that's right! Well FML.....Looks like I am getting shafted because of my bore size
[BlakDak71] : I don't run oil, I run a special blend consisting of Hellman's mayo and the tears of a pregnant mermaid
[Kotta390] : My electric water pump puts out too much fuel at idle and is not a variable pump which makes it overheat in the summer at idle if I sit too long
[KotaRT] : Ed, you can have cake, as long as I get something in return

Oh!
I just remembered another small detail.
The V8 Magnum badges were actually available in 2 styles. The original had 2 pins that went through the fender, and the fenders had the holes pre-drilled for this. The 00? and later trucks did NOT have the holes in the fenders, and there were no locating pins on the back of the emblem.
I also believe that there were two different Rams head badges for the hood emblem. I will have to go back and look at my original and a couple of the replacement ones I have. But I think the replacement ones ( after 00 maybe? ) had the more angular styled RAM head with red lettering at the bottom, while the earlier ones were a little more detailed but with less relief in them, and silver dodge lettering.

Not sure if this is a year change or just a RC vs. a CC thing. I have a front sway bar from a 2000 that is a larger diameter than my RC bars, but the 2000 is hollow vs. the solid RC bar.....

I have owned my truck for 14 years and know every inch of it. But every time I come to this forum I learn something new about it. Thanks to all for the info.

Never heard of that....
Just so you know, my truck was manufactured 12/99, and I have the 'new style' radiator setup. Pretty sure that change started at the beginning of the '00 production run, not later on through it.
Also, trans tunnel was changed, so the center consoles of a 98/99 won't fit a '00 and vice-versa.
Also don't think it was mentioned, but IIRC, the trans casing was changed in '01, I think it was narrowed...so you could put a newer trans in an older truck (physically), but not an older trans in a newer truck.

My 99 was built 8 of 98 does that seem early or about right?
