    Default Differences in Dakota R/T years

    Ok guys, I need a little advice. I recently sold my 99 Dakota r/t cc (because I've really wanted a RC for some time now lol). I found a really clean blue 01 Dakota r/t RC that I'm planning to look at and buy this week. My question is: What are the main differences and things to look out for on an 01 vs 99? Thanks in advance for any advice/help

    The biggest changes are the interior. Other stuff, like.... No V8 magnum badges on the fenders and no under hood insulation. Also chrome wheels were available and potentially the stampede option. After that it will be all the normal "Old vehicle" issues like, Trans, suspension, rear, .......

    '10 B5 blue pearl Challenger R/T Classic edition. Totaled!!! FML!!!

    Isn't there a difference in rear end gears?

    I believe from 00+ the harmonic balancer and crank pulley are pressed together as a single unit instead of the 6-bolt 2 piece. Needs a 3 jaw puller to remove.
