    About 30 bucks usually. You can also find them in the junkyard randomly.

    I had a wanted ad on here for awhile and ended up going to the junkyard to scrounge one up. That and the gear indicator in the gauge cluster (99) were basically the last few trinkets my truck needed for me to consider the stick swap 100% complete.

    Is there a change in the column shroud when the dash changed?

    I see it listed for 01 and up. Did the older trucks have manuals available? I don't know if it changed or not.

    I believe they were with the 2.5, 3.7, and 5.2

    Can't say one way or the other. If you want to order one and test it and if it doesn't work I will buy it for the cost you originally paid. That way you can find out. If it works, keep it.

    I would be willing to do that.
    Is there one that has your attention more than any other?

    If it didn't work for my 99, I will pay the shipping to you.

    I just went out and checked my column shift cover. At first look the hazard lights switch is in a different location and is square. The newer style cover isn't going to work.
