RE: Any Difference between '00 & '03 5.9 R/T Durango?
The difference between the 2000 and 2003 is primarily the interior. 1998-2000 have the 1st gen interior and 2001-2003 has the 2nd gen interior. Also, the 2nd gen interior may have the newer electronic 4WD selector on the dash as opposed to the old fashion 4WD shift lever usually located on the floor that is on the 1st gen interior.
The only caution you will need to check is to see if your 2000 R/T requires premium fuel. Easiest way to find out providing it did not come off is at the gas door panel. You should clearly see a OEM sticker in red/yellow that should clearly state "PREMIUM FUEL ONLY".
I tried to cheat only once by fueling up with regular grade unlead to save some extra money vs fueling Premium fuel and my D ran like crap with pinging and knocking. Never do that again.
I would have to confidently say that all 2000 R/T's uses Premium fuel as 2000 model is the first year of the R/T and they have the recalibrated PCM that gives you the extra 5 hp.
