Yes, exactly. The arm rest does look like it exploded, lol. I really need the front fender flare like my rear has. I need to get my truck repainted hopefully by Spring. The roof has a few bad spots where the clear coat has come off. Do you have roof issues? I'm keeping the truck in the garage and out of bad weather, so hopefully that helps until I get it painted.

What color is your interior? Your previous owner must be color blind, lol.

Haynes are just awful. Ok in some areas, but overall just awful. I would love to get an owners manual and repair manual that actually is helpful.

So far 89 octane is alright, but I honestly haven't driven it too far to really see if its the proper octane. I have some steep hills locally. I'll take the truck up some hills tomorrow and see how it does. Thank you for your tips .

 

How is it "chipped"? JET? Mopar PCM? Superchips? Custom flash? SCT?

 

I don't have any issues with my paint, other than it really needs to be hand waxed. I use that spray detailer stuff, but its not as good. I did get a mysterious black streak/roof dent/torn tonneau one time tho. I still dunno how that happened but whatever it was did it all. My interior is charcoal, and the cream a-pillar trim is actually the correct color because the pillars usually match the headliner, which is also cream. Just happens to be the totally wrong piece.



Oh and on your manual thing, I downloaded the 2000 manual thats in the stickies for this forum, and its page for page the MOPAR shop manual. Check it out.

 

^^ I did too now that the link actually worked.

 

Sorry if i am just bumbling or just adding info that has already been stated. Mid-will do just fine you will get a slight knock but not as bad as regular. i have put 91-93 depends were you are but i did not really see a huge difference it felt slightly snappier and as for the manual i am sure you could find one on ebay if you snooped around. Yeah i am looking for an armrest also it sarted bulging out on the sides and then one day i got in and noticed that it had cracked stright down the middle. good luck and nice choice.

 

I called the previous owner and he says he used 93 in the truck. I filled it up with 89 and its not very snappy like you say. Its sluggish 30+mpg.

So I'm assuming the arm rests was a issue for R/T. Well that's better than some recalls I've seen for other vehicle's.

I think its the perfect choice too. The truck fits me perfectly. It's small with a nice motor and I'm small with a big mouth, lol.


My interior is all charcoal too even the pillars. The only thing beige/cream is the visors, headliner and headliner console thingy.

I'm a fan of Meguiar's. I use the wax, the interior spray, and even tire spray, lol.

Hey thanks for the manual ! I'm going to go check that out. I appreciate that very much.



Good question, I don't know. Honestly I don't know much about chips. How do you find out? I never asked the previous owner. I thought it came stock with the truck when he told me.

 

Look at the PCM itself, if there is a sticker that says "Mopar Perfromance" it needs premium. If it doesn't and there isn't a JET module plugged in line with the factory connectors, and the PO didn't give you a tuner with the truck, it's most likely a stock tune and will run just fine on 87.
