The first thing I did when I got home with the new truck was request a build sheet from dodge. I like these things because it's all good info. I thought I'd share mine:

In addition, our records indicate that the following recall campaign has
not been performed by an authorized dealer:

973 Secondary Hood Latch, Safety Recall, Issued on 04/25/2001

 

SBAS Variable Assist Power Steering

First time I have seen that one. Seems they finally figured out that they were NOT putting "power rack-and-pinion" steering in their trucks.

Nice truck.

 

Is it a club cab with a long bed?

 

yep sure is.

 

Gotcha. Nice truck! You gonna post pictures?

 

Most certainly will. It's just tough cuz it's dark when I get home, and I usuaslly don't have time in the day, lol. I'll try and snag some this weekend.
