No one has paid attention to notice he said 98 ram. The 98 is different thatn 99-01s. The 98 has single headlight bulbs, a painted from bumber with separte bolted/screwed on air dam. Not a whole lot of difference between the 98 Sports and regular rams except some painted items and the decals. The sport has nothing to do with gearing either. I have an 01 4x4 Sport with tow package and 3.55 gears.

 

In the begining the Sport was a limited production of 2000 trucks for 1994. But they where very popular so they kept making them. I brought my 94 sport back in 94 I still have the orignal Dodge sales brouches for the Sports. I'll pull it out when I get home and read threw it again. Haven't looked at in in years. I'll let ya'll know what is say's.

 

Soo.. as far as i can tell, most of the changes on my 98 are just cosmetic. The big changes didnt come till about 99? If you can believe this, i called my local dealer parts dept. and they said "uhhh.. we just order parts by number. not really sure of the differences" ... figures. Thanks for all the help guys, ill try and contribute when i have something interesting to add.
