I don't know why it wouldn't work though. OBD2 stream is OBD2 stream. Unless they swithed the protocol in 2003? Dammit, I'm callin them tomorrow.

Check this one out. Says plugs into any OBDII port, but the list for Chrysler shows only CAN equipped vehicles from '04 and newer.
http://www.dashhawk.com/

But it does say that it might work on older vehicles. It says you can tell by looking at the OBDII port:
[*]Locate the OBDII connector. It is under the dash on the driver’s side of the vehicle, often either under the steering wheel or tucked up next to the driver’s side kick panel.[*]Look carefully at the plug with a flash light or other bright light source. If pins 6 and 14 have metal pins in them (i.e. are “populatedâ€) then the vehicle has a CAN bus and DashHawk will most likely work with this vehicle. [/ol] http://www.dashhawk.com/faq.html

Ours are ISO 9141. I'm not sure,but I think the whole CAN swap has to do with going towideband. Supposedly they are quicker to react and will keep you at 14.7 more of the time than a narrowband.

Either there phone # is deeply embedded in there site, or I just am too dumb to find it. I sent an email and also signed up for thier tech forum. I am awaiting the administratorsapproval. I did find a link on thier site that said "Technical Information (Chrysler non-CAN) vehicles. For most 2004 and older vehicles".Then it had a list of parameters it would give. I'll let you know what I hear.

Oh well:

Email-
Hello,[/align]I was wondering if any of your gauges would work on a 2000 Dodge Ram[/align][/align]Response-[/align]
Hi Charles, [/align][/align]Not the current gauges. Chrysler was very wacky back then ( and now for that matter) on the OBD2 protocol, and ended up using several formats vs one for every one else. We're trying to figure this all out and it is taking a long time. We'll have support for most Chrysler form 2003+ but the older stuff is a ways off. I hope by this summer?[/align][/align]Todd

Found another one:

Check out the vid on the bottom right. I called them and they said it would work, but they don't have a fuel pressure option yet.
