As we cannot always confirm that the needed service has been performed,
we suggest that you contact your local authorized Dodge dealer to
arrange for an inspection and for the repairs. If required the dealer
may perform a corrective action at no charge to you.
You can also access the self-service recall site on the internet to
check your vehicle's involvement in any/all recalls that are published.
Simply log on to our brand website: www.dodge.com, click on "For Owners"
and then enter your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN).
In addition, we would like to inform you that the corporate owner
information database will be updated to reflect the name/address change
as mentioned in your email. This will help the post-office to deliver
our mail to your correct address. In addition, if in the future your
vehicle is involved in a factory recall campaign, you will be notified
promptly by U.S. mail.
If we can be of any assistance to you in the future, please feel free to
contact us. We value you and your business.
Thanks again for your email.

John Cooper

I can tell by your sig pic that you don't have it, but I'll add some input.
The super sport truck had some of the following:
SS/T on the tailgate, Vinyl racing stripes, a different tune from the factory giving a little jump in HP, unique wheels, all were RCSB, and the 5.9 360 was standard.
I think that's all correct, I just don't feel like searching for it.

all the ones i see are Reg cab short beds 2wd they seem the be a bit lower to the ground and have color matched wheels sorta like a chevy rally wheel style( likes like it a little) and yeah a 5.9l standard. my uncle had one it was blue with white strips and it was actually pretty darn fast for what it was.. he bought it new in 1996 and as of today ( nov 3 2009) it has 11,000 miles on it.. i want to get it from him that would be the perfect truck to build a 408 storker. can you say sleeper?

1fast2liter your truck is probly just have the sport package body syleing.. but thats oddc ause most of the sport 4x4s do have upgraded suspention and gears i think. and come stock with A/T's but you never know like my truck was build by order and they guy who bought it had them put dana 80s under it and its a ext cab short bed 5.9L 4x4 so maybe your truck was a custom order

Once again I would like to say thank you to everyone that has responded to my original post. I do have one other question now. A lot of you are saying that you contacted Chrystler/Dodge to get the info as to what trim package you have. Where exactly are you going to contact them. When I go to Dodges website they dont really have an extensive list of options to choose from when going to contact us and Im not sure which one to select. Im thinking the customer service link but I work in customer service and I know that if you choose the wrong one, your request goes right into the ether. Thanks again!
