Hood should work. The sports use 2 bulbs and regular trucks 1.

 

A 96 hood will work just take everything from your hood and swap it over, you will need to put the 01 grille bracket on the 96 hood so that your body color grille will bolt on

 

Sport came out in 94.... (and they may have been around for the first gen trucks too....) There really werent many differences between a sport, and non-sport though, till 98. Then, the sports got the different front bumper, dual headlights, and a few other cosmetic changes. So far as I know, (which really isn't very far at all....) the body panels are all pretty much the same for all second gens, except the doors.....

 

99-01 sports are different than non-sports by a couple key things, but fenders, hood, beds, rear bumpers, doors and the cab are the same.

Differences on 99-01 sports(might be missing something)
1. Bumper cover(front)
2. bumper support(front)
3. bumper brackets(front)
4. Grille
5. Grille support
6. Headlights have 4 bulbs instead of 2, they are still the same shape
7. taillight moldings are body color
8. emblems are stickers
9. fog lights

 

What about the rear sliding windows? My right one is busted and I was going to buy one from a 96 but realized the design is a little different, is that also a refresh for 98+?? Will the ones from the 96 work? Im not going to replace just one glass, im going to do the whole thing, I can get it for like $80

 

I've had this same problem with hestitation/stubbling at 45, i'm thinking its a torque converter problem but any answers from you guys would help.

 

The body is the same so if your replacing the whole window you should not have a problem, if you try and piece together then you will

 

I have this style, which years and models are this style?




vs. this other style:

 

6. If you need a new trans, I would and many others would simply recommend that you simply have yours rebuilt. If you take a trans from another year you can have a number of problems.

1st, you could bolt up a used piece of **** and waste alot of effort pulling out and putting stuff into place plus make a mess of tranny fluid in your garage.

2, you could get something that will bolt up, and hook up electronically, yet still not perform correctly. I currently have a 2000 Dodge Engine Computer and it is not compatible with a 1999 Transmission. 1st, 2nd, and 3rd gears work but I have no Torque converter lockup or overdrive shift. Reason being is that the 2000 computer is looking for signals out from 2000 sensors inside the trans. Since the trans is 1999, it doesn't send out the signals the computer is looking for.Because of that, all the electronic aspects of the transmission dont work. Electronic functions taking place through the OD and Lockup Solenoids.

3, trans will hook up but all the electronic connections wont, same effect as number 2 and check engine light...

4, Consider the local shop, or APS. APSprecision.com seems to have the good stuff and I think their trannies come with 3 year warranties as opposed to a local shops 1 year warranty. Cost might be higher through APS but you get a better warranty, 100% recalibrated and blueprinted tranny as opposed to a basic rebuild that might cost you just about the same thing with hardly anything done to it other then fresh clutches, steels, bands, seals, bushings, washers, etc., plus maybe a ****ty paint job cause someone didnt want to thoroughly clean the outside of the case.

 

so the only years that will be direct PLUG and PLAY and literally the same are 2000 and 2001? meaning wiring and electrical?
