Mines an 01... but when I went to change my o2 sensor, I had to get one for an 02 (pigtails are different).

When I did my sway bar links, I had to use parts for a 99.... WTF dodge? Frankentruck?

I dunno... my 9/87 built 98 has some '97 parts on it and the speedo cannot be adjusted via the OBD-II port.

Thats not true. I ordered my "2000" ram in the summer of 1999 and picked it up at the dealer in the fall... 3 months before it was even 2000 yet.

Narf.
You guys have to remember that the new models come out waay before the new year. A new model year vehicle usually starts up late summer-early fall.

Eg: My Ram was July '98, that makes it a REAL late 98. Not a 99. There are very subtle differences between 98 and 99.
