is there any specific way to tell what sub model you have for a 98?

 

Does it have any kind of badges? If it says SLT for example...

Build sheet would work just fine too.

 

no it dosent have any of that. and the build sheet is the metal sheet mounted of the front upper radiator mount?

 

Nope. Build sheet is the document from Dodge on what was included on that vehicle. They keep it by VIN. I think there is a thread in the FAQ/DIY section on build sheet. Another option is to go to you local Dodge Dealer. Service Department can pull that up and print it for you.

 

alright ill have to give that a shot. becasue i dont wanna buy the wrong parts for it

 

There is a free downloadf service manual and a parts manual in the FAQ/DIY section. It kind of feraks out the gal at the parts counter at mmy local Dodge dealer when I walk in with the page printed out to order parts.....she will NEVER know!

 

Don't always bet on that. While I was in getting a PCV valve once, I stopped by the service department and asked if they could print off the build sheet for my truck. The service manager responded with a "Print off a wha?" I told him its the sheet that tells me everything the truck came with from the factory. He had no idea what I was talking about.

 

im just curious what it is so that when i start buying up grades for it that i dont buy the worng one. would a car fax have it you think?

You have nothing to worry about with upgrades. They are all the same, unless you have a 99+ sport model, then headlights, grill, front bumper etc. are different.
