I have the same package , minus the power rear window. There was one in Idaho (it's been rolled and junked) that had your same package I believe. I wish my radio had the auxillary jack. But ya can't have everything. lol. I have the infinity system, I think they all did, Mine was de decaled and they chucked the headrests, But I have since replaced all that was tossed. (not an easy task btw) . Nice too hear from another nightrunner owner just the same.

Yours has been kinda fishy from the start. You need to get your build sheet and see if they really threw the stuff away or if they tried to piece together a nightrunner. Either way, Id like to know. Why switch out the headrests for plain gray ones? The NR ones look so much better

Theres got to be 10 around me. Two of em are SRTs. One has a jacked up front end, and one of the SRTs is one of the baddest looking beasts Ive seen on the road.

Hmm interesting. After a little more digging it seams the 4x4 auto system is a NVG246 t-case. I will climb under there and check that out when it warms up.

On mine the only things I know for a fact the previous owner did was recover the seats with leather and added a sunroof two things I know are not factory. Kinda funny to put so much money into a truck then only keep it for 12k miles, but hay his loss my gain.

I replaced the bed night runner badges with a darker color ones. The original truck were just to bright for me on such a blacked out truck.

Kinda sucks that its so hard to find info on our trucks even from the dealership, but I guess that's what we get for owning a truck that was only made for six mouths.

I did get the build sheet, it;s a nightrunner, The tach insignia is a dead give away. It was a leasee out of texas, thats why they chucked the original embroidered headrests. I replaced the oem cloth ones. I agree , why would anyone chuck them?? But like I said here is a close up of my tach.

I always thought it would look good if the night runner on the tach would of glowed green like the rest of the numbers.

Spot on !! I would of welcomed that little highlight for sure!! There were 2000 nightrunner editions made, Plus a very small number of dakotas, and even a durango here and there. the srt were badged, and plaqued. less than 400 of those gems, are around. The 1500's seem to be the most out there. I've seen rc's as well as qc's I have no idea,however, if they all were part of the 2000 made or if they were additions. too the dealer option. I like the rareness of these trucks.
I think they should of came with a borla side pipe set up as well. Wishful thinking I guess. When i bought mine, the saleswoman,(she had a nice rack) Really didn't know the nightrunner saga. She was selling another 1500 slt. ,in her eyes, She wanted 22,500. With 51 k . I brought her down to 17 k. I paid just about what you should I believe. The trade in on these trucks is woeful btw. 12 k -14 k.So hang on too her, thats my plan.

Rocket I knew you put those headrests on thats why I said something. I just dont know why they would replace them in the first place, Texas or not. And take the stickers off too? Especially on a leased truck....

but the tachs are easy to change out (kinda time intensive though). You could get a nightrunner tach for any truck, and Im sure that company (i cant remember the site) that does all those on DT to make one with a glow to the Nightrunner in the middle

I gottta search that one matt, Yeah I getcha, but she's all night runner, no doubt about it. built in St louis,Mo. With all the Mexican parts too boot. Nice little touch btw withn the build sheet, it specified everything that went in her, including the night runner option, They listed the price at 835$. wierd how the whole package (thats sets it apart from the rest) costs so little.
