2000 - 1500 Sports disaster, need everything

[Bezerker]

Just purchased a 2000 1500 Sports 4X4, 360 FI engine, it was a stolen vehicle and stuff is missing, so far I have not done a total inventory
The truck drives (stuck in 4x4 with one drive shaft removed) and starts fine
Transmission, automatic, works fine
No leaks, yeah
As I said above it seem to be stuck in 4X4, the light is always lit
All gauges work but radio ? was stolen and dash is a mess
Body is fair and tires big and about gone.

What I really need is picture, especially interior so I can figure out what is missing and what is important. I am not going to make a show truck but I want it reliable.
I also need software to read the OBDII, something like FORscan for that other brand of truck, I have OBDII dongle to attach to my laptop.
Last any info why this is stuck in 4x4 would be helpful.
Thanks for your help

Might help to post in the right forum. Post this in the 2nd Gen forum for more visibility and help. Not sure anyone is really looking in the Site News forum.

Your best bet may be to go to eBay and purchase a 2000 sales brochure for Dodge Ram trucks. That will show you everything that was available for the interior. I was just on the site and several are currently listed. Good luck to you. It sounds like you’ve got quite a task ahead. I still have the brochure that I used to choose all of the options for my 98 when I ordered it and it’s a very good resource.

Sorry for long delay in replying, actually no excuse.
Just completed major repairs on above 1500:
4X4 - installed Manual 4x4 shift and rebuilt front drive shaft
Break Caliper driver side only had one bolt holding it on, all new front breaks, and bolts
Wheel hub with different size wheel lug studs. replaced both hub as driver side was broke.
Rear Lug nut were weird, replace all lug nut
All wheels where bonded to hub due to electrolysis.

I still have some minor repairs to do but my one big worry is when I da a tight Left Hand turn. Turning hard Left the front universal (on axel) hit the Hub bolt (one of those 12 point bolts). Right turn is no problem and I see no fix other than grinding off a lot of metal?
