They made 2000 nightrunners, some were dakotas ,rc's and quad 1500's it was a dealer option So I honestly don't know, However there are 400 badged/plaqued srt's which were 2 wd. respectfully, I have no idea if they were part of the 2000 or not......the truck is rare.:happy107: Mine is a 1500 4x4.
It's like the Monster Mile that a new member has, never heard of it until then.

the black chrome wheels was and still is my fav part of those trucks, they are nice, but after my 2014, i hate keeping up with black as a daily driver!

Why would my control arm rub against the spindle, or vice versa..? It's like that on the pass side too. Only the rear side of the spindle

Looks like you're over extending the steering.

Yep, depends on the vehicle. Honestly haven't looked much on the Dodge, but on my Jeep there were limiting bolts on the knuckles that would limit how far you can turn the wheel.

I don't think our trucks have steering stops like jeep wranglers (with steering boxes). I think the rack and pinion stops the steering.

I ran outta coolant on the drive this morning... I think it might be time to try the thermostat. Already got new water pump and hoses so I'm hoping thermostat is the problem.

I ate up a g37 coupe on my way home from work one night, guy got me off the light but drove around him by about 60. Car didn't have tints so I could see the older just staring at the truck as I passed him. Don't think he was expecting the old hemi to keep up.. No badges gets em sometimes.

We were on I-70 heading towards 695, he zipped past so I figured that'd get us home faster lol. He kept speeding up and I just paced him...been a while since I pegged the speedo. I think he lost his nerve at those speeds. I didn't care, got us home quicker lol. My gf is a car chick/mechanic and she was laughing her ass off.
