Hide the list of all 4x2 QuadCab trucks produced in 2000

2000 4x2 QuadCab with a 3.9L_V6 engine, built in the Warren,MI plant; sequence number 601664
MileageProblem
3000 In March at about 3k miles we received an Emmisions Recall to reprogram the powertrain control module. The problem... The On-Board Diagnostic (OBD) system will not detect a catalyst failure as required by Federal Emissions Regulations.
4000 At 4k miles a whine/howl coming from the rear end was discovered. Also, the power steering pump is making noises. Every now and then when taking off slow the transmission seems to stay in a low gear as if it were in a 'bull dog' gear, but stops once some speed is gained.

MileageProblem
unknown 1. Rough idle.
2. Bed Misaligned. Taking to dealer for fix.
3. Leaking trans fluid. Took to dealer twice. Second time, called Chrysler and they found a pinched vent line on transmission. This is a known problem.
4. I also have the strange rub/vibration in the gas pedel at 2000 RPMS and 60 MPH. Dealer said they could feel something but had no idea what it was and no to worry about it.

2000 4x2 QuadCab with a 5.9L_V8 engine, built in the Warren,MI plant; sequence number 746382
MileageProblem
0 When ambient temperature under hood gets high enough fan clutch kicks in. This causes the engine to seem like it's roaring but going nowhere. The truck actually has the same amount of power. It just sounds like it's revving a lot higher. This is a known problem (DC says it's not a problem but enough complaints have caused a TSB to be written).
