2000 4x2 RegularCab with a 4.7l_V8 engine, built in the Warren,MI plant; sequence number 586680
0	The emissions sticker that was placed on the under side of the hood was for a 3.9L v-6 and not for my 4.7L v-8.
1000	At 1000 miles I noticed there are what appears to be stress cracks in both fog lights, the cracks are identical on the left light and the right. The fold down center console gets binded up occasionally when trying to open it.

10	Had a "whine" coming from the rear end. This problem was dicovered by a service tech who test drove the truck upon delivery. Pulled the cover off the rear end and discovered "loose bolts". All "bolts" were tightened, no more noise. This truck has the 3.92 gear ratio (DMH) and Sure-Grip Differential (DSA)
300	Noticed rough idle at around 300 miles.Took truck to dealer and had service tech check it out. Was told that the idle was normal. Truck still idles very rough.

10	I've had aproblem with the idle since I got the truck with 10 miles on it, But now I'm having it seen to.The idle problem I'm having is this - when the air or heat(middle knob is ON) is on, the idle will hang around 1000 rpm's when you mash the clutch in and you're moving.When the middle knob is in the off position,the idle will fluctuate greatly when the clutch is mashed in(between 400&900rpm's). When you come to a complete stop with the clutch mashed in,the idle likes to hunt around about 3 times going from about 350 to 700 rpm's and settling at 600.When the motor hits 350-400 rpm's, it shakes pretty good and feels like it's going to die.Right now, Dodge is trying to blame this problem on winter gas mixes in the warmer southern states,but I think that they just don't know what the problem is and don't want to say it.The percentage of 4.7L owners having similar problems is overwhelming. I think this a is a serious problem and it concerns me greatly.
