I have my eye on a 2001 1500 powered by a 5.9 L.
on a quick check it looked to have all the extras...xlt extended cab 4x4...
34 k miles... hitch says 10k lbs center loaded
car fax verifies milage etc. they want 17.5k.
my question, can I find all options installed by using vin on the net ?
as an aside.. this has a carpet thing on the dash held by velcro strips
glued to dash....looks like a, nevermind.
If I buy I wou;d like to remove the velcro parts glued to the dash without
dammage/ discoloration..
My main questions are options.... limited slip, towing package....skid
plates etc !

No - but your dealer can give you a complete options list if you give them
the VIN.

Yeah - a dashmat. Usually put on to cover up cracks in the dash.

glued on strips off the dash.....a solvent that wont dammage the vinal
Thanks though.

take the VIN to your local Dodge dealer's Parts Dept.
ask for a print out
if the parts guy isn't a total a.shole, he will do it for you

I went back to purchase it next day and was told no one knew where it
was.... not on lot or shop..... but they had something else to show me......
They tried to play me like a banjo.
I went and bought a new F150 4x4 lariat instead tow package etc.
This would have been my fourth dodge truck from that dealership.....to bad !

Henry, best of luck with the Ford. I had a '91 F-150 and I LOVED it. If the
Dodge dealer couldn't put together a good deal for you, you did the right
thing. Competition is what keeps the prices down. I believe you would have
been happy with a Dodge, but you have to do what you have to do.
Congratulations on the new truck.

Yea, with the current employee discount, I would have bought the SuperDuty
instead.
