This designation covers the Ram full-size pickup lineup broadly (1500 through 3500), offered with V6, HEMI V8, or Cummins diesel power and available 4WD. The 2000 Ram (full-size) factory service manual documents the specific engine, transmission, and 4WD system for this model year.
Engine and 4WD Service
The Ram's engine requires the correct oil specification and timing service documented in the factory manual, including HEMI's MDS cylinder deactivation diagnostics or Cummins diesel-specific DEF/fuel filter service where equipped. The 4WD transfer case and differentials require their own fluid service.
