Author | Topic: Differences between model years |
rop Prowler Newbie From:Sacramento, CA |
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I am looking at buying either a 2000 or 2001. Are there any differences between the two? I believe I have read in the past the shocks changed between the 1999 and 2000. Thanks for any info you can provide. |

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The entire story is on the opening page menu. On the left side of the page, read THE PROWLER STORY. Very interesting and it will answer all your questions correctly the first time, unlike in the open forum where opinions sometimes vary (along with memory). Welcome to the POA. Glad you found us. ------------------ |

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I actually just read the prowler story (thanks Ed) and according to that the shocks changed between the 2000 and 2001 model year from Koni's to Dynamic Suspension. Do both of those have the leaking problem????? And, I actually registered on this site 2 years ago and started perusing this site 4 years ago. I have been wanting a prowler for a long time! |

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() 1997 The engine was the 3.5 liter V6 cast iron engine rated at 214 HP. It had two throttle bodies. All of the 97's were Purple with Silver wheels 1999 The engine changed to all aluminum 3.5 liter 24 valve V6 that produces 253 HP. This engine was used through the end of Prowler production. Chrome wheels become an option 97 and 99 prowlers and some 2000 were equipped with Koni shocks August 1999 the 2000 model production begins. Eventually Chrysler switched to Dynamic Suspension shocks and new springs which made the ride somewhat softer and the cars sit ever so slightly higher. However over time those shocks tend to start leaking. I don't recall Koni's ever being reported as leaking. Begiining with the 2000's A new auto dimming rear view mirror with mini trip odometer and temperature gauge is introduced. A new radio with speed sensitive volume control to automatically increase or decrease the audio level with change in speed. The bumpers are repainted from Gray to Black. The alternator is changed to a new design with declutching pulley to eliminate the serpentine drive belt rattle that occurs as the belt tension decays (relaxes) as the 3.5L does not have an automatic belt tensioner. Chrome wheels are now standard In Oct 2000 A new Torque Converter with different design is added to production. This message has been edited by BeWare on 05-16-2019 at 12:39 PM |
