What is the difference between a 97 Dakota and a 98 Dakota? I am looking forward to buying a programmer and it says for 98 and newer. I thought that they were all the same?

The 1997 dakota was the first year of the OB2 diagnostic system. You can pull codes with the OB1 trick and get better codes using a scanner. My 97 only has 1 O2 sensor...after the catalytic converter, the newer trucks have 2 or more sensors.
My guess is that the 97 trucks computer is ONE YEAR specific and does not fall under the umbrella of the 98 - 03? dakotas that have the same basic systems.
In a nutshell, the 97 isn't a 96, and it isn't a 98, it's a 97 and that's that....as far as the computer goes anyway.
