My old 92 Dodge Diesel had a combination locking fuel cap that would also hide a key or dollar bills. Old style turned about 2 turns, my 2001 diesel fuel cap only turns about 1/4 turn and its off. Does anyone have a locking fuel cap on their 2001. If so list vendor and part number, Please.
 
I have a 98. 5; w/locking fuel cap. I bought it from my dealer, it was has a mopar #. I would go out a look up the part #, but it is 4 degrees, dark with snow on the ground. I'm pretty sure it is the same as a 2000. 1/4 turn, it has worked fine in blazing desert heat and below 0 temps.

Got mine at Wallyworld for about $10 I think. It's a Stant and works just peachy! I think it was invented by Algore in his spare time.

You'll be surprised how inflated the prices are once you're in the tri-state area. With Gore, that should double them. Time to leave Jersey behind and move into America.

Locking fuel caps are a good thing untill you get some water in the key hole and it gets cold (like bellow freezing) Then you can spend 20 minutes standing in the gas station parking lot yelling at your truck and trying to warm up the key. Of course this never happend to me... . but I was along for the ride.
