"C" in 8th position of VIN on 2002 6-speed HO?
According to http://www.dodgeram.org, the only two characters you should find in the 8th position of the VIN on an 01 or 02 should be a "6", for an SO engine, or a "7" for an HO engine. I have the build sheet for a 2002 HO 6-speed that contains a "C" in the 8th position of the VIN. Why, and what does it mean?

Well, I picked up an 02 today and it has the factory exhaust. It does have what appears to be a catalyctic converter before the muffler. Although, if it is a catalyctic converter, it is much smaller than the one that came on my old 97.
Do the trucks with the "6" or "7" in the 8th position also have a catalyctic converter?
ETA - The "Options Report" that I had printed up at the Dodge dealership shows "NAA", which is "Federal Emissions".

I beleive they are. The biggest restriction I recall was at the turn up over the rear axle on mine. It got down to about 1 3/4".
My 8th digit in my vin is a "7".

Maybe that changed for the 02 model year. When I was searching for trucks I only looked at one 2002 and it was a 6-speed so I knew it was an HO.

mine also has the vin code "C", and i did work at an auto parts store and in the computer it listed the models "6" "7" and "C". and for instance i needed the sensor for the 4wd light on the dash and i ordered the one for the model 7 not knowing the difference and when it arrived it was a fatter sensor than whats on the "C" modeled trucks so there is something different in them but i also dont know what the official difference is
