Default Was there ever a CAT in a Ram?

Ok, heres the deal, I did some work for this guy, his Co. going belly up, and I found out the hard way. I'm going to get F'd on my cash, but he's got a late 90s dually that doesn't run. Now I can't get the hood up because it was crashed, it's a beater bigtime, and I'm just trying to get what I can, but the engine is yellow. I know it could of been spraybombed or something, but my buddie swears he heard of Dodge putting CATs in a couple years. Is this true? I Googled it, and couldn't really find anything. Do I need to bring the trailer back before the Sherriffs office whipps out the yellow tape? My time's limited, if it's not to late now. Any input would be appreciated.

Thanks
Billy D

CAT scrapped the idea of a light duty truck engine. Market isn't big enough for them to make out. Nope, they're strictly industrial equipment.
