The software is only current to 1999, your truck is a 2000.
Since Chrysler products self ID themselves to the scan tool, right of
the bat, you've got got a conflict.

Didn't show which software but as a rule, if the cartridges aren't the
black VCI, the software is pretty far out of date.

With current enough software, yes.
You'd need enhanced coverage (not just OBD2) to at least the model year
of your truck.
Be advised, the MT 2500 is obsolete, the current software (V9.2) is the
last update to be offered by Snap-On.
Twas a glorious 20 year run...
