I finally passed the exam for the 737. I requested a change of equipment and haven't gotten a response yet. My question is, do I have to fly the 737-800, or can I fly the 200, 300, 400, or 500 also?

You should receive all the 737 ratings when you get the 737-800 rating added on. So once you pass the checkride, you'll be good to PIREP with any 737 variant.

I still haven't figured out ACARS, so how am I going to do my check ride?

You can use any of the 737 variants you wish, as well as the AirBus series that you are rated to fly.

Have you downloaded and attempted to run ACARS yet? If so, what don't you understand? What have you tried so far?
