they fixed that 08.5 and up...

a lot of us with 4x4 trucks 00 and newer have converted our steering assemblies to 08.5+ steering.

I ordered and installed a 2012 ram 2500 4x4 steering assembly for my truck and bolted it right in. put a 3rd gen steering stabilizer shock on it, DT pro fab 3rd gen style track bar, and a steering gear brace, truck is immune from death wobble and slop. and now has HD T-steering instead of junk y-steering.

Hey redneck I'm here! If we had the money I would jump for it LOL... Actually, the long hauler weighs 9300 lbs, has a GCWR of 37,500lbs! http://www.foxnews.com/leisure/2012/...y-to-own-road/

If I had the money I would jump on it and drop a Cummins QSB8.3 in it! I'd out run any semi with it!

Yep get the ISX 600. Low rev super torquey... Drop it in a Dodge with a good tranny and you will outrun ANY truck out there!

2100RPM Redline isn't a problem. Just drop a 10spd Roadrunner in it.
