Not sure on the shocks (doubt its different), but I know the tranny is the same for both 5.2s and 5.9s. The 46RH (1994-1995) and 46RE (1996+).

I hear ya BlueBeast. I went through that crap before, had to be put on meds for a year or two. I would be lying if I said a certain woman had nothing to do with it.

But I got better. Just stick with it man, get a counselor if you need one. Thats how I got better. I ended up having to ditch a couple idiot friends who were contributing to my depression, and got some meds, I got through it. Never would have known some of my real problems without talking to a counselor.

i would concur that the 5.2 engine is in fact more reliable than the 5.9. i actually had a dream about firing up my old '89 dodge ram 150 that has been sitting around forever that had a 5.2 in it and it started right up. lol

I'm not sure about the 318 Magnums, but the old 318's were very good and reliable motors. Don't sweat it... You still have a V8, and that's what's most important here.

The newer, smaller motors (like Nissan) do make a lot of power, but look at the set-up...they are usually running 4 valves per cylinder or something crazy like that. Dodge don't roll that way...

I guarantee if you make sure your plenum is good, get a Fastman, headers, round intake or equivalent, 1.7 RR and roller lifters, and something like a B&G or SCT, you will not be displeased at all. The biggest thing holding these trucks back is the de-tuning they have.
