The only issue he's dealing with at the moment is the E-fan for the AC has quit, and that's what he's working on.

Bout the only thing I know that you need to be careful of is the LSD failure that the 3rd gens have issues with. The clips tend to break and detonate


Lemme con someone into moving this for you so you don't get flamed for double posting it.
oh comon...i like you guys (in a manly truck way)...lol

the thread isnt about 3rd gen issues...its talking to 2nd gen owners who have thought about it.

Its a 2500 chassis but due tot he extra weight of the megacab the payload is decreased to that of a half ton more or less.

You asked to be stopped..... the truck needs a paint job. White is not a color. Might as well put "Johnson and Son Contracting" on the side. And another reason: if you're gonna get a 3rd gen, get a FREAKING CUMMINS!!!!

Yeah, if you're looking to spend that kind of coin on a truck look for a 2001-2002 2500 with a high output cummins turbo diesel with decent mileage on it. That's what I'd do.
