I just bought a 96 Ram 2500 5.9 with a 5 speed, knock on wood but there are no problems so far at all and I have 246,000 KM on it.

If you have the Vin # and e-mail Dodge they will let you know if there are any outstanding recalls on your truck. I found there is one outstanding on mine so it will go in soon for the service.

maybe just use trucks tv as a guide line for what you want, but be original when you build something, make it your own. Rams are easy to visually modify, maybe try a couple things they didnt?
