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.

ya im waiting for the guy 2 email me the the vin #. wow 246,000 is alot i hope mine lasts that long. if i get this ram i got big plans for it. i wana model it after the little red wagon from trucks tv when i saw what he did to that ram i fell in luv with rams evin mor.
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?
im doin alot more different stuff then what they did i just realy liked how he built it up the lift on it was perfict and i realy liked the work bumpers he threw on it. i want to do alot of engine mods to it between insurance =5500 a year and gas grabin every1 by the balz i need this thr run cleen but hav sum power to it cause im guna hav lots of off road fun with it
