That is a very respectable conclusion. The Cummins and the chassis of the 2500/3500 are better suited for heave hauling/towing. Sure the 1500 can tow a lot of weight for a half ton, but a 3/4 ton or 1 ton would be a more ideal tow vehicle.

I completely agree.

But an Air Dog pump and some injectors would be one of your first 6 mods, so don't avoid them completely.

I always like to wait at least a week after i buy a new car to post pictures, order parts, or get too excited because god knows the banks can throw curveballs after the you drive off the lot. But in due time i will take some pictures and post them up. BTW, I really miss my 1500 already, this thing is difficult to park and nowhere near as pimp LOL

haha, it's all good. They may not look as nice from factory, but after a nice set of rims and tires, that 2500 Mega can look just as slick as your old 1500.

The Mega's are a bit longer and the 2500's don't turn as sharp i don't think?? BUT, not Pimp? You got a Cummins with a 6spd. That's pimp.
