The 03 lets you remove torque management by removing 1 wire. It is true that you can't change shift points, and I always like to tweak. It hasn't gotten in my way though, normal driving or towing, and I've never been outrun by a similar truck - Dodge or other makers.
no they are pretty solid for a first year engine run but in seven years as mechanic at a dodge dealer i probably saw fortysome rams come in with valves blown by spring breakage and out of all of them i think maybe one was an early 04 that got the 03 springs and the rest were 03 trucks. they just had a couple first year growing pains.Originally Posted by John M

Sounds like I should start saving for a cam & new springs before something happens. Another "forced upgrade opportunity"!
