there was one there it was a 05 quad cab short bed with 30xxx miles on it with hemi, looks basically stock, need a bedliner and tarno cover, but thhey want 16000 for it way outta my league may have to stick with my 2000 5.9. i just bought mine more than a year ago for 9100 and put decent money into it also, custum taillights headlights,cai,msd igntion,fastman,1.7 harland sharps,magnaflow cat,extreme muffler 24inch tips, ngk plugs,bed liner,tarno lots more i missed but my point is its running like a champ and well maintained it has 129xxx and the 05 has 30xxx i would love to have a truck with low miles so i dunno.

well last i traded my 99 sport in in nov for an 04 with 50k on the ticker and got it for 9k granted its got the 4.7 but i think its just as quik if not quiker than my 5.2 but i love it and you know i loved my big red truck 04 05 thumbs up get a better price look around maybe even autotrader.....hope to see on the 3rd gen side soon ......j.......
yeah it looks really nice same color as mine silver and i love silver, i love my 5.9 and evreything done too it , but i also like the 30xxx on the 05. my 5.9 will keep up with the hemi, sometimes ill win, but if i traded mine in i would want something for it, and use that money too do up the 05 a bit. but dunno if parents would go for it. thats alot of money...... thanks for the help guys i would love to be a 3rd gen rammer lol

If I could do it over again i'd get an 05, I like the interior more. The front-end ehhh not so much...but it would be worth the trade. MDS can be tuned out but being able to put in a bigger cam than the 06+'s would also be nice.

And '03, because we have the first 1500 with the ability to boast the Hemi badge. Our only problem is the PCM in the Hemi, but it's still a nice truck.
