Default 2500, RPM?
What RPM should a 03 Ram, 2500 (5.7 L Hemi) run at? I am concerned that mine, at about 60 mph, runs at 2000 RPM in overdrive. Do I have a right to be concerned or is this normal?

My 04 2500 Hemi runs at ~1500-1600 rpm at 60 mph in OD. It sounds alittle high, I wonder if it's not getting into the 2nd OD for some reason.

It might depend on the gearing, but I have a 2004 QC 1500 with the Hemi and 3.55 rear. It turns about 2000rpms around 70mph. Your revs sound kind high to me at that speed.
