I found this truck that i might look at... http://maine.craigslist.org/cto/1440210955.html

Or should i just get an 04 or newer because like you guys said the 03's have valve spring problemes and moter problemes, and not as much options as the 04 up as the programmers go cause they changed the computer corect? And is there a power difference between the 03 and other? Thanks please try to right back soon and answer all my questions if you could because ill be byring a truck in the next week...

If you must get a 03 get a 4.7 or Hemi. 03 changed engine lines mid year.

That 03 is over priced.

if your going for an 04 or 05 check the steering racks and all components. i have an 04 and have replaced so far: egr valve, both racks, p/s pump/hose/switch, alternator,tires. 48k miles now but im very happy with it. plenty of power.
