Silver......nice! Welcome to the club. I have never heard of a "Thunder Road" Ram before. Shows how much I know. What are some of the differences with that edition of truck??

Welcome to DF.
Yous say you do towing....If you get much rear end squat, I'd suggest looking into airbags. I've had mine for over a year now and absolutely love them. Cheap and easy to install too. Just a suggestion.

Only major problem is the stock LSD. there are small retaining clips that can fall out and wreak havoc inside the differential. Most of those problems were prior to 2006, but can still happen to the newer trucks as well. If your able to change your own differential fluid, I'd keep an eye out for metal and pieces in the rear diff.
Mainenance intervals are often with them anyways so you can keep an eye out for any possible dangers.
