The VIN is 17 [ numbers and letters] In 1968 all VIN were put on lower left dash of all vehicles, you can also find VIN and year on left door jam.

Sorry, I didnt get back to Nicky, I thought I sent you a PM....my bad.

I ran your VIN, no repair history on the subject...and not sure about your springs.
I don't know a SPECIFIC cut off date, Yours was built 12/12/02.
I would say its borderline....

Well getting new valvesprings in a few weeks so I not really worried. I don't really drive my truck hard. Kind of hard for a 17yr old to control himself but I do it well I think.

I have an '03 Ram 2500 QC 2WD HEMI. It started to run rough one day driving to work. I took it to the Dodge dealer I bought it from and they said it was bad fuel.
We decided to run the fuel out and then see what happened. They took the truck thru the carwash before giving it back and the kid spun the wheels pulling it out and slammed into the building - taking out the rear quarter panel. I have since run the gas out and refilled and still running rough. I took it to another Dodge dealer in the area and they said the plugs and wires needed to be replaced and run fuel cleaner thru it, for the LOW price of $740.00. I need the vehicle so I told them to go ahead. They called the next day at 6 PM to tell me the truck was still running rough. Two days later they found a broken valve spring and replaced it under the 7/70 warranty (the vehicle only has 37000 miles on it). They are only going to replace one spring, not all. DC refused to pay for a rental car or the plugs and wires that were obviously ruined because of the spring failure. I guess what I'm saying is don't think the 7/70 warranty is going to help you out when (not if) your spring breaks.

Nice...digging up a 2 year old thread as your first post . And stock for stock or mod for mod a RC will walk a QC all day long. It's simply power to weight ratio.

Of course the smaller, lighter truck is going to be slower.
