So my lease is up on my 2002 SLT 4X4 QC and I am trading it in for a new truck.

I have picked up a 06 Sport 4X4 QC Black!

Anyone tell me if there really is much of a differenc between the SLT and Sport?

thanks

Drew

 

i think its just appearance and suspension.

 

How do you like the MDS?

Drew

 

I have an '05 SLT sport. I didn't know that the suspension was different between the models. I have the anti-spin/limited slip, different gears and wheels, but I thought the suspension is the same as any 1500.

 

by suspension..i meant shocks...sry

If you ever replace the exhaust, you'll notice the MDS kick in....and it sounds like crap from within the truck. However, youj get used to it after awhile. Other than that, the MDS is pretty cool. I average 17-18 mpg....and sometimes hit 19-20. Most of my driving is on the freeway tho!

 

np. So what shocks would I have on an SLT 4x4 with sport package?

 

shocks would be slightly stiffer is all - still MOPARs.

 

different bumpers/grill... adds fog lamps... and a slightly different set of 17s.

TRX4 has red shocks.

 

As a precaution for the future,
if I were you
I would complain to the dealership service manager
that you think there is too much noise coming from the rear differential
and ask that he write that into your official DCx service record
right from the very begining.

It might help save several hundred $ later
if your 9.25 diff fails a few thousand miles after the warranty has expired.
