Anyone know if there are any major frame differences, most importantly the with between the two frame rails, are they the same???? I'm trying to find out if the push plates for a fisher plow off a new style 2500 will fit on a new style 1500.

 

Dodge specifically says in the owner's manual that the 1500 is not to be used for plowing, I believe it's even in bold type

 

I'm pretty sure that wasn't the question, and yes, you are correct it does say they don't recommend it ever since they did away with the solid front axle.

I know many other people using them, two of them are 03's identical to mine and they haven't had a problem. The other is a 4.7 and it has a heavy Boss V blade on it and he's only had to replace 1 ball joint and his also is an 03.

Additionally, The dealer knows i'm using it for plowing, that's what I bought it for and they told me they would definitely look after me, they look after my friends two trucks perfectly. Maybe it's because i'm in Canada, I don't know!
