- 1998.5 12V Quad cab: only year of the quad cab with the bulletproof 12V using the 215hp pump. These trucks had issues with steering boxes and rear brakes.

Wouldn't a 98.5 be a 24v? My friends has a 98.5 sport quad cab, it's a 24v.

Anyways...

As much as I like my 01, it doesn't ride anywhere as nice as the newer ones in my experiences. If I parted with mine I would get an 03-06 6 speed... another friend had an 04 6 sp, I wish I had the $ to buy it when he sold it.

Nope the 12v was available until mid 1998...after that they switched to the 24V. I should have said "early 1998 12V trucks"

I agree that the Gen3's are much nicer driving than the Gen 2's.


Again; the 2003/early 2004 305/555 trucks with the NV5600 get my vote as the BEST Dodge diesel ever built....and I own a 6.7 truck with the 6 speed auto....won't be buying another one.

Myself, my closest friend and my cousin all have 2003's and haven't had a single issue with any of them. Mark and I both haul very heavy truck campers with trailers behind and my cousin has a large toy hauler 5th wheel...wish I could say the same about the other 4 Cummins rams I own.
