I like the 01.5 and newer due to the rear disc brakes. I’ve had this one since 03. Has 192k on it now.
....and I just replaced the dash about a year ago with a LMC unit. $330 delivered.
Important note: Rear disc brakes were 2500/3500 only in 2001. 1500 went 4 wheel disc in 2002 with the new body style (DR). 2500/3500 were still old body style (BR) for 2002.
I had two nearly identical 3500 4x4s, a '96 CC and '01.5 QC The brakes ALONE made the trade worthwhile. The '96 had barely adequate brakes and AWFUL 4 wheel antilock. '96 was the 1st year 4 wheel antilock was available for the 3500 4x4, simply terrible.
IIRC, May 2000 was the first availability of rear discs, when they became standard. My build date was August 23, 2000
I really thought the 1500's got rear discs first?
