Unfortunately its just a quad cab.I bought it too early for a Mega.People have a hard time believing it has 221k on it.Only thing that really shows it is the steering wheel.I love the length of it.It rides nice on the highway and tows great.Steering isnt bad either since it has rack and pinion.Its been a great truck.

I bet it rides really nice being lwb, 2wd and having that 1200 lb power house planted over the front wheels.

6 speed ?

did you buy this new. any problems ? mine is similar to yours. going down the road it's hard to believe you're riding in a 3/4 ton diesel pick up.

I bought it new in Nov of 02.Let me down once,Had a wheel bearing failure at 180k.2 days for the bearing.I was stuck In New Columbia Pa on I80 at a hotel.One other time didnt really leave me stranded, was in Denver,just dropped off a 38ft Mobile Suite when I lost power.Turned the key off started back up,then did it again a little down the road.Started back up and turned around and went to the Dodge dealer I just passed.The APPS(Basiclly the TPS on a Diesel) crapped out.Fixed under Warranty.Took a day which was fine I had friends in Denver and had a great time.One Injector at a little over 100k.Other than that just maint,Ball joints once,Inner and out tie rods,Changed the filter mounted fuel pump to the intank,The Pwr Steering Res.Ive only put brakes on it 3 times.Clutch is OE still.Im very happy with the truck and wont get rid of it.Ive had alot of good times in it.

I miss my quadcab but, the mpg's on that hemi were killing me. How many miles do you have on that beastie? Any power adders or exhaust?
