Well, unfortunately the front end suspension and interior *are* made by Dodge! Otherwise, I'd be inclined to own one... </div></div>

I'm not big on the interior either... I am having to replace a few front end components as well but I would relate mine to miles and the weight of the engine in the truck. It is the roughest riding truck I have ever owned but I suffer through it... I would like to find a mid to late 90's Chevy truck and swap in a 12V Cummins and a 10 speed Eaton/Fuller Road Ranger Trans. That would really be something. The NV4500 trans I have now is strong but I find myself needing more gears as 1,2,3 are close and strong but 4th and 5th are a long stretch and something in between would be really nice... I will say this, between the Powerstroke, Duramax and Cummins engines, they all work well but the Cummins sound IMO has the perfect sound. The Powerstroke sound has never been anything special to me. I have a 4 inch diameter straight pipe on my Cummins and I get caught up in listening to it as much as I do my small and big block chevies [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img] [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img]
