Make sure to check to see if it's got the LSD (limited Slip Differential). Surprisingly it was an option. When I was shopping for mine there were a lot of them without it.
Good luck with your search.

With the 5.9 definitely, I never liked the old 4 speed auto with the 5.9, hated that combo always felt doggy and out of the power band. Buddy got rid of his quickly after towing a few times for a 6 speed manual 5.9 . The new 6 speed auto is a great trans paired to the new 6.7

I have a '03 3500 Dodge crew cap with the 5.9 and 6 speed manual. I am about to hit 270,000 mile on it! Just this month I put my first clutch in it and replaced the injectors. I have had some miner problems along the way but over all I have loved this truck.
