If you get the Dodge of that vintage, get the 6 spd or buy another brand. The automatic is not quite up to the Cummins engine. Course here I am with an 01 2500 with 132k miles on the original 47RE automatic transmission still going strong. The truck is lightly loaded most times, but does get to tug its fair share of 10-15k lbs loads.
search this forum for some recent threads. Dodge rides more like a truck (stiffly sprung). Chevy and Ford have nicer interiors and ride quality, but the Cummins inline six is the top of the food chain. IMO, without the Cummins, the Dodge is a loser.
