[QUOTE="DiamondSCattleCo, post: 156248, member: 2862"] Did you actually see one, or is this another salesman dreaming? The torque of the current 5.9 Cummins would twist the frame of the 1500 into a pretzel, unless it was detuned. Ditto for the 9" rear diff. And the weight of the engine would require the front running gear of the 2500 as the 1500 springs/ball joints simply wouldn't handle the weight. Heck, one of the weak points of a 2500/3500 Cummins RAM is the ball joints give up the ghost every 100,000 klicks and the trackbar dies every 125,000 klicks (ok, the 03 and up trucks appear to have taken care of the trackbar issue).
