Looking into buying a 3rd gen 5.9l Ram

Nobody, just pointing it out. It was added back on 3rd gens after the 13 update.

Im hoping the CAD is less troublesome on these trucks, one of the reasons i like my 05 is the simplicity of the 4wd system

I think it was generally the vacuum systems. I helped a buddy put a cable on his 94 12V when it started acting up but then the wife hated it when she started using the truck more after he got his 08 so it got put back to stock (and fixed).

On my 01 i bought the right inner shaft from an 02 and cut the cad fork so the cad was just for indicating if the 4wd was on or not… i wish my 05 had a 4x4 indicator lol i forgot it on a few times after driving in freezing rain
 
Well guys I'm back still looking for a Ram Cummins. I found a 2005 SLT with 335,xxx miles. Body looks like it had no rust, interior looks a bit dirty but overall intact, no missing pieces. 2 owner vehicle. They are asking $10,500. Purchasing out of state so I will probably get PPI done. Dealer offers virtual inspection, wondering if I can get by with that....

If it’s always been in the Southwest, should be zero rust/corrosion.
 
Also noted the mounting brackets on the seats rusty. Any cause of concerns or is it pretty normal?
 
I know you mentioned a 3rd gen Cummins but there the dad of a guy on one of the Overlanding forums is selling a 2ng gen. Looks pretty clean. Dallas area. I so not know the guy or his dad.

Hey guys, I ended up finding a 2005 Ram 2500 SLT from Phoenix with 266,xxx miles in excellent condition. It should arrive in the next day or two. I have a quick question, it doesn't have a keyfob but also doesn't have a keyhole on the passenger door. Can I just order a keyfob and program it to the truck, or do I need an existing keyfob to do it?

Dealer can program a fob for it, my 05 does not have a key hole on the passenger side either
