I'm just not a fan of overhead cam timing chains. Course if I had my way everything would be gear to gear. Like Brad, I'd go with the 5.2 or the 5.9. The 5.9 should be similar in fuel economy (not good) but is a very dependable engine as is the 5.2. Upper ball joints were a poor design in my opinion. We did numerous ones when I worked at a Dodge dealer. Stay away from the 9.25 light duty differential. It's got a bigger cover and the axle tube narrows 2-3 inches before the backing plate. We replaced numerous pinion bearings in those. Check for a growl on accel that goes away on coast at 40-50 mph. Sometimes they were so bad they growled all the time. I bought a 2003 with a 3.9 new and I love the truck. Hope that helps. Gerard
