We've had 3 Dodges, a 97, a 04.5 and a 06 now. The newer ones, including the 03's have a new trans, the 48RE. They are a strong trans, much better than the one in the 97, a 47RE. My BIL has an 03 2500, no problems. They get a bit better fuel mileage than the newer ones. I can't compare them to the other 2 as we have never owned either one. Be sure it's not a neutered California model. I'm not sure how to determine that though, maybe hp output listed on the valve cover. If you get it watch the lift pump, it is a weak point in the system.
