Attention: TDR Forum Junkies 
I liked it, Quite a Peppy Diesel For stock.
I also like the way Auto-trans shifted, Very Solid for a stock truck.
I like the fact that DC now has a Bullet proof Locker in the rear diff, No more "sure grip" clutch type limited no grip.
The brakes are far better than the 2nd gens Disc/drum, Steering is much improved too.
With that said, the model I test drove was a standard hp CTD /47re Quad cab SB 4x4 truck with most of the gadgets and leather, Priced out at 42,000.
I think I will keep my 98 and put 42k into it!
.
Just think what 42k would buy for a 5yr old truck!
What supprised me is that the 03 has lots of lag time off the line, But,It pulls OD real nice from 1300rpm clear to 2800rpm.
