We are in Dodge diesel no mans land. I have not had much luck in finding folks around here that have an interest and knowledge. I own a '99 but would not say that I have a good working knowledge. The one meeting we tried to setup two years ago was attended by two people. I will tell you that these trucks are reliable except for some specific issues. However, these specific issues are well documented and searching for solutions should not take long.
Best of luck
