Are 3rd gen front end any better than 2nd gen

[Tomscreek]

Just wondering if Dodge has improved any of the junk crap they put on the 2nd gen trucks like the track bar, ball joints, steering shaft, power steering and vacumn pumps, or is it still the same ol junk?

TDR said no vacuum pump on 2003, Don't know about the other questions except that beginning late 2002 front differential runs all the time ,no way to disconnect the front axle.

Track bar no longer has the ball joint on one end. Has rubber bushings on both ends now. Looks like it should last longer than OE on the previous models.
