Ok old School, two more questions and I'll be done for a while:

When was the changeover to the good pump and how can I tell the good pump from the less-good pump? What problems should I look out for on a 94?

Ok... You caught me still unpacking boxes at the new place and getting the PC up and running with the new ISP. Here goes. .
I'd look for a '96 to '98 215 hp pump, off of a 2023 or 2175 CPL engine. I don't have the serial #'s handy. The earlier pumps were on the 170 hp motors.

Uh oh; drove a new 3500 with 4. 10 rear. It was a DOG! My 89 would chew it up and spit it out. It took FOREVER to spool up. The computer is OBVIOUSLY programmed to protect the weak 618 transmission! If I get a Gen 2, it WON'T be an ISB! I'll either get a 98 and put ALL of the transmission upgrades from BD, or I'll go outside of Mother MOPAR.

As having an original 12 valver, and now the last of 'em, I'll say you'll be pleased to own a 12 valve '98.
Good luck.

Thanks; there's a bunch of 'em for sale around here right now. Looking for something with leather! Sure would be cheaper than the new Chevy. If only it had an Allison... ... ... .

I drove the new Chevy yesterday; it's everything they say it is and more, especially the transmission;but I just can't see myself shelling out forty grand for a new truck, so I'm going to look at some 98's this week. Unfortunately, my wife has her mind made up on both a new truck AND a crew cab, so it looks like the losing battle boils down to Chevy or Ford. If the choice ends up that way, it will be the Chevy.
