My friend has an '05 Dodge Laramie 3500 with the 5.9L and a 6sp manual trans. He's spending a big chuck of change on injectors with only 150k on them and the FASS fuel system. At least yours has the FASS already. Hopefully you have better luck but you did the right thing getting the manual trans. The dodge autos suck. My other friend has an '02 with the 5.9L and went through 3 autos in 4 years.

Good luck with your Cummins and its Inferior shipping crate. You cant compare a 03 to a 97. That is like comparing apples to steak. And I would HOPE that a 03 with all the things done to it would outrun a 8 year older platform
The 6.0s are problematic in stock format, but you head stud, EGR delete and oil cooler upgrade and you have a powerhouse that is reliable in a QUALITY truck
