This is my 3rd cummins diesel. I had a 1998 standard cab XLT 5 speed which was a dandy. Then got married with tall step sons and needed a crew cab so got the 2003. It is the last truck I will have. I am in the process of updating and improving. Just added Bilstein 5100's, 2 inch leveling kit and a new gear box. Planning to pull dents and repaint as needed. It is a big white truck base model, my only requirements were cruise control, AC, diesel, 6 speed manual, long bed 4x4 that I could hose out, I do miss the electric, heated mirrors though in the winter.
