Message: [QUOTE="tomlin, post: 1561008, member: 13915"] The 99-04 trucks are like gold and hard to get reasonably, especially in a diesel. The 08-10 are the most common to be swapped due to the prevalence of dead 6.4's and 3V 5.4's. The newer cabs are definitely quieter. The 05+ steering being 'better' is arguable. There is no doubt that the turning radius and overall ride is better. Some of this is due to the added cab insulation and different cab mounts. That said, there are drawbacks to the 05+design. If the suspension is not 100%, you will likely experience death wobble. Simply put, death wobble sucks, bad. This is primarily due to insufficient caster and or worn parts. The caster issue has been, and continues to be, an issue to this day. Also, if you are a Yankee in the rust belt, the 05+upper coil brackets rot away after a few years along with the coil springs. The 99-04 leaf spring suspension didn't have these issues as there was not a place for the salty brine to pool and cause corrosion. [/QUOTE]
