Well Billyrae, some of us only traded their 530i for the CTD. The M5 is nice but if I wanted to go FAST, I'd take my 600hp Chevelle. Now I might be a city slicker turned cowboy-wanna-be... and I might have attended one of those universities with all the big buildings. But I'm darn sure not stupid enough to come on a site and start thumbing your nose around especially when you make so many gramatical and spelling errors in your first two posts. White collar my a**.

Second, 2500 SRW vs 3500 SRW is 10.5 ring gear vs 11.5 ring gear. You'll probably blow a tire or bend the frame before you damage rear end. 3500 (Real one ton) will hold massive weight with 4 truck tires in rear. If you putt the truck around alot and don't pull alot of weight then get a 2500, it may be easier on registration fees, and is easier to park without dual rear wheels.

Just took a quick stroll through the Dodge website and the 10.5 is standard on all 2500 models - CTD and Hemi - no option of going with the 11.5. The 11.5 is standard on 3500s.
Something odd I noticed on the build-and-price site - you couldn't configure a SRW 3500. It automatically gave you DRW.

I knew I wanted a Cummins diesel for mileage, four doors for the family and the ability to haul my quad and 4000 lb boat around. Please forgive us white collar types our stupidity.

I think their website is kinda screwed up. It is my understanding that the 10.5 axle is now for the Hemi engine only. 11.5 for any cummins powered Ram.
Before the HO 600 engine came out, you could get the 10.5 axle with the SO model Cummins.

Could be. I got a little suspicious with the SRW vs DRW thing. Anybody know how to tell the difference? I could run out to my 2500 CTD and settle the issue.

Just look in your glove box to find out what you have.
I know that on some of the early 04.5s the 11.5 was standard. Later on you got the option choice for the axle with 10.5 being the norm.
So, I've heard.
