Holy cow! I guess I have been lucky. I did also change the oil pan and tranny pan but that is the salt in NY as you know, not a faulty component.

And I don't have any power anything, except for the Hemi! Keeps it a little simpler.

I have an '03, the first years 1500 w/ a HEMI and it's been a great truck drivetrain wise. I have 155,000 w/ only a power steering pump failure new, and typical brake changes. However, living in NY w/ the salt, it is rusting away. Holes in the quarter panels, cab corners, and numerous other spots. I'll still buy another Dodge though since it's been a very reliable ride for 10 years.

Probably will get a '06/'07 mega cab diesel,6 speed though for my next one for better mileage when towing.

OK thanks for the suggestions. I've used the Oetiker clamps for work in the past. Any idea on what size it is?

NO reason at all not to buy it. Just see if he has done any of the updates the '09 needs.

This one pulls harder than your 800 does.

They didn't even have a single 1200 at the Sneak Peek here yesterday, pretty disappointing. Of course they had 5 of the 900 Ace versions though.
