2004-2006 Dodge Diesel
Looking for a good used 2004 - 2006 Dodge Diesel, as I don't care to get into the newer emissions stuff. Anything good or bad to say about these year models? Thanks

I would avoid the 03. It has a smaller turbo and less power. The gap between them and the newer year after that is something I wouldn't compromise on unless the price was right.
305 HP version went through 2004. Then went to 325. Same turbo through 2004 with 305. Certainly nothing about the 305 engine itself you would want to avoid and if you think the turbo is small, you don't understand how they work. The 305 has no issues with EGT and the turbo will happily flow well beyond that if asked to.
Many believe the 305HP was the best engine ever put in a Dodge and is legendary for its fuel efficiency. It also lacks the cat conv. the 325hp models were forced to employ (and hence, use bigger turbo housings).
BTW, my 305 keeps up with my buddy's 325 (in stock form) just fine.
Is this where the brand bashing starts?
The 2004.5 is the 2004 with 325 hp. I own one.
