2004 ram versus 2006 ram

All things being equal, I would get the 06. It's just a little better in many ways.

Both are a nice find though. They would sell within hours of posting where I live.

I would get the '06 if both were in the same condition. The '04 may or may not have 48re transmission that is better than the previous 47 that supposedly was transitioned out with the 04.5 model year. Also, the '04 may or may not have the 325/610 HO engine. The '06 for sure has the 48re transmission (unless it is a manual transmission) and the 325/610 HO engine. Also, you might want to look at the axle ratios to be sure you are getting the one you want for towing. Most duallys came with at least a 3.73 and many a 4.10 ratio.

I believe is was only the early 2003's that still had the 47RE and lower HP/TQ.

2004.5 was 325/600 and does indeed have a catalytic converter. I understand they made some tow/haul switching changes later on that some didn't like. My 2004.5 just turned 90k and I would classify the engine as being in very good condition, almost fresh. I expect many more years of continued trouble free service. I do wish I had better headlights.

I would pick the one that has the exhaust brake already installed.

I'd get Silver over Maroon, but I like the 04 seats over the 06 seats if they're cloth.

So which one did ya get? Come on lets see some pictures!
