You can see from my signature that I have the truck you are talking about. We love it. The ride, loaded or solo, is far superior to the Ram Quad-Cab shortbed that we had before we traded up to this combination.
We bought this 06 3500 in 2010 with 24,000 miles on the clock. We found the previous owner through CARFAX records and found that he was the original purchaser. Turns out that his wife refused to drive it because of the size (There are no "little" crew cab long beds.) and he was not putting enough miles on it to justify the cost of diesel oil changes.

Enjoy!
