Greg,
This is my personal experience, so take it for what it's worth. Comparatively speaking, the transmission of Dodges has tended to not hold up well compared to other brands. Again, this is just the people I know (through my work with ag people and me and my Dad's experiences in construction). Otherwise, I've not heard of major problems with the engines from that year.
I guess the question is why not just upgrade the brakes and suspension in your truck if you like it otherwise? Seems like a cheaper option.
Cheers,
bob
