Buddy of mine bought a '95 2500 longbed 4x4 with a manual tranny and the 488 v10, It wasn't a bad truck to drive after I molested it. Blew the transfer case twice, though. With the headers and borla dual exhaust it sounded just like a Viper, and I could do a brake stand in every gear after opening up the motor a bit. It got 7mpg though. He got rid of it to daily drive a Mustang Cobra.
