had a 96 dodge 2500 360w/5spd 4x4. Couldn't stop that beast! After 4 years of beating on it and paying through the nose to fuel it i finally gave it to my cousin who wound up killing it via drunk driving. I really miss that truck. The one thing I had a problem with especially running big tires on it is the steering box failed a couple times on me, needed a seal at the bottom where the pitman arm bolted. Other than that it was very very reliable. Wish you were closer I got two doors in mint shape sitting in my garage. Mine had the door problems too... Watch out for those automatics they have a tendency to fail if pushed hard. The external cooler will help BIG time so you should be in the clear! Congrats on your new to you ride. I am willing to bet most guys here are not mopar fans but like anything with wheels they have their ups and downs.
