Hello boys and girls of the internet. Quick question, The 2002-2003 Dodge ram 1500's were optioned with the same 5.9 magnum thrown in the 2nd gen correct? Im just finding out about this, As i love the small block 5.9 Magnum in my 2nd gen. I wouldn't mind having the same motor yet in a modern updated more comfortable interior. Does anybody have any experience with these "5.9 Magnum" 3rd gen dodges? I'd love to hear it!

Good to know! I hate the newer hemi's but don't mind that body style. Might have to switch!

Yeah the Hemi's are a real POS. I'll be happy to take that Hemi off your hands when you make that 360 swap, wouldn't want you to be stuck with it.

They make great powers! Just was always worried about the "Hemi Tick" And the amount of room i'd have to change it's 16 SPARK PLUGS!

Yes, the 2002-2003 Dodge Ram 1500s did come with the 5.9 Magnum engine, just like the 2nd gen models. If you like the 5.9 Magnum, the 3rd gen trucks with this engine offer a similar motor but with a more modern interior. Many people find the newer models more comfortable while keeping the same engine.
