My 98 5.2 has 108,000 miles and I have not had ball joint problems or
anything else. The only thing I was the TPS, where the truck would

everything else...better not curse myself though, knock on wood.

I traded my 99 R/T in on a 2003 Ram hemi with 55k miles, no major problems
with mine. Looking forward to a srt-10 when any Texas dealer says they can
get me one.
