Yeah, it's legit. That is indeed the first year of the diesel in a ram. It was a non-turbo, very underpowered setup. I would still get it if I could-they should get stupid fuel mileage and not mind running partly on filtered waste motor oil as well. I bet you could get over 30 mpg with one on the highway if you had numerically low rearend gears. No kidding.
