I don`t know every difference but here`s a few.
The R/T has 17 in wheels and is about 2in. lower.
It also has bigger swaybars front and rear and is only available with the 360 V8 and the auto. tranny.

The SLT has Chrome bumbers and grill. The R/T has color molded grill and bumbers. The SLT is suppost to have a higher quality cloth for the interior. The R/T only comes with the 5.9L 360 CI engine. The STL has that option in the Quad Cab. There are a lot 'little' differences, its hard to name them all.
My SLT stickered about $2,000 less than a simmilar R/T.

It is 1" all around as compared to the other packages. The R/T's come with the following:
5.9L motor
1' lower suspension
3.92 Gears
LSD
46RFE Auto Tanny
17" rims
Color matched Grille, front, and rear bumpers
Color matched fender flares (I think these are now offered with the SXT package, but not color matched...not sure)
Larger side mirrors
Infinity sound
I think that is pretty much it. I am not totally sure of what the SLT has.
Hope this helped...

That's 46RE Kris. ;) Hey...hows the new tube holding up?
The main differences between the R/T and SLT is the suspension (1" drop) and body options (trimmings - fender/bumpers). Trans and Engine can be ordered with the SLT as well (along with the gears).

I didn't think you could get the manual tranny with any 5.9L dakota. The last manual dakota was a 318 I believe, and the Ram 5.9L used a different tranny, one built for towing not speed.

The LAST manual V8 Dakota is the 4.7L
But you are right in that the RAM tranny was built to pull not to go fast. Though I have heard of people bolting up (with extra tweaking) the Manual from a 318 to the 360. Since it is the same block.

if you get a 5speed, it will help level the playing feild, if not, mods to mods, the R/T will win.
Bernd, when could you get a 5.9 5speed combo in a slt? QC?
it dosent really matter though, duner's trans in his 12 sec truck is holding up just fine. ;-)

bernd ARE YOU SURE??? i bought my truck in 98, and there was no way i could get a 360 with a 5speed. i had to settle for the 318. i have also never heard of anyone with that combo unless they converted it themselvs.

Big 59, i talked to duner at the tucon meet, and he told me that he has had no problems with his trans... and that is with a couple of hundred passes on it with the turbo setup
also, martain saine has a VERRY FAST dakota (i heard it is in the 11 sec range) and it has the 5speed as well.

Bernd you are wrong on this one, the 5.9 never has had a 5-speed in any form of Dakota, 4x4, 2x4, RC, QC, CC, whatever... The NV3500 is just not rated by NV to allow that much input torque. The Rams use the NV4500 with the 360. The nv3500's don't always stand up behind 318's and 4.7's with a few mods, let alone with 13% more torque stock on a 360. It just wouldn't cover the warranty claims to put the NV3500 behind the 360, especially with the manufacturer washing their hands of it because it excedes their design specifications. Now then think all the problems of driveshafts and axles with the low first gear multiplication factor of the 5-speed. There would be even more problems there.

if a 5speed can not withstand the torque of a stock 360, how does it stand up to 11, and 12 sec trucks?

I'm not aware of how many 11 and 12 second trucks out there have the 5-speed besides Duners and it's turbo having to build torque may be a lot easier on the drivetrain then would say a stock 360 or blown 318 would. And I'm sure there are some out there that will survive a while, but will they survive a full warranty period with enough consistancy not to eat up all the profits? New Venture I'm sure did a bunch of durability testing on their nv3500 to come up with an acceptible input torqe rating. One that the transmission could live with for the long haul. The fact that New Venture doesn't rate the nv3500 for the 360's stock torque is one reason you don't see the 5-speed as an option on the R/T, I'm sure of that. The same reason you won't see a 4.7 HO/5-speed combo in a Dakota either. The other big reason is that the extra torque multiplication of the 1st gear would require heavier axles and driveshafts.

Hersbird, Turbos are awesome on trannies for the fact that what they produce in the the later gears is no where near what a stock vehicle does in first gear.
"The other big reason is that the extra torque multiplication of the 1st gear would require heavier axles and driveshafts."
Yupp!
Stuarth forgot to mention however, that the SLT bumper works very well in an accident!

Oh yeah, that's also one of the reasons I think a stroked 4.7L would rip the tranny a new one.
