john-r is correct, Nate Dawg. I had a 98 just like
yours, 4x4 and same engine and gears. I installed
a class five hitch, tranny cooler, bought a
trailor light kit from a RV dealer plus the
electric brake controllor and pulled my 26 footer
with no problems at all... Just remember, disable
the over drive while pulling a big load.

Ya thanx guys I'm still getting all the details about the truck cause I just got it a week ago and i love it so far.raced a Sonoma ZR2 with a 4.3 V6 and smoked it and a silverado with a 5.3 and smoked it oo, so i'm pretty happy. one more thing is that a friend of mine told me that there is a factory mopar part you can get for more horepower, you guys know anything about that??? any help would be great.
Thnx

im pretty sure the 98 takes programmers.. dont go with mopar parts.. even though thats what the dealer wants.. i put a superchip on mine and it worked really well.. you can get a good deal on one of those dont miss the chance.... otherwise switch out your gears with 410s and youll be quicker

Nate Dawg and Bammy,
I have a SuperChip programmer for my '00 5.9 QC and like it. (Improved fuel economy by 4% over a 6,000 mile [with] vs 16,000 mile [without] comparison). It is a VIN specific tool (handheld programmer) and will a require 'reset' by the manufacturer before it can be used for other than diagnostic purposes on another rig.
I think the performance is worth the extra high octain cost,...
Doc
