I had a lot of front end components changed like ball joints and i have just installed the BD diesel steering box brace. that made a big difference, but driving a truck with a solid front axle over the chev is still a big difference.
I spend 5 months a year in an RV in Mexico and they do not sell diesel PU's there so the only engine i can be assured of being able to get worked on is Cummins. I spent last winter babying my dmax back to the US from Guadalajara with is smoking badly from bad injectors. I did 4 sets of those in 125K at $5000 a shot. 2 of the 4 sets wee covered under warranty.

The lastest steering upgrade from Dodge is the fourth gen style. That style is the most up to date they have and it will be going on my 2002 ram 2500 why my front end wears out.
The steering brace help but the death wobble seems to happen most on a loose front end or one that has the wrong settings something to do with camber i believe. The suspension colapses when u hit a certain bump and thats when most get death wobble.
My truck has never had it for some reason??
I would definately get the upgrade kit though. Call the dealer and ask for the lastest "kit". It's quite a bit beefer too than the old set up.
