5.2 vs 5.9 ram pros and cons ??

75slant6 said

Hi all, I'm currently in the market for a truck. What I really want is a 94-01 ram 1500 4x4 5.9 but I've found a few really nice trucks with 5.2s in em. So I'm wondering, what are the pros and cons between 2 identical trucks, one a 5.2, one with a 5.9? I will use the truck as my daily driver, get parts with it and pull a car hauler and car with it several times a year. Any input welcone!! Need help deciding here!!
Thanks

I have a 98 3500 auto with a 5.9. Love it. Pulls excellent and never had a problem with the engine or tranny. My buddy has a 2500 with the 5.2 and it's making a racket up top. Doesn't seem to hamper his driving it. My other buddy has a 1500 with the 5.2 and he likes it. The truck is beat to **** but the engine purrs. All the same body style 98/99-ish.
Nice trucks. Just broke 120K on mine. It pulls my bass boat and that is all.
