It's my pot and I'll stir it if I want to. If you're not careful, I'll stir your's as well!

Some of the above would be nice, especially better quality paint. Stronger and smaller lights would also be a huge improvement. Wish the American manufactures would wake up to the fact that when you have a box on the back, that things need to be tied down. A tiedown at each corner does not cut it. I want to see about 5 or 6 tiedowns on each side, at least two in the front and two on the tailgate.
How about a full airbag suspension and do away with springs altogether?

YES!

I'd like to meet the engineer responsible for the specs on the drivers compartment. (the word KNUCKLEDRAGGER comes to mind)

I would also like to have a Laser Cannon on the front.

I would like to see telescoping wheel(6'4") EGT and boost gauge in the dash
and better seats. Air bag option for the back,auxilary gas tank option on top of the spare tire,I would like more hood and less wind shield (it's like a greenhouse in the summer) I WOULD LIKE BETTER DC DEALERS
Why don't they use the Cummins ECU instead of making their own?
Why can't we get engine issues fixed at Cummins ?
Why aren't there more rear end options? I would like a 3.21 or 3.08
WHy not a splitter transmission?
I hope the seatbelts work well because if I have a stout front end collision
my neck will probably break when my forehead hits the roof over the steering wheel.
There arent many places to put things in the dash. The floor console sucks
(6 spd manual)
I would like a LWB Megacab Dually.
The AC is probably the same AC as in the Regular cab Not enough capacity
for a Quad or Mega. I have a Quad.
CUmmins shop here told me that their programmer can't read the Dodge ECU.

The engine issues repaired at Cummins is cause if its warranty the engine was SOLD to D.C.with NO warranty.If its custormer pay the differance in ECM's force it BACK to a D.C.store for obvious reasons.MONEY.Of COURSE a Cummins store could always BUY a DRB and advertise localy that THEY do work on ALL CUMMINS engines but maybe that will get their hand slapped.Who knows.

Lots of things I would like and some were mentioned...But for the life of me I can't figure out when you order a tow package it includes the reciever wiring for trailer and all the goodies even wired for a quick hook-up for the brake controller....but no **** place to put it!
