    Yeah if you are pulling loads of block and stuff constantly, go with a diesel. Duramax, personally.

    Looks good, but I would get some wing nuts to replace the regular nuts. You will hate to get out a wrench every time you use your jack.

    Took my valve covers off again, because i over tightened the driver side cover and cracked it a little. But it looks clean for 290k miles

    My dad got rid of his 2003 Ram 2500 Turbo Diesel Cummins, one of the best years they made that engine. I loved the truck, TDR did a report on the engine disassembling it after I think 200k and it still met factory specs and tolerances. If I was buying a Diesel I would search for that same year and model :D Good luck.
