You may want to reconsider the diesel since you want to use it for a daily driver as long as its not a whole lot of short trips. I drive a 92 Dodge dually with automatic and 3.55 rear . It averages 17-19 mpg empty and around 12-14 pulling a gooseneck. This is about double of what my wifes v-10 gets.Mine has 305,000 miles,no engine problems other than maintenance(adjust valves,oil and filter changes, I change the fuel filter at every oil change. The trans has held up fine,I had it rebuilt at 250,000 for preventive maintenance more than need,the clutches were still servicable,but the converter was starting to chatter. It is serviced every 20,000 with a band adjustment.I shut the OD off on hard pulls.I see no reason why this truck won't go to 500,000 with no major problems.Like everything else good maintenance is the key to longevity.
