i recommend for your needs a chevy or gm 6.2 diesel. not real power houses but reliable as all heck if you get them started. they werent easy starters but once they were running im not going to say there powerful definily torque but very very reliable. if you anywhere above 40 deg. itll start just when temps get below 32 w/o a block heater you wont get them started. an ambilical cord(block heater) is a must below 40. chevy parts are so so so so so numerous tranny rear end etc so numerous. also youll love the dana 60 in back pulling that much weight. my best recommendation i have seen is a gm body powertrain w/a cummins repower. dodge always has had a weak powertrain. the cummins motor is a very strong motor though. repowering is acutally quite simple to go from a 6.2 or 6.5 to a cummins. that i think would be your best bet gm powertrain cummins motor but if not available i would go for a 6.2
