What are the latest mods?

look into typical repairs and cost of replacement parts. I work on diesels for a living... they aren't cheap.
A diesel in a big truck is ment to last a million miles, as is the truck.
A diesel in a light duty truck (one ton and less) is only designed to live half that, becouse they know the truck won't last as long. I know many pick ups do last that long, but they are the minority.
I'm just saying, your dollar would probably go further with another choice.
