Miles? In that case, I think I would be looking for a MUCH lower mileage motor to toss in there.

I thought these were indestructible engines? Well do the 5.9s use the same transmission.

Exact same trans.

They are rugged, but, more than 300K miles? It ain't a diesel.

I have a 5.9l with the same symptoms. Would it be beneficial to swap motors on mine as well?

That would be a heck of a drive for a cheap motor....... Spend more in gas, than you would just getting one locally.

So pick one up cheap, go thru it. (gaskets, seals, rings, bearings) Then just swap 'em over. That way, you can still drive your truck while rebuilding a motor.
