Default Looking for a one ton...what motor

Looking for feedback. I have a three quarter ton with a 5.9 cummins. Am looking at one tons and a little newer then my 2001, and find too many motor options. My first choice is another 5.9, but which others are as good, and which should I avoid

Never even consider a non diesel, just want to figure out which motors are best

Well the 5.9 is your only option untill 06 or 07 when the 6.7 came into production.. You can no longer get the deletes for the 6.7's I dont think.. I would stick with the 5.9

Unless you're talking about other brands the Dodge 3500 only gets a Cummins Turbo Diesel. Like stated in either a 5.9L (03-07.5) or a 6.7L (07.5 - present). If not a Dodge my second choice would be a Ford with their new 6.7L Turbo Diesel.
