Hey guys, new here. I currently own a 2WD 2004 Nissan Titan and a 1974 Chevy K10. I live in an area with a lot of snowfall and need a second 4WD before winter hits. I absolutely love the looks of the old bodystyle 4wd, 2500, ext cab longbeds. I have had boats my whole life but currently don't have one to tow. I know I will have a trailer of some sort some day when the funds permit. In other words I don't need a 3/4 ton right now but always loved these things in diesels and would rather already have a 3/4 ton if I DO need one than need one and only have a 1/2 ton. The Titan is the one that would be parting with me obviously. I love it and she's got a lot of power but like I said before...

I know this is a Dodge forum so I'll most likely get a lot of posts FOR this idea rather than AGAINST it, but I just want to hear some honest testimonials from those of you with the setup I've described I'm going for. I've also NEVER owned a diesel in my life and like to do most repairs myself. How easy are diesels to work on? I also noticed that the towing capacity on the '02 2500's is about 5000 pounds more than previous. What's with that? Different axles? Thanks guys and sorry for the all the skepticism (spelling?) just want to get into the right truck.
