125,000 the front end will be gone. You will need to replace bushings, ball joints, wheel bearings, tie rod ends. I did it to mine. Drives like new now. I also put a solid steel steering stabilizer on mine and that tightened things up significantly in the steering box.
Lift pump- I have heard all kinds of stories and you will always rememeber the worst. Mine went out at 144,000 miles. Died in the driveway.

Mine has 200K and is still on the original injection pump and second lift pump, knock on wood.
Transmission - My truck doesn't have a chip. Never has. I get 21 hwy miles. 3.55 rearend. I can pull my Super M Farmall and it does fine. Now if I was going to pull more, I would get a standard transmission, or maybe have it rebuilt. Key here is keeping it cool.

dieseltruckresource.com is also another good resource.
The 24 valve dodge is a good choice, just be ready to do a little mechanical work every now and then. I am hoping my truck will go to 500K
